Hi OH Family,

I haven't been on the site for a minute but I'm doing okay. I'm 5 months out and 50 pounds lighter. While I appreciate what I have lost. I did think the number would be great but I won't complain. I'm grateful to God for the lost. I did join Ballys and have been working with a trainer so I'm hoping that thru diet and exercise my weight loss will increase.  Pray for me.

5 weeks and counting...................

Oct 13, 2008

Hi OH Family,

I'm about 5 weeks out and down 35lbs. WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm starting to see a small difference in the way my clothes fit.  You can really see the difference in my face. Last week was rough, my pouch was acting crazy. It was the first time that I wasn't able to keep food down I think I threw up three times. Learning to change the way you eat, meaning speed of consuming food is a big problem for me but I'm learning to take my time. My goal for now is to find a protein drink that doesn't gross me out. I read on this site that Nectar by Synthex had some great favors. I'm not a milk based, shake person so it's been hard to do the other protein shakes but I'm going to order the Nectar product because I'm starting to feel a different texture to my hair and my nails are starting to break easily. I also made the committment to walk each evening. So I'm just going to take one day at a time and try to do the right thing.

Hello OH Family,

I had my surgery on the 3rd and praise God I made it thru.  I'm doing well just trying to get my protein in daily. It's a struggle but I'm taking it one day at a time.  I did weigh myself  a few days ago and I'm down 15 pounds in a week................All I can say is God is Good!

Surgery

Sep 02, 2008

Tomorrow is the big day and I'm trying to stay calm.  I just ask that you all keep me in your prayers. I know that God's in charge but I'm still nervous.My BF send me an email that said, "If you're going to Pray, don't worry. If you're going to Worry, then don't Pray"..............So true!


EGD

Aug 31, 2008

I had my EGD on friday. My throat was killing me that day and the next day but I'm able to swallow a lot better today. If it wasn't for my throat hurting I wouldn't even know I had the procedure.  My surgery is this Wednesday and I'm feeling all kinds of emotions. I just pray that I make it thru safety. 


Pre Op Testing

Aug 12, 2008

I had my pulmonary function test and my pre op labs as well yesterday.  My lungs are great and I'm good to go. I'm scheduled to have my EGD on August 29. I'm a little nervous about the EGD but I pray I'll make it thru.
