Well I'm sone 105#!!  it feels great and I think I am looking good-wearing a size meduim from a 3X!  I definitely need a new picture on here!  No regrets!

Wow when I was having all those problems I never thought I would be typing I had lost 68 pounds at 4 months out!  Still not eating a whole lot and not a failthful as I should be with my protein and vitamins, and exercise.  I've kinda reached a standstill in my weight  loss-nothing for at least two weeks.   That is depressing but I've got kick myself in the butt and get moving and do what I should again-it is too easy to become in a rut.  I want to be sexy!

Well, it has been exactly 12 days since my surgery, and things most definatly did not go as expected. On Tuesday morning, the 23rd, my husband was up with me while I was running a 102 temperature. I was in so much pain, that my husband and daughter decided it was time to take me back to Shawnee Mission Hospitle to the E.R. After getting down there, the nurses ran several tests. (But hey! They only had to stick me once!!! Good News!) However, the bad news was to come after several x-rays and a C.T. My surgeon found that one of the staples had come loose and that I was going to have to have a second surgery immediatly to correct the problem. I was in so much pain, that I didn't want to be stuck anymore, so they put a central line in my neck in order to get blood and give me the I.V. along with antibiotics. Surgery went well the second time through, and now hopefully all is corrected. I was in ICU overnight, hooked up to all kinds of tubes and gadgets. It is now 5 days post op #2, and I'm feeling much better even though I'm still in the hospitle. I'm getting lots of ice chips, popsicles, and care from my hubby. I'm even starting to walk about 3 times a day. And the great thing is... no nausea. I think things are finally going to start turning around. Its just going to take more time than I originally expected. Please pray for me.

It really doen't seem possible-only two days until my surgery-it all seems like a dream to me!  So many things happening in my family right now-almost feel guilty having an elective procedure done.  I guess it will make me more healthy to be there later if they need me!

Well I met with the bariatric coordinator and the Physical Therapist yesterday.  Its going to be here before I know it!  People at work are asking all kinds questions  about  the surgery and after the surgery.  I hope I am successful and show myself and others I can do it.

I am really at peace with my decsion to have surgery.  Everyone is supportive except my "best friend".  I really feel she is very judgemental and doesn't like me for what I am.  She feels I can just loose the weight if I diet.  I tried to explain what the procedure was and how overweight people once they get to a certain point are actually uanable to lose the weight.  I don't know -maybe she is jelous.  Cold vibes are definitely adrift since I told her I was going to have the surgery.  We don't talk much or do much together anymore. Guess I will go on with my life without her negative vibes-even though it hurts!

Well counting the days until surgery.  It really does't seem like Christmas this year-maybe it is too warm.  It really is going to be here soon but it just kinda seems like a dream.  Still needing an angel-hope I will get a response soon.

I've got a date!  1/15/07!.  What a way to start the new year!  I really liked Dr Hoehn.  He is young and confident, and he took time to answer any questions I had.  It's been a long hall-finally!!

Well it finally happened!! I got full approval from Sabapathy and I'm going to see Dr Hoehn and set the daye 12/4!  I can't believe it !

I lsot 6# this past week.  We had the Thanksgiving dinner at work tonight and it didn't even taste good!  I think I'm on the way to change for good!
