Welcome, and Thanks for visiting my Bloggy Wogg,
My name is Katenna, and I'm as of this writing 58 yrs old, 5'4', and I weigh 289 lbs, I have Asthma, Fibromyalgia, Severe Sleep Apnea, High Blood Pressure, Type 2 Diabetes, Back pain, from 2 herniated discs and upper back pain caused by "The Girls", (my boobs), also, I have worn out my right knee from all this weight, it gives me pain on and off, and last but not least, I have planter fascitius in both my feet, probably caused from the weight, and not enough exercise, of which I'm not proud of. I'm trying everday to increase exercise in my life, Not easy as you probably know, also I am watching my portions, carbs, and fiber, trying to eat less fat, I want it to become second nature to me. I am beginning my weight lose journey, Hoping to have RNY wls. I'm so worried about my health, and so tired of the pain in my joints. One of the nice lady's here on the "over fifty" forum, sent this nice message to me, and I want to share it.
Think of this as YOUR JOURNEY....you are going to concentrate on YOU for probably the first time in your life in a long time. You are going to learn so many things about your health and yourself and it is all good for you. A year from now you are going to be healthier than you have been in many years. I am very excited for you. It just gets better and better.....there are rough spots but we are here to help you out. Marti

I have a Dr., his name is Dr. Patrick Coates, I have to loose weight before surgery, and have some tests done, and a physch. evaluation done, before I have my surgery, but thats ok. I will do what I have to do to loose this weight.

I have lost 23 lbs. since surgery, I am feeling well. I feel so wonderful not to be a slave to food. My only problems, are my feet and ankles stay sore somewhere all the time, from walking, I can't seem to drink enough fluids, or eat enough protien. My skin is dry, and I am always putting on lotion. I may turn to dust and blow away. I have so much energy, I almost have to make myself rest, I tend to over do, then I'm real tired. I enjoy going places with my family, though if I stand for a long to my back and hip joints ache. People say that will get better. I really want to loose 100 lbs. I want to look better, I would, really like to have a boyfriend,
I'm loosing weight, and I want to be close to someone. I want to date! 
Now I've said it! But My flesh is starting to hang, and my but is getting flabby, I feel 36, but my body is melting, I have to think possitive, and be Grateful to God, and Dr. Coates, that I am loosing weight, I'll be healthier, and thats a real plus. I just have to be patient, and if there is someone out there for me, God will make it happen.
