Thanks and wow moment
My Dear April Friends...and I mean that sincerely...I feel I know each of you and pray the Lord blesses each of you. Thanks to everyone who prayed and responded to my post.
I feel so much better today and had wonderful day at church. It is Agape Sunday which is the last Sunday of the month and we all bring covered dish to share and eat together. I never know how to count my food on this day because I am unsure of what is in the food and I only eat about 2-3T of safe food.
But today is a WOW Moment day. Mrs. Dot who passed away had some clothes she never got to wear. Her daughter brought me some to church two weeks ago and they fit. She gave me a size 4/6 pantsuit in red and black and I put it in the closet for later. Well, today is LATER I wore it and the pants were baggy!! I love it and felt so pretty. I love red like my Mom did. Today is 10th month since surgery date as we are all in at almost at 10 months...and never in my wildest dreams would I have thought I would be in a 4/6 today...God is good and I am so grateful for this surgery and this wonderful tool. Please...please do not think I am bragging or think I am doing better...it is I am just so overwhelmed with joy that this really worked...I was so afraid it wouldn't work for me. I am so free and happy and am just thanking the Lord everyday for this new life and what better group to share than those that were in the hospital the same month as me and who understand so much more. I thank each of you for sharing your joys, pains, frustrations and successes...you have made this jounrey much more bearable and joyful!! I am down 137lbs today and lost 11 1/2 pounds since Jan. 29. I have 18pounds to lose to get to 135 which is my goal. Unless my body finally finds it set point sooner...either way I am so happy.
Love in Him Who Is Love,

Joan, I love red too and I bet you looked good in it. This is a wonderful tool that God made available to us and we are using it well. I know what you mean about thinking it would not work---now I am thinking, will I be able to maintain. I think with the help and encouragement of those on OH and this site in particular, I will be able to maintain. I think that may be the biggest test of all. Julia W.
and your bedroom looks wonderful as well. Julia 
Joan, I just checked the Christianity board to see if you had posted how you were feeling today. When I got to this sight and saw your post, I was so delighted. I am so glad you are feeling better. We have the same anniversary date and as of 10 months today I have lost 81 pounds. I am happy. You though, are amazing to be down 137 pounds. You go girlfriend. I am so glad your pain is gone and that you didn't have to be hospitalized. Praise God! Kim M.
Dear Joan,
I too am so glad that you are better. I hope that you won't have any more problems with your little pouch. Your enthusiasm is what influenced me to join in with this April message board. Everyone here has been so friendly. I have not seen one negative comment here which keeps me coming back. I enjoy the comradary and support offered by everyone, each of whom are at the same stage in this journey as myself.
Thankyou all.

To each of you dear Ladies...this is what I was talking about....you all responded with love and caring and you truly inspire me to be more and with His grace and strength we all can be more than we think. When we give of ourselves we show the world that love is still there...everything doesn't have to be about hate and anger and who did this or that but what can I do to make a difference in the life of someone else. It isn't about ME....I truly believe that when I live for the God I love I will love the way He loves. I pray I can always do that in His strength and ability.
May the Lord help each of us to become what He planned for us to be...keep on Friends!!
InHim,
Joan M
