Topic: RE: Hello
Dee thanks so much for caring and the kind words
I am recovering physically still hurts stand in line but as far as mood swings from the surgical menopause is very hard. I find my self no patience and can cry with out cause so not me . I just hate being so emotional and not having hormone replacement thepry just sucks. I can just ***** slap people .. My poor hubby not sure how to handle me. I am not having any hot flahses thank goodness but I who knows what tommrrow will bring. it is a real challange and sometimes I feel so alone and scared. Then I see my sisters and chemo ravaged bodies and I know I am doing the right thing. I am so scared about the masectomy ahead and the scaring and losing the girls is just over whelming but yesterday I leaned that breast cancer has struck another family member and this time was a 29 year old male. I am doing the right thing just so hard to accept at times. But I am more scared of cancer then anything else
OK now weight well i am 168 this am but am making better food choices and got off drinking vanillan bean frappachino at starbucks . that drink had 600 calories so now I am drinking cinnamin stick herbal tea with little of honey.. and seems to be a good alternative. I just lost the taste for really sugary stuff which seems odd but maybe has to do with lack of hormones I dont even want chocolate.
Shar I hope u are recovering. I sure miss everyone and old times here but soon it will be 3 years.. and I will never go back to being 300 lbs
Rhonda how ru doing? Cyndi where have u been? others?

Sorry I haven't been around I honestly got addictd to farmville and forgot all about my other sites.
Well I leave sunday for an all inclusive trip to the Marlboro Ranch. I super excited this will be the first time me and lee have ever been anywhere without the kids in 10 years! We have never been gone this long away from them either. we leave sunday and come home wed night.
Lisa
I am so glad you are recovering I knew you were having surgery I just didn't know when . I am so sorry I didn't get to call and check on you.
Shar
I hope you feel better from your fall real soon hugs to you guys!
I started another dare I say Diet Well it is more re thinking my eating habits and fueling my body. I am now eating 5 meals a day 3 hours apart. Smaller meals made up of better quality food. I did really well this week have not weighed my self but my stomach feel better and way less gross gas. I hope this will help me get back on track. I got the insanity videos was too scared to strat yet. I was afraid if I changed my diet and started exercising at one I would feel defeted and quit. I will start the exercise part next week when I am back for vacation. right now I am focusing on the eating and I truly like it! The food is yummy I don't feel deprived and as long as I pack my food and plan my meals I am ok with out the junk.
Busy month ahead hope 8th birthday is the 29 I can't belive my baby is going to be 8!
Love you guys have agreat week

Topic: Sunday check for March 7
Hi everyone.. I am doing amazing this week. I am feeling pretty good from the effects of surgery. I did climbed up to 176 ugh and was ashamed to get on scale but I am now down to 167 this am.. yeah!!!!!
I may have not gotten to 149 my original goat weight but i got to a place where all my labs are normal and classifed excellent health and what has come to clear to me is my options for doing something about getting cancer is what has count rather what the scale says. If i was 300 lbs and facing issues of having a life saving surgery or getting cancer my options would have been grave ot look. I tell docs that I am a weight loss pt and alot just say wow i cannot beleive u were ever fat. My new gf who is brca positive which i have spend much time with was staring at me and she says I cannot beleive u were 300 lbs. She says her son matt calls me Barbie and says mom she look hot for being over 50 and cannot beleive I am that old.and she told him I am over 50 lol Makes me feel so good and young again. I guess being 51 does mean I am cannot look great when u r older I think I look better now then when I was 40 .I had this amazing weekend before my surgery with my hubby. I was just losing it, feeling I was some how gonna wake up like a real old woman on kaiser commerciial
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOcIWo6Hdfg cute commercial but I think we dont have to be quite like them lol .. I want to be a sexy old woman LOL not just a old woman.
My hubby got me hair extensions for my thining hair and some mineals make up. I think self imgaine is how the world first imprssions of you and i decided i want them to see me as a confident woman not a fat woman. I t amazes me how much people treat u being thin vs being fat
So hows is everyone doing? Any good news /sad newss minutes?
Hugs to everyone.. and thanks for reading

Welcome back, Lisa. I know I haven;t returned your phone call, but I will. i had another fall amd am suffering with severe bruising allover and my back is totally messed up. As soon as I feel a bit better I will call you.
I am doing OK, I am up from my loweest weight, about 6 pounds. I was up about 8 pounds. It is a constant struggle and I guess it will be forever. I definitely feel my pouch is almost back to normal size. However, our 3rd year anniversary is coming up and I am so happy that we are still together.. I know there are lurkers out there, I just wish they'd come bafck and say hi to us. I miss all the oldies.
Have a good week, Nd feel better. Love ya
Shar

Hey Lisa,
Glad to hear you are doing well! I hate that you have had to make these decisions and have these surgeries but the alternative is not so good! Hope you continue to progress!! I am staying busy with the grandbaby and going back to Dallas next week to stay with my brother for a week. Still no idea when they will start Chemo. MD Anderson i ssuppose to let us know asap. My weight is slightly up this week. I amd actually up to 164. Don;t know why but I am stepping up the exercise and water, making sure I get my protein and no snacking.
Please keep us updated! I will keep you guys in my prayers!

Hey everyone wow what month Feb was and well I had surgery feb 22 to remove all my female body part to avoid cancer after being test potitive s for brca 2 gene. I am doing pretty well. I went into surgery weightng 174 and came out 184 3 days later and i have been peeing like a race horse and now weigh 170 this am. I am actually in a good place.

Shar, I hope you are doing well. Hi everyone - I am still alive and unfortunately do not visit frequently enough.
Topic: RE: Sunday Check In
Good Morning Shar!!
I am up 2 pounds this week.........I have been grazing for 2 weeks. I think it is just nervous reaction-it is definately not hunger!! Probably attributed to my brother and his issues. Speaking of~ I was in Dallas with him at rehab last week and he made GREAT improvements! He goes back to MD Anderson this week for a baseline before starting chemo. He is able to semi walk on his own again and his wittyness is coming back. My MIL made him a coconut pie and he absolutely loved it! I bought him snacks and lots of fruit....thats why he gained a couple of pounds while I was there!! My sister & I shaved & trimmed his beard and gave him a pedicure and manicure which was despirately needed! He is so optimistic! He actually started conversations and told short stories which was better than expected. Please continue to keep him in your prayers, he starts chemo in a week or so.
As far as Hubby........his revision is GREAT! He has lost about 35 lbs in 7 weeks and feels really good. He still overeats a little but we all had to learn!!
Well.........as we all approach our 3 year mark, let's all commit to having bloodwork done and a followup with Dr. We need to all be accountable to each other and encourage one another! 3 years ago we wanted this surgery so bad we would do ANYTHING!!!!!!! Well we got it, and now we need to follow thru with our orginal commitment! I never want to forget where I come from! If you have not made an appointment to have your bloodwork done, please do so this week so you don;t procrastionate! (Preaching to myself).
Hope everyone has a good week!
