Good morning from freezing Chicago.
I am running off to work but I am able to take a minute to do this. I know I have been missing a few weeks here and there and I promisde to be more diligent about this posting.
I am OK...up just a few pounds but I know I will quickly get rid of them. My capacity for food seems to be enormous. I know it's not as big as before surgery but it's a helluva lot more since surgery. I just need to fill my ouch with good things instead of bad.
I hope everyone is OK. Lisa..I think about you every day and pray for you and your family. Dee,it's so good to have you back again. Will you be going to Dr. F for your 3rd year visit? If so, let's make it on the same date so we can meet up again. Cindy.......I am thrilled you are feeling better.
I love all of you and want you to know how much each and every one of you have helped me throughout our ordeal
Have a good week

I wish I could shine a light on the end of that but things aren't that well for me either. I just keep trying to tell myself that things will get better. Weight wise I am holding on to 135 but right now its not that big a deal. My drinking is getting out of control but I keep tring to stop. This sight keepd me from falling over the edge I think but I don't like this place I'm in. You're going through so much it makes my problems seem trivial. You've been through so much, all I can do is prey for you and your familyl. I think about you often and hope that it all works out in the end.

I am having a diffacult time in my life not sure how strong I can be but I am trying to not stress out ,But I think I am way pass that and heading for insaneville. I am at 171 which I am glad I have not gained to 175.was in dec I had my colonosocopy which was a night mare but I came out cancer free My oophrectomy /hysterectomy is scheduled for Feb 22 proving no relatives pass away. Have two sick relatives hubbies side right now and both not expected to live much longer.I am not as strong as people think. My sister had a tornado hit her beach house the odds in calif hmmm
I hope to hear from everyone and how u guys are coping with up and downs of life weight loss issues and lifr issues. I sometimes just want to just scream and hope things would get better but seems so much on my plate I cannot breathe at times.. I feel like I am drowning and in great depression. I just need to escape this but as soon as I do someone would have a catastropic event
I just need ME TIME.. I cant seem to do that when everyone around me is falling apart UGH!!! My b day is friday and I just hope for a day gift nothing goes wrong. I am having hard time dealing with the fact I carry the cancer gene and having to have a prophaylactic hysterectomy and masectomy is scarrying me but my odds of cancer are so great 97% I may not really given much choice. I have worked hard to get a body the way I like it and I am healthy but yet I am facing major surgeries to keep me healthy I posted my sisters pic of them how brave they are they are my hero here so I feel bad losing it and look what they must endure chemo etc.. I feel so ashamed I am not as stromg as they are..
I cant even afford therpy. But I so look forward to hearing from everyone each week and wonder where life is taking them and the journey they are on. I gain strength from your trails and think if u can do it I can.
I do think of you guys often
Hugs and love

Hello A team!
Well I weighed myself today and it said 228 that is the same for 2 weeks so I will take it. I am needing to lose 50 pounds quickly ugggg. I got a call from My surgeons office this week wanting to know how I am because I have not checked in almost 2 years. I told them i would be there after tax return for my visit. They want me to have my blood work done before I go so he see. They also asked where my weight is right now I said 230. I didn't want to go unless I lost the weight . I don't want Dr F to be disappointed. I love him he saved my life and I couldn't lose all the weight. I need to exercise. I know this I have slacked and I haven't been taking my vitamins. I am a mess and I guess the best way to get back on tract is too see my Dr
How is everyone? Lets check in! If I can be brutally honest so can you!!!

Hubby doing really good! Lost about 27lbs in little over 2 weeks. getting around great and already semi back at work. Insurance did not pay for the revision well, sorda not! For 2 full years he complained to the VA about throwing up almost everyday....just ole yellow bile! They did so many test and sent him to none less than 15 doctors. Finally they decided that for some reason his stomach had 2 openings.....go figure??? It was actually a staple line opening. anyway, none of the Dr's recogonized it as staple line opening. They decided he needed a revision and gallbladder taken out. He tried to go to Mississippi but they would not accept him because they did not do the orginal surgery 32 years ago. Finally, Little ROck VA opted to outsource his surgery to whatever hospital and Dr of his choice.The reason for this is because they did not have a surgeon at any of the Va's that was a specialist in this field! After having 2 years to research this, we opted to let my Dr do the revision! So with all that said, the surgery actually cost us a total of $100.00. Yep I feel a huge blessing!
