WOW Moment

I had a really good day yesterday. And wanted to share it with all my extended family here on the MO board. I went and weigh yesterday and I have lost another 10 lbs. YIPPIE Makes this liquid diet seem more worth it. PLUS at the begining of my dieting I measured my yucky body. lol Well I remeasured yesterday and so far I have lost 28 inches!!! I dont see it in some places but I do in other. I am so excited I was calling everyone I know. Hubby said he was scared to take me to Wal Mart for fear I would accost someone there and tell them all about what I had lost. lol But he was just kidding. He is as excited if not more about it as I am. Thanks to all of you for your support that you have shown me!!!! I love you all Melissa

Oh Melissa what a great wow moment. Liquid diets are hard but they do work. I am so proud of you. Hang in there. Connie

Connie Thank you sweetie. I feel so bad becuase I havent wrote you in awhile to see how you are doing. And here you are giving me propts. How are you doing?? Please feel free to drop me a email when you get the chance. Big Huggs Melissa

yeh Melissa!!!! Why does your doc have you on liquids so long???? just curious. At any rate congrats on the loss. Colette

Colette I believe it is to drop a good amount of weight before my surgery. Altho I am hoping it wont be for long. lol I am hanging in there. But TRUST ME it is just by the grace of GOD that I get thro a day. Thanks You Melissa

You are SO awesome!!!!! Wayne

Wayne Thats just because I have great leaders to follow in their foot steps!!! Thanks your words mean alot to me!!! Melissa

Melissa, Way to go!! You have every right to be proud. I think you should tell everybody who will listen about your wonderful success. It is just the beginning. I'm guessing Dr. Scott has you on the liquid diet so your surgery can be done lap. Is that right? I know at least three other patients of Dr. Scott who had to do the liquid diet first. One of them lost 150 lb. before her surgery. The last time I heard from her she was doing really well. Keep up the great work. This is the first of many, many wow moments for you. Linda

Linda Thank you lol I was just kidding about DH actually. I am looking foward to tell my future children. The mountain I climbed just for them. I have always loved kids and knew that one day I would have a house full of them. Then I got married and the Dr.'s have told me that until I lose weight. The dream of children was gonna be just that a DREAM. So for the longest time I figured that if it was ment to be it would happen Lord willing. Then one day after some real soul searching. I came to figure out that there is no amount or kind of food in this entire world. That is more importain to me to choose it over having a chance for children. So everytime I think it is too much for me to do. I ask for God's help because I know he wants me healthy. And that is where my strength comes from. I think another reason Dr. Scott put me on a liquid diet. Was that way it would give me a weight loss boost. You mentioned you know someone who lost 150 lbs before surgery. Was it from the liquid diet?? If so how long did they have to be on it?? Thanks for the encourgeing word you gave to me and to everyone else that you have touched here on the MO board!!! God Bless You Melissa

Melissa, I knew you could do it. Hats off to you! I know it also helps having the fantastic Dr. you have. Take care and great work~ Marla 335/270/138
