One year for me!
Hello my OK forum buds!
I had my one year surgiversary yesterday. I waited and waited for a whole year to post and then let the day get by me without posting!
I updated my blog if you want to read it!
I just want to say thank you all for being here and helping me along the way. I couldn't have done it without all my loving OK forum buds!
I just skimmed over the message board but I will be back. It seems like some of us have strayed and lost track. If you are doing that then you are at the right place. I can come on here and post that I'm not doing what I'm supposed to do and be sad because I'm not losing or not feeling well. But Its up to each of us to make sure we are doing what we need to do. We all chose to have surgery. We knew that no matter what everyone said it WASNT the easy way out. We have to take care of ourselves and do what we need to do to SURVIVE! We still BATTLE with our eating addictions and we still have obsticles to overcome!
I'm going to be posting more because I need my OH buds to help keep me on track too! Remember that this is the best place for you to be if you are needing support. I tell everyone to use this website. Use it and take total advantage of it. Whe you see your thoughts on the screen and put them out there for everyone to disect and help you it takes so much of the pressure off of yourself. Then there are those moments when you get to pay it forward. Help someone who is going through what so many of us have been through. Answer those questions and ease some fears. So many have helped me. Even when you don't realize it...Just posting that you are human and you have issues makes it REAL makes it seem like hey, they are doing this and so can I. Before my surgery I looked at the before and after pictures like CRAZY. I was addicted to them. I never thought I would be an after! But I am living proof anyone can be an AFTER! I have some pics on my profile too! I love being an AFTER. But in reality I'm still a "during"! I will forever be a "during" because my battle isn't over and it never will be. I will be a struggler for the rest of my life. But I can do it with a little help from my buds!
OK...I have rambled! You all have a WONDERFUL DAY!
Hugs
Kim J!

Wow, Kim...it's been a whole year!! I remember you being so afraid of the journey and now look at you. I've struggled the past few months myself. I have NOT gained any weight back but am pretty much staying right where I have been for a little while. I have let personal struggles and situations get in my way. I guess that's called life. I thought my world was going to come tumbling down a few months ago with issues concerning my Mom...I had to put her in a nursing home. My daughter and a difficult pregnancy...everything went fine and we have a beautiful grandaughter now almost 4 months old. My husband was diagnosed with prostate cancer...they did the davinci robotic surgery on him and are fairly certain it has all been removed. We'll have another test in about a week and are anxious to see those results!! My sister is fighting a battle with cancer in her liver!! She is not only my sister but my best friend and has been my "cheerleader" thoughout my journey. Now, I am her "cheerleader" and encourager. I pray that the Lord will allow another miracle in my family in her.
With all that said, life does go on and we have choices to make each and every day. The only one who has control over what goes in our mouths or the activities we choose to participate in is me!!! I also love being an AFTER and for sure plan to stay there. I'm not at goal but I WILL get there this year. I also hope to have a TT sometime in 2010. Hang in there Kim you have done an awesome job!!
Hugs

This is the ride of my life.....what an amazing tool I now have!!!
Debbie,
It sounds like you have had a lot of stress and tough situations. I'm so sorry to hear of everything you are going through. I pray that your husbands tests come back free and clear and your sister recovers from her cancer also. I'm sure being her cheerleader is easy when its someone you are so close to. A Bittersweet easy....I will keep you and your family in my prayers for sure. And let me congratulate you on your new Grandaughter. I know you must be so happy to have her. I hope she lives close so you can see her lots. I also feel for you having to put your mom in a nursing home. I had to put my grandmother in one a few years ago. Although at the time I felt like it was the worst thing I could have done to her...in the end it ended up being better for her and everyone else. My mom got a job there and is working and taking care of herself for the first time in her life. At 60 she is finally raised. She is awesome at her job and its all because she went to work there to be close to my grandma. My grandma is in Heaven today looking down and I know she is so proud of my mom. I sure am.
You were one of my OH buds that helped me so much! If there is anything I can do for you...a phone call... an e-mail...you name it...Im here!
Hugs
