Update

Hello all..I hope all is well with everyone.  I am now officially since May 20, 2009 105 pounds lighter than I was.  Life is different for sure...the great...I can walk again...just today I walked the whole length of our 4 acre pasture and back which if you knew me that is a great feat considering I am still very overweight.  The good is that I am able to move around better...touch my toes and do all those wonderful things...the bad is that I don't eat...there are maybe two things that I can stomach and neither of them are things I am supposed to have.  Everything else makes me sick or throw up.  I don't get all my water in either and I have tried so many different things.  Another bad is that I was hoping this would help me with some of my depression issues but sadly I don't feel it has yet ..at least not all the way.  My clothes are loose which is a big plus and hopefully one day I will be able to buy some new ones.  Anyway, just wanted to check in and remind those of you who haven't had the surgery of the good and the bad....because it's a very difficult journey at least for me but in the end there is more good than bad...especially when I work out a way to eat again.

Hi Sherrie, thanks for sharing your story. That is great you are able to move around better. I will be praying for you regarding the depression, and unable to eat. That has to make it harder on you.  Take Care and keep us posted.

Thank you so much!  I see you are not far out yourself....my surgery was on July 13 so I am not too far out myself.  I hope things are going well for you.  It's not easy and anyone who says it is ...welll, they are not right lol  Take care and thanks again!
