dreamgirl119  - Eugenia McCaskill .
She has been very inspiring to others and is true success in her WLS journey. 

To read her story to go to WWW.vawlsevents.com 

Each month I feature someone from OH who is inspiring to others , a person who helps others here on OH with their need for encouragement. I chose people who live the life and pursue their journey as a matter of life of death. As we all know surgery is no joke , and it is harder than any diet ever tested.  
If you know someone , or if you feel your story could touch others , please feel free to email me here .

Currently I have already chosen for March , so I will be needing someone for the months forward.
It does not matter what surgery type you have had .. I just want to share your success with the world.

Take time today to reach out to dreamgirl119 and congratulate her on a job well done .

Lisa ,
Sorry I have been MIA .. I have had spinal fusion surgery and just now able to get back to the group.
I have Addisons disease. This makes my joints hurt , so I know what you are talking about.
I sometimes have to push through the back pain and just do it . I have learned how to do weight baring exercises with weights. This has helped me so much. I also walk . But here lately we have had so much snow it is impossible.

I would as suggested earlier .. get out to the mall . Walk as much as you can with out hurting yourself.
Exercise is so critical in our maintenance . And in our actual weight loss .
Sending you gentle hugs and love .
If you need to talk .. I am here .

Why so long??  My evaluation took about 3-4 hours...take about BORING!

Oh, what fantastic news!!!!!!!!!!  jan

Sheesh, my psych evaluation has taken a month so far.  You'd think they were testing to see if I was ready to be an astronaut or something.  Was anyone else's experience so protracted?
