Katie... You are doing so well! I am so proud of you!  How wonderful that both you & your hubby are taking active steps on becoming healthy!  In the long run it will benefit those beautiful little girls....

Eventually, you will be able to get them off most of the sugary stuff.. that just takes time. Gradually, gradually.

Congrats to your entire family!!!

muah!

Hey Y,
Thanks for sharing your videos.  I jus****ched every one of them, great job!  I was really touched about the rescue dog.  That is totally awesome.  I am a huge pet lover.  My dog Phoebe is like my child, you will even see her pics on my profile.  She is part of us and it is a lifetime commitment.  You did an awesome thing and I just wanted to give you kudos!

Great videos though, I really enjoyed them.  Too bad about Oprah, you would be an awesome person to get up there and represent us and tell our story.  You are a real inspiration and I can tell you are as beautiful on the inside as you are on the outside.  You look so young and vibrant and 'i say again that you are truly an inspiration to all of us.  Maybe we need to start a facebook group "get Yvonne on Oprah"!

I really took to heart what you said above.  I guess I am the same kind of person who says I just want to be healthy, but I will not lie, I am really looking forward to be able to shop at "regular" stores and wear clothes that fit my personality.  For so long I have been stuck with little selection in the big and tall shops.  I always felt like they don't think overweight people (at least men) want to look good.  I really want to feel normal for one time in my life.  I really do want to not be the fattest guy in the room.  That may sound selfish, but it is something I really look forward to. 

And like your video says, people think we took the "easy way out".  I would like some of those people to live in our shoes for a week and see just how "easy" this is.  I think they would have a change of heart real quick!

But thank you again for everything, I am really enjoying speaking with you.  And I totally agree there is too much negativity on some of the forums.  Early out, I did get into it with some Ds people, and I just didn't understand why they felt they had to belittle us and act as if we are lesser people because of the surgery we chose.  I think we all are in the same boat and we all are here for the same reason and we all just need to get along and be supportive of each other.  I have actually made peace with most of them, I just think there was one woman, who I will not name, that just spread her negativity and it was becoming infectious.  I don't agree with how she goes about things, but I have tried to let it go because there is no since arguing with someone like that, because you will not change their opinion no matter how hard you try.  I have no problem getting info out there about the DS, because quite frankly I had no idea what a DS was when I came here and I think it is a great thing and a wonderful choice for many people, but I do not think it is right for everyone and all surgeries have their pro's and cons.  I don't think starting a "surgery war" is good for anyone, but that is just my opinion.

Oh well, enough about that.  Thank you for everything you are doing.  there are people here *****ally appreciate it.

Not sure which email program you use.  See if you can right click on the attachment and choose "save as" and then save it to a place that you can find it.  WOOO HOOOOOOOOO.  If that doesn't work, you can email them to me and I'll do it for you.
