Woo hoo!!! congratulations to you on your endeavor!
keep us posted as to how you are doing.... 
Wow, I didn't know they did many open's anymore so I feel more at home because that's what I had so hello "open" sister! I'd love to have you here as your OH home. You live in a place that I dream of where I can have that many animals. Of course if I had a place where I could have that many I'd probably fill that up too! You soud like a wonderful giving lady and we are glad you landed here. I see JEllen has already jumped in (as she so often does) she is AWESOME! So welcome, welcome, welcome!!
hugs, Y

Yvonne is over 9 years out from her surgery, and I have passed my 1st year.... So I guess that makes me a "Toddler" now...at 14 months lol
Congrats on your surgery!
Daily Inspiration for September 17, 2010
White-knuckle it if you have to.
Making healthy choices just isn't going to be easy all the time. Some days you will find yourself eating the broccoli; other days you will be craving the chocolate. On the days when food thoughts are pushing you in the wrong direction, consider white-knuckling it through the craving.
When you white-knuckle your way through something, it's uncomfortable. But, you can handle some discomfort, right? And while white-knuckling it is not the preferred method for long-term recovery, it is a vital tool to pull you through when you need it.
Action for the day: If you find yourself drawn to an unhealthy food or to overeating, pull out the tool of white-knuckling. It can get you through.

I have loved reading the intros, it will take me several sessions to read them all but I'll get there.
I am 6 months out from my RNY surgery (open). I'm doing really well and am so pleased with my decision to reach for hope instead of dwelling in despair!
I am looking for an OH Home. My regular board has kind of fizzled and I really miss the friendship there, I need it.
I am a married lady (22 years) have three fantastic children (a sophomore in college, boy; a senior in HS, boy; and an 8th grader, girl). I live on a small farm in rural Missouri, where we host 6 dogs, 2 cows, numerous cats and a variety of animals that call our place home from time to time. Oh, and a mother in law.
I work 4 days a week at my chuch in the office, I love to teach and lead groups. My hubby and I have led mission trips for 10+ years.
Looking forward to getting to know you all!
Maybe you will get on one of those balloons one day.......:-) I will not put any thing pass you!! I love the ballon also on my ticker. When I changed the background the balloon shows up better!!
