I can't wait until monday so I can taste some eggs or anything or than soup!!! I have lost 2 more pounds.  I am feeling better each day and I can't thank GOD enough for my new beginning.

It is so amazing to me to watch the pounds shed off me. I don't care if it's two pounds a week as long as I am losing I am happy!!! I feel really good about myself right now. I will take some pics this weekend and upload them to the site.

Since my surgery,  my blood sugars and blood pressure has been normal.  I am so happy about that.  God is good all the time..

Hello Everyone,

I would like to say thanks to all of you that supported me, it meant more than you all could ever know. I want to say that I am so happy and blessed that I had the opportunity to have the RNY surgery, it has changed my life for the better.

A little bit about the day of surgery, I had alot of support there with me at the hospital. My daughter, my sister, my angel Juanita (she is the best!! God place people in your life for many different reasons and I am so happy I met her), my best friend, and my other best friend/ God sister.  My angel Juanita was at the right place at the right time. You all know my sister and best friend had concerns about me having the surgery, and when they meet Juanita they looked at her and was like "wow" you don't look sick! LOL.. They were so amazed at how good she looked. She actually help clear up some of their fears and for that I am grateful.

Dr. Cahill reported to my family that I tolerated the surgery very will and that I did what I was suppose to do as far as the pre-op was concerned. My liver looked very good I had to stay in the hospital a extra day because I had a fever but other than that everything went well. I walked the floors several times a day and that helped with the gas pains. I met another lady that had the surgery the same day as me and we walked together on my last day there.

OMG!! NO ONE told me how painful the eye(meaning the open wound) lol would hurt.... That sucker hurted like hell. My 1st week home I could hardly do anything for myself.  I am so grateful with for my 12 yr old daughter who took very good care of me. She cooked for me, bath me, got up with me in the late night hours without blinking a eye.

I am 18 pounds lighter. I lost 16 pds on the pre-op diet and gain 13 of them back during my hospital stay. People are telling me I look nice and they can see the difference and I am also starting to notice the new thinner me.

I am struggling with getting in my protein (I said struggling but I am doing it) I would like to know how you all got in 64 grams of supplemental protein during the 11-28 day part? Next week I will start on soft regular food and I cant wait!!  I am so sick of broth, cream soups and most of all Jello!! lol..

I can honestly say that if I had to do it all over again, I would do it again.. God has given me a 2nd chance for a healthier life and I am going to live it to the fullest!!!

I am headed out the door on my way to the hospital!! Wish me well....................... see you all on the loser side!!!!!

I  feel like a kid the night before xmas, too geeked about tomorrow.

I went to the altar this morning and my pastor prayed over me and annointed me. I gave my testimony on how I am so ready for tomorrow and I am not scared nor nervous at all.  I am getting sleepy so now I need to go take my shower and use the surgery cloths they gave me.

I will try to blog before I leave in the morning.. Talk to you all soon, see you on the losers side.

Hello my OH Family,

I am preparing for my big day on Monday. I don't know if I updated and informed you all that my bestfriend will be there the day of my surgery. My sister is soo frighten but she will be ok once she see how healthier I am from having this surgery. I am shocked that I am not nervous or scared yet. I guess it's because I know that God has given me his stamp of approval on this therefore, everything is all good!! Until later..

I can't believe that in three days I will be in the hospital having the surgery that will give me a new lease on my life. I was 233 when I saw my PCP last, I was 227 when I when I had my last consult and when I started my pre-op diet, today I weighed in at 219 so I have lost a total of 14 pounds.

I feel like I am having a recurrent dream..;;; Come on Monday!!!

I am drinking Isopure and it's not bad tasting. Today I did feel sick to my stomach and a little shaky.. Hopefully, tomorrow will be a better day for me.

The clock continues to tick. Tomorrow I start my pre-op protein diet. I can't wait until sunday get's here!!

I went to church this morning and got my shout on!!!  I swear to GOD, my pastor was speaking the work today!! He was telling my story without knowing it. He talked about not telling everybody your dreams and I can relate to that one.  Next sunday I will go before the alter for prayer and annointment. I will go into surgery with a clear mind and soul.

God has placed so angels in my life right when I needed some the most.

OH family 2/23/09 will be my RE-BIRTH!! Happy RE-BIRTH to me..... Tomorrow I will take a pre-op diet picture and then takes some pictures the day of surgery.

Until next time Family, I will chat with you all later..
