I am so excited, nervous, anxious, emotional and much more! After going back and forth with the surgeon's office and insurance company, I received my call this afternoon. I am set for tomorrow. 5:30 a.m. is my check in time. I will be on my way to a healthy, new me. I can't wait, I just want to scream from the top of a mountain! lol! No mountain where I live in Philly. ha ha ha! Glad I have this place to share my joy. It has been a loooooong journey getting to this point and I will make it worth my while. Nothing about this has been easy but I'm a champ. I can do this!!! God is with me 100%!

10/13/2012 update

I am feeling better everyday. I am amazed at how strong I feel. I guess my tough workouts before surgery did help. I must say the second and third day whipped my butt. I refused to give in. I did my breathing exercises and got up on my own to the bathroom and even walked around with my sister. This is not the easy way out like some people say, nothing about this has been easy for me. It's easier to quit than to keep your eye on the prize. Thank you for all your prayers. I will keep you in mine. Take care and remember with God, everything is possible.

Just got to my home and was excited to be able to look you guys up on a big screen =) It is so cool there are so many people on here ... I was sleeved on October 9th ....last surgery of the day man was I nervous ...good thing the admitting department lady started giving me trouble about the amount they were going to collect to admit me ! Hearing NO in my mind helped me get that xtra bit of courage and get in there on that table !!! My biggest discomforts was the naseua ...I joked later who would of know a big ol' 300 pound girl was so so sensitive !!!! I see that girly elephant trying to poke her tow in the Water =)

SO the Nasea & then allergic reaction to Coedine !! ( OMG ! ) were my biggest battles I say even more so than the pain ...which I can feel going away more and more .....

I just freaked out b4 i went on table I weighed 281.5 and today , Sunday I weigh 268!!!that is insane to me !

well just came home to my dirty dirty house ...oh man is it depressing ! after I left hospital I went to stay at my mom's so the kiddos couldnt jump all over me ....but was it hard to come home from Mommy's house tonight! UGH ! FIre the maid who was here =)

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
