Relay For Life



Recommended Posts

i know that some may find it inappropriate for me to post this here, however, i think that regardless of where the contributions come from, its all for a GREAT purpose!

i'm walking in the bay area RELAY FOR LIFE this weekend from 7pm on Friday until 8am Saturday morning. All donations benefit the American Cancer Society.

I have met and exceeded the "suggested" personal walker goal of $100, however, my Team (Second Baptist - Highlands) has not met our goal of $1000. We're a small but growing church located in a small but growing town.

if you would like to make an online donation please follow the below link to my site. thank you and i apologize in advanced to anyone who may find this thread inappropriate bc i'm asking for monetary donations. IT IS FOR A GREAT CANCER FIGHTING CAUSE, and that is the only reason that I decided to post it here.

xoxo, Christie

I want to wish you lots of great luck!! We are having our own Relay in May and I'll be donating to that.

I was our team's captain (gave that up last year) for 7 years and our team has won 1st place for 5 of the last 8. My team is a church team too! We're hoping to raise enough to break the $100,000 mark for the total giving of all the years we've been involved. What amazes me is that we aren't a large church! In fact our Relay event is one of the highest raising events of our (small) size in California.

I cry every year and I always tell myself I won't! Every year the event hits home for me in a different way. I've never had cancer but one of my good friends is in treatment now. She's doing okay now but we were afraid we were going to lose her last month. We still could but the tests are coming back positive. We'll take what we can.

Many, many blessings on your event. I hope it is the most successful one you've ever had!!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
