    Thank you for the encouragement. My surgery is March 4th and I am eating all the wrong foods because I do not think I will ever have them again.

    Hi Chrissy,

    thank you for your encouraging words. I am still working on getting all the excess fluids out. I will keep it up and do everything I can so I finally don't have to live in pain and that I can go on and live my life. Sheri

    Hi Chrissy. I keep thinking I should be nervous or have some feeling of fear or dread but right now I don't . I should probably update my will just in case (I'm worth a lot of money if I pop my cloggs lol) but I think I'm quite looking forward to it it maybe that although this IS life saving surgery when we look at the big picture because I'm not ill & I'm choosing this (&paying good money for it) I feel at peace . Bloody hope everything goes well or ill look a proper dumbo!

    Other than my arthritis I'm fit & healthy. No heart or breathing problems no high BP so I'm in the best shape I can be to do this at my lightest I was about 160lbs & my heaviest I was about 3-5 -4lbs I weight about 260 at present & if I can get back to 160 I will be ecstatic!

    I think I'm more worried about the Dentist on Wednesday!

    I will keep everyone updated & hopefully raise a smile or 2 along the way

    I've also been considering a career change, maybe training to be a nutritionist & specialise in WSL patients? I will at least understand what people go through

12 Days Later

by bookwrmmom on 02-27-2014 at 11:03 AM
I don't even know where to start...... 12 days ago when my world fell apart I didn't even know how I was going to get through the next few minutes let alone hours and days. But here I am 12 days later and I am still making it, sometimes better then others.
For those of you who haven't read my previous blog...the love of my life, my husband of 15 years, the man I vowed to spend the rest of my life with decided he didn't want to be married anymore. No warning, no REAL reason other than to say

Life

by bookwrmmom on 02-19-2014 at 02:37 PM
So this week I am learning some painful life lessons. The biggest one is not to forget who YOU are as a person. For the past 22 years I have simply been someone's wife or mom. I have wrapped my entire world around my husband and children to the point that when they are gone I am a bit lost. I mean I keep busy and do things, but tend to be lonely. I still have a 17yr old at home, but she goes and does her activities and I sure don't want to make her a prisoner because I want company. Honestly a lot

A Year & A Half Later...

by bookwrmmom on 01-07-2014 at 09:52 AM
So here I am a whole year and a 1/2 out......still loving & thankful for my sleeve! I made it through the holidays with a minimal amount of a gain, between 3-4 pounds. Last year was the 1st year ever that I had not gained, but this year I have a bit of work to do.
The good news is that with my sleeve I have learned that it is much harder to gain....but I can & will if not careful. I have also learned that I will loose it quickly too, if I get back to the basics. I am struggling a

His turn :)

by bookwrmmom on 08-27-2013 at 04:08 PM
So I am sitting in the OR waiting room right now as my hubby is having his sleeve surgery. I must say I am much more anxious for him than I was for myself. I guess I now know how he felt last year waiting while mine was being done. I am no less confident in his choice than I was in mine, just worried because he is my ❤ and my world.
Please keep us in your prayers!

It's just odd......

by bookwrmmom on 08-24-2013 at 07:13 AM
So one of the things I have noticed since becoming an averaged sized person is this: I can now feel the odd lumps and bumps under my skin. Now I am sure this is quite normal, and nothing mysterious or bad. The thing is I have been overweight more years of my life than not. In the years that I haven't I was young or not thin enough to notice....or care. Now that I am older (43) I notice these things. I guess I am just so much more aware of my body now, and wish I would have been this aware when
