    The potato head was my father's before he died. I don't have the heart to get rid of him!

    Everything is going dandy so far. Nausea was horrendous the first few days after surgery, but I never actually threw up. I hate throwing up, and kept it down at all costs. My appetite is bigger already than it was before. Two ounces of shake don't kill me, and I was able to drink 4 ounces of gatorade and a bit of chicken brother without hating myself last night. Hoping my stomach isn't stretching out too quickly.

    Congrats on your upcoming surgery though! I already feel loads better about myself, mentally and physically.

    Hi, thanks for the friend ad. I see you're going into Kings shortly. I really wish you all the very best. Be prepared for some strong feelings after you've had surgery. I really regretted it for almost 2 weeks afterwards but now I am so pleased I had it done and I've lost 5 stone in 3 months!! You have to be prepared to put in the work though, which I didn't realise - you have to diet for life. Maybe I was just a bit stupid not to realise that, but it is so worth it. I recovered pretty quickly too. The nurses at Kings are so lovely. Do you live near there? I had to come up from Ashford in Kent. What date is your surgery? x

    I saw your surgery change and got excited...thought you might have been going to Mexico. My date is the 7th and if you were going there we would have been able to meet, but see that you're from the UK. My mum was British...born in Oxford, England and raised in London.
    TTFN,
    Jen

happy and sad times

by highspirit on 06-09-2014 at 05:16 AM
Since March I've lost my grandma and even sadder my mother , devastated isn't even the word . My mum only came down to visit for my grandma funeral , became ill and was admitted to hospital on 10 April . By the 30 , she had passed away . Not from cancer but he's kidneys had failed . She had swollen to twice her normal size and because of the underlying cancerous condition basically they wouldn't give her dialysis or send her to intensive care . Can't believe she's gone . Only consolation

A year has passed :) best thing I did

by highspirit on 12-22-2013 at 09:11 PM
A year ago I was unhappy , early ashamed , hiding away , didn't want anyone to see me for fear of ridicule .Today I am in a better place mentally , I'm learning to see myself differently . I still have issues but my self esteem has improved .

Amazing Grace

by highspirit on 09-09-2013 at 12:19 PM
I just feel so thankful , so happy , so attractive . GOD is great ,that's all I know for sure !!!! I look in the mirror and cry happy tears . YES I have loose skin , I am not perfect but I am happy ,that means the world to me . I have abused my body for most of my life , it's entitled to not look fantastic !!! I am alive and I am free and I love being me

100 pounds off

by highspirit on 07-25-2013 at 09:28 AM
I feel like a new person ,I thank God every day for my life. I am going through a period of transformation like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon ,spiritually too I am growing a renewed appreciation for god and his amazing grace . Life is improving and I am living and feeling and taking part again instead of being on the outside looking in with sadness .
