    I just saw your Visitor Message, Marilyn! HA~ don't worry about me...I am NOT lonely. I totally embrace my SINGULARITY. Ive gone on a few dates and, trust me, all I envision while I was out was exactly what you use to do! I have been a nurse for ever 25 years so the LAST thing I want to do is take care of somebody at the end of the day! I enjoy only having to be responsible for myself, my 2 senior Chihuahuas and 2 Rotten Rottweilers!! :-)
    Thanks so much for thinking of me, though. I am making a trip to Hawaii in 2013...I am stopping by to see you!!!!!

    Well you were right, I came thru with flying colors. Went home on 27th about 5pm after being at hospital at 530 am on 26th. I hate those hospitals. Can't get comfortable in those beds. Ivs in you. But seem to be doing ok. I have gas some but not too bad. I little weak. Cant wait to start eating something more substancial. Tuna, cheese, hamburger anything but protein shakes, cream soups, jello and yogart. How hae you been? Has it been worth it all?

    you are so welcome they have beef bacon that tastes ALMOST the same as pork bacon...and you can get it in the kosher section of the grocery store...if you have any jewish population where you live. it has kosher salt, so the salt in it will have no iodine. as a matter of fact, all the meats including deli meats will be fine for you in kosher. good luck this week!

    I have a size 22 swimsuit worn maybe 3 times with your name on it if you'd like it when you are ready. Shouldn't be long now! Let me know so I don't give it away to someone else.

    So our Christmas tradition is that we always go see a movie at the first showing. I checked on Times and it's not listed yet so I don't know what time we will eat. I'd say maybe 3:00 or 4:00 and since your daughter needs to work at 6:00 I don't know if that will work. I'll let you know as soon as I find put the times. I hope it works out. We can also do New Years or a different day if your daughter is off. It will be a very small group this year cause lots of friends are traveling. But we would love to have you.

Marilyn's weight loss journey, installment 6 !

by marilynlw on 12-05-2012 at 10:42 PM
Well it is 3 weeks post op and it has been an adventure learning to eat and drunk again. My doctor is one who advocates transitioning back to real food at a fairly rapid clip. I spent 2 nights in the hospital instead of just one. That was more do to the time my surgery was completed than any health issues on my part. He doesn't like to discharge until they have be observed at least 24 hours after surgery and it would have been late on Tuesday. When he told me he wanted me to stay until Wednesday

Marilyn's weight loss journey, installment 5 New beginnings!

by marilynlw on 11-24-2012 at 02:03 AM
This process getting sleeved had been a long and complicated ordeal. I went to the first informational meeting almost 3 years ago and was all excited to get my weight under control. Before I could get an appointment I had to get a referral from my PCP and authorization from my insurance company. After 2 months I finally realized that it would not be cover even though I had a BMI greater than 65. They just wouldn't cover any WLSs period. My hopes were shot down.

In June this year

Marilyn's weight loss journey, installment 4

by marilynlw on 11-07-2012 at 10:03 PM
I am in a happy place. Feeling at peace and secure in my future. I have had so many unhappy days and years in my past that I really can appreciate how good life really is today. I may not be rich in worldly things but I have so much to be thankful for. My home is modest but I have a calming view of the ocean. I only have one child but God blessed me with most wonderful daughter. We truly love and adore each other and she is my best friend. I have only on grandchild a 14 year old boy but believe

Marilyn's weight loss journey, installment 3

by marilynlw on 10-19-2012 at 12:40 AM
We were a happy family of 3 and Tom took to the role of fatherhood really well. Only one little bump and that was my daughter was used to sleeping with me. A habit I soon regretted. Tom at about 500 lbs, me at about 300 lbs plus my daughter just didn't fit real well in a full size bed. It took a little while but she got used to sleeping by herself as long as I stayed with her until she went to sleep. As for Tom and me our first purchase was a king size bed. Now the only thing I will say about

Marilyn's weight loss journey. instalment 2

by marilynlw on 10-14-2012 at 01:19 AM
Due to my very low self esteem I didn't love myself and didn't think I deserved to be loved and had some very bad relationships with men. I dated one in particular I remember who thought the world revolved around him and it was my job to make him happy, and being that I was fat I should be glad to do anything he asked just to be with him. So one day as I cooked his dinner and he was watching TV my daughter who was 4 at the time crawled onto his lap and asked. "Daddy will you read me this book".
