    Anyway on another good note. I'm glad your doing good. I'm happy you got another job too. You don't need that crap either. You need to change everything to make a new life for yourself. How is your hubby doing? I think about you and him often. We need to meet up some weekend and chat or shop for NEW clothes. My favorite place is Ross or TJ Max....or Marshalls. I love to brouse around them stores. I don't always buy stuff...but I love to look. I know I will be getting smaller in time, so I try hard to watch what I do buy. I got a lot of clothes for x-mas, so out with the old and in with the new. I love this life. I can't wait to hit another 10lbs down. I went from my all time high of 260 to 218 today...so I'm good with that.....How are you doing? Look me up on facebook.... (Janine Maginity-Decker) K? Take care and keep in touch!

    Hi Girl:

    Yes, i know I'm so bad when it comes to getting on this site. Did you say you were on Facebook too? We need to hook up there. I'm happy for you to make this change. Its a good change and you will do fine. I'm going thru my divorce too. He moved out 15 days after my surgery and we haven't seen eye to eye since then. We (kids and I) are doing ok. He has them 16 days a month and I do too. I'ts ok, but not perfect. MY daughter is still too small to be away from me that long. She has a big problem with it, especially at night, so I'm taking him back to court to get her more of the time. He works nights now and that's just not cool with her staying with his male roommate. I hate it too! and I don't trust his roommate as far as I can throw his fat ass....so needless to say, I'm going to win her back in the long run. My son is older and is ok with it, but it does bother him too when she is sad. It's just not right......

    Wow, you now have to worry about a fatty liver?! Doesn't the pre-op and post sleeve reality take care of that? What a drag!

    Hey, It's been a while...How are you doing? Feeling oK, I hope? How's the weight falling off? I'm sure you will pass me up soon, if you haven't already. I'm down 30lbs today...2months out. So, I'm ok with that. I cleaned out all my 2x and bigger clothes out of my closet. That felt really good. Well, drop me a line soon. I would love to hear how your doing. Happy New Year...this will be our year for sure! ;-)

    How goes it today! I had the brusing too. Really, Really bad. Black, Black stomach, and the bad thing about that is when it does start to heal(atleast mine did) the old blood comes out, so make sure you have gauze and put it on. Some of it was soaked up within, but a day or two of it ran out. It was all over my clothes at work and I didn't even know it until I stood up...it was awful...Yeah, don't go back to work until you feel better. I was off two weeks and the first week back was hell. I was sooooo tired. Have a great weekend.

    part 2: I went to Publix on the weekend for lunch and sampled all the meats and stuff they display and that is awesome!!! It's a quick, cheap lunch and it's all good and already prepared ha-ha! I'm going to try Costco this weekend. It's better than going out to eat and it's free...Wait, you'll see..It's fun too.

    We r having our x-mas luncheon now. I had three shrimp, one 1/2 deviled egg and a tablespoon of texas hash and I'm full. The full feeling will be a bit different too, and the hungry feeling. hang in there...your doing terrific!

    Hi there:

    It will take a long time for the tired stage to pass. Just make sure you load up on vitiams and water!!!!. I went and got some liquid vitiams at GNC and it's easier to "drink" then to swallow. I didn't want to put anything in my mouth at all. I still have a hard time. I started at 251 and I'm today 224, so 27 lbs down in 6 weeks. I'm thrilled. You will do it too. I had my first stall the second week and that was awful, but then the weight started to fall off. This is by far the best decision I've ever made in my life. Don't worry about anything for the fist month, really. just do what you can and eat what you can. Don't count the fat, or carbs, just any little bit will be good for you. I have problem with sugar too, still now. I can eat it, but it's really, really sweet. More than I remember back when I was shoveling it in and thinking nothing of it. I stay away from it for the most part. I haven't had a slice of bread in two months and I'm fine with that too. Your entire way you took at food will change.

    How are you doing? It's been a week now. The worst is over, so hang in there. The next week will be hard too, but not as bad as the past week. Are you on mushy food yet? I pretty much eat everything now, but I do watch my fat and carbs a lot. I'm almost under the 200 mark, a few more pounds. I'v about grew out of all my big people clothes (that sounds crazy) I'm happy....so happy! I was going to buy a black dress for New Years!....I still might, but waiting for the last minute. Keep your chin up and call me if you need too. Love ya@

    OOO so glad to hear from you. I was thining about you all week. I know you will do fine. Just take it slow for the first two weeks for sure. It took be two weeks to get my energy back (not all of it, but for the most part enough to functio again) I still have a sore tummy and I can only eat about 1/2 a patty of burger and about 3oz of tuna fish. It will be a huge change, but once you feel better after the holidays, we need to all get together. Josh, u and I...I see the scales finally moving again. Remember the stalls and don't worry about them. They will starts and stall several times, but the inches will be melting away. I'm going to a xmas party tonight. THese people haven't seen me in months, so I'm kinda excited how they react. They don't know I had surgery, but they do know my x moved out, so I'm going to play it off as "I'm happy he's gone" which I am for sure........what they don't know won't hurt them....Have a wonderful weekend and if you need to talk, call me on my cell 239-821-8884 k? anytime..

    OOOO...I know what your thinking right about now. I was thinking the same thing..what the hell did I do...but believe me, time goes by so fast. You will start feeling better soon. Give yourself time, have faith in God to heal you and keep you under his wing. You will do fine. I thought about coming up to seeing you, but I knew when I just got out of surgery. I didn't want anyone to even look at me, let alone talk to me. I did it alone. No friends, parents....nothing. I spent two nights in the hospital by myself and I loved it! Take it easy and update us all when you can. Sweet dreams.
