Hello there:

I havent posted in awhile. I went to dr. yesterday. I had surgery on
9/22/04. I weighed 344 lbs. On 10/28/04, I was 308. A weight loss of
36 lbs. in five weeks.

I am so grateful for this second chance at a healthy lifestyle. I
want to thank you all who shared their experiences, strengths and
hopes with me.

Ok so it has been forever since I posted. I have been very busy with
kids,home and my family. But I have lost 91 lbs since 12/9/02 and GOD
IT FEELS GOOD!!!!!! I went from a 5x in mens to a 1 ex and a sixe 34
in womans to an 18-20 in tops and 20-22 in pants. I just want to tell
all of you no matter what you have to go through IT IS SOOOOOO WORTH
IT.
Lots of love and prayers,
Gloria

Congrats, Erin! You know what I seem to be losing since I’ve had my
surgery?! My butt.LOL! Never big to begin with, I think it’s lost a lot of
padding because sitting through Piglet’s Big Movie just about killed me! *Grin*
But to make it through 2 movies..*grin* I want to see Basic myself one day.

April 15th can’t come soon enough for you.trust me, I understand that feeling.
Take care and good luck!

PS……… To everyone in our support group who is reading this email. I am
truly trying to be supportive, I have my Open RNY June 3rd and even though I
actually haven’t experienced the surgery, I want to be there for everyone and
give support to you like you have been there for me. We all have our down
falls and some uplifting is sooo precious when we least expect it. That is
what I have found from this group.. PSS Thanks….:)

Hello All,

An update from me..Yesterday I got up at the crack of dawn drove into Colorado
Springs and proceded to have a sonogram of my liver, and an echo cardiogram of
my heart..my ribs were killing me from all the dang pushing . I then had ALL DAY
to putz around so i went to my favorite cafe, enjoyed a bowl of the best french
onion soup, and then i went shopping of course..lol. I then went to TWO movies
cause Im not much of a shoppper as I thought I was..lol . ( Basic with John
Travolta..HOTTIE!..movie good and Tears of the Sun with Bruce Willis..ANOTHER
HOTTIE! and very sad but good movie..) Then I still had three hours to
kill..YIKES~So I went over the hosptial and enjoyed a healthy hospital food
dinner..Turkey salad and potatoes..yum! I then went back to my van and (yes it
has a tv for the kids..but i was grateful for it!!) watched Survivor..Then off
to sleep lab to test me for sleep apnea…WHy pray tell do they call it SLEEP
STUDY..i didnt feel like i could get any sleep let alone feel like I had when i

left this am..lol. They said they dont believe that I have a serious enough case
for them to make me sleep with that SCARY machine all the time, but they might
want to give it to me while Im coming out of anthesia?? YIKESYUCK!! I
immediately called my surgeons office and told them I have completed my
missions…lol. So i have my final consult with the surgeon scheduled for April
15th..YEAH!! well..ab ab ab ..Thats’ All Folks!! ~ Erin
