Stomach was improving but for the last 2 days
it is acting up again. Having sharp stabbing pains at times.
Have not lost ANY weight for 5 days now. Guess
losing 10 lbs in 9 days causes that.
I have lost 90 lbs now. Body is not as flabby
as I anticipated.
Legs are very thin.... sexier than ever!
I now have cleavage!!!!
Waist is under 40. Neck is 14". Wrist 6 1/4.
Bust 45".
I have not had a morsel of food since Jan 22.
So 2 weeks with no food. Only liquids. Mainly water and protein
shakes made with Light soy milk.

January 29, 2010 Friday
My CT scan and labs were all normal.
Doc thinks my tummy pain and soreness may be
a hernia, a small blockage, or scar tissue and is not life
threatening. If the pain persist he wants to go back in and look
around. Surgery! Which I am not wanting.
I have been on clear liquids for a week. Doc
told me to advance to protein shakes for 3 weeks and then soft
foods. Hoping this allows my tummy time to heal.
I now have lost 88lbs!
I am now able to wear a size large 12/14!
Been doing stretching exercises.
The boxing made my elbow joints and arm
muscles swell up and ache. Have to take it easy with my
fibromyalgia.
My Baby Love John is having insomnia. Slept
less than 2 hours last night. He was so exhausted that I sent
him to bed early tonight.
Been relaxing playing Farmville and Cafe
World on FaceBook. I just went to level 53 on Farmville. Only 17
levels to go.
Snowy and Cold tonight. Gonna sit and watch a
movie from Netflix.
Prayers to all.

Been 3 weeks since I updated. I have lost 85
lbs now!!!!
Been having some upper Left quadrant
abdominal pain and green diarrhea. Had a CT Scan on Friday.
Should know results on Monday. Been feeling yucky and weak.
All my labs from December were normal.
Had a Kidney test on Friday and my Creatinine
was 1! WONDERFUL!
BP is great. Cholesterol Normal.
Triglycerides still up.. but with Diabetes that happens.
Started on Clear liquids on Friday. Only
water. Added Protein Enhanced Chicken Broth. Gonna stay on this
for a week and then advance to Milk Protein Shake sand then
start my gastric bypass progression Diet all over.
I thought with only consuming water than my
pain would go away and it has not. Still have pain and soreness.
I LOVE Wii Sports Boxing! Really great
workout but I get so sore in my shoulders, chest and arm area.
Prayers sent to Dreama in Ohio. She really
needs them.
John and I are doing great. Our first chat
was 23 months ago! He may have to have surgery on his nose. He
has calcium growths from an accident when he was 4.. his sis hit
his nose with the garden swing. He has such sinus probs. Drippy!
He has to try meds for 4 months and them will prolly require
surgery. I pray he is ok. John is having insomnia again. Please
say a prayer for him. THANKS!
I have a bad headache. Gonna take some
tylenol.
Prayers to those in Haiti and all over the
world.

I have lost 80 lbs now!!!! Went from a 24/26
to a size 14/16!!! I AM HOPING TO LOSE 80
MORE LBS!
John calls me his Skinny baby! :-)
He told me tonight he sent me a Christmas Card and it still has
not arrived. Slow postal service!
Still fighting a nasty cold. Stayed in today
and will tomorrow. I see Dr Melling (Family Doc) and also Dr
Langton (Diabetic and thyroid) On Monday for checkups.
My cold is really wearing me down and making
me lethargic.
John and I are growling closer daily. He is
the best. We laugh and share things every single day. Always
makes me smile. I am not an easy person to get along with but
John is patient and helps me deal with life in ways I never
thought possible. I have major mood swings and he helps me cope
with them by talking with me and having me open up and talk
about any and everything. We spend at least an hour a day
listening and talking to one another. Dad even likes him! Woo-Hoo!!!!
I am so blessed to have him as my best and closest friend. He
listens and cares. Is so supportive and loving. I adore that
silver haired rascal!
Sugar is much more stable the last 2 days
that it was. Praise The Lord.
The cold weather is really wrecking havoc on
my Fibromyalgia. I have such bad shoulder and thigh aches and
pains. UGH! Gonna ask Melling to increase my Cymbalta dosage on
Monday.
January 1, 2010
It was my 44th year
without a New Years Kiss at Midnight! Yes 44 years without a man
here to share it with. John did kiss me by webcam... closest I
have come to a real kiss. I have not dated in 15 years now. I
have very lil experience with any relationships. Praying that I
will gain confidence, self esteem and can overcome
some bad experiences (sex abuse as a child) to finally start
dating this year.
John and I adore
one another. Have for almost 2 years now but 3500 miles separate
us and other circumstances. I surrender it all to God and ask
for guidance for both John and myself.
Happy
Hogmanay Baby Love!
I am so happy. I lost 2 more
lbs!!!! Maybe the stall is over! Down 78 lbs from this time last
year. Wearing size 14/16 jeans and tops!!!!! Lost 8 inches in my
stomach area in 3 months!
Saw my surgeon this week. He is
pleased and says my metabolism is messed up since my insulin
requirements are widely varied day to day and since I have stop
losing weight (When I saw him I had stopped.. Started losing
again today) Been the same weight plus or minus 5 lbs for 6
weeks. Yo-Yo-ing ... I am down 2 additional pounds today. I am
actually down 5 lbs since yesterday but not from my lowest the
past month.
My Endocrinologist did a C Peptide
blood test on me. I have GAD Antibodies in my blood which shows
that my pancreas produces very little if any insulin naturally.
So I am a Type 1 Diabetic and will require insulin for life.
Main reason for gastric bypass was
in hopes of going off insulin and getting rid on an insulin pump
being attached to me 24 hours a day!!!!
Sugar has been up and down from 60
to 450 since Dec 1st. My insulin Requirements were down to 16
daily when December started and went up to 77 on some days. Back
down to 25 or so. Fluctuating glucose levels wear me down
Docs want me to be a lil more
active and I am having a blast boxing, playing tennis, bowling,
and golfing on Wii Sports. So much fun and an awesome workout. I
get all sweaty! Rosie loves it as well. Taking turns
playing. Playing only in short spurts. I am so sore !
2009
I am so
grateful that I had Gastric Bypass surgery and that my insurance
covered it. I have Lost 78 lbs. Half on my own!!!! I am no
longer in kidney failure (hopefully no more dialysis EVER!) I am
requiring less insulin. Off 2 blood pressure meds. Able to walk
more without as much pain. (I have fibromyalgia.) Off
my c-pap machine (sleep apnea)
and only 1/2 cup of food fills me up now! Woo-Hoo!
2009 was a
difficult and sad year.
I lost:::::
my favorite Aunt Doris Jean "Jeanie" Altizer Hurley aka Nee-Nee
(Stroke);
My Godmother Connie Sue Ramsey (Hepatitis);
and the love of my life Michael Todd Northcutt (Brain Tumor).
You All will forever remain in my heart.
Missing All of You.
I am grateful to know I will be seeing all of you in Heaven
someday.
I am so Thankful that I survived
2009::::
Gastric Bypass, Nuclear Stress Test, Endoscopy, Cardiac
Catheterization, 8 bouts of kidney infection, Kidney Failure, 10
tooth extractions... one which perforated my sinus cavity (more
painful than gastric bypass) Ended up having a complete smile
makeover. Survived an entire month on LIQUIDS only! I am
starting 2010 much healthier than last year! Thank You Jesus!
I pray that everyone has Health, Happiness, Serenity, Hope, and
Love in their lives.
I love to Play FarmVille and Cafe World on
