My Story
November 22, 2005, I had a gastric bypass surgery called the Mini Gastric Bypass. I weighed 292 pounds. (My highest weight was 311 pounds.) I had struggled with the idea of surgery until I read the facts: that the percentage of people who had over 100 pounds to lose that lost it, and kept it off was nil. I was slowly dying.
I lost 147 pounds and my life has changed in so many ways. I am the person I was meant to be. Recently, I started to forget where I came from and lost track and gained some weight back. But like the Phoenix, I rise from the ashes and renew myself. The Warrior returns. Join me as I battle this war, and win.
If I can do this, so can you!

Yesterday at 834am, my sister gave birth to Hope Elizabeth. I so wish I could have been there. She is beautiful. My sister is doing well and I am filled with hope. What a beautiful word HOPE. A perfect name for a baby that was so wanted and wished for for over 15 years. Her birthday is so close to my "new" birthday that I realized that she will never know her Auntie as a large woman. That brought tears to my eyes.
Hope will not know me as I am now. She will know a changed woman. Wow.
