Yea!! Peggy's back. WOW 18 wks and 92 lbs. Man, I cannot wait. My dr just sent my packet to Kaiser on the 30th. So I'm waiting to hear from them. Any idea how long that might be? Good Job Peggy!! pegmo1212 wrote: Hi everyone! It has been almost a month since I was here and I can't tell you all how I have missed you. I tried to go back and read the postings that I missed but it was too much. So I started at June 1st. I can't tell you why I was gone just too much stuff in my

life..... not all good not all bad, just stuff. But I am back to stay. I just feel like I have missed some good friends. I am sorry I wasn't here to welcome all you newbie or to pray for you that just had your surgeries. I know everthing went well.A very short update. Since my last posting I have entered in to ONEderland. Such a great place I think I'll stay. I am 18 week post-op and have lost 92lbs. and feeling better than I have in the past 15-20 years. I am down to a size 16-18 from 26. I haven't been this size since high school. I didn't run a race like Francisco's but I did do a 5 mile walk, which was a HUGE milestone for me. I enjoyed it so much I have done several since. No more hip pain, no more foot pain..... really no pain at all anymore. What a blessing this surgery has been to me and I am so grateful, and this is something I never want to forget.I just missed you all so much that I just wanted you all

to know what you have meant to me even when I wasn't here you were all in my thoughts. Thank you for being there and knowing I can come back.PEGGY

Barb,

I aplaude you! It is work to get ourself going, and work to drop the whoa is me program-- but it is worth it.

For some reason, I have been going through the same stuff this year, and I know that it would be so easy to curl up and retreat. Last month when I was so sick with bronchitis and even with oxygen supplementation-- my sats were in the 80%-- I was praying god would take me home.

He, in his grand wisdom, had me pull over on the side of the Skyway driving home-- out where the fires had destroyed the scrub oak and pines coming up the road-- and low and behold, those oaks that had seemed so dead and wasted, have budded out with new leaves and branches above the burned leaves.

I couldn't help but get the message-- I may have felt dead-- but above it all-- there is still some life and growing to do....

Keep looking upward,

Tracie

Hello everyone, I just wanted to let you all know I have not been feeling to great lately. I have been reading your posts but did not have anything in me to right back.That attitude i chucked out the window. lol! I went and purchased the Wii Fit on the advice of my physical therapist. I first stepped on it and it said I was obese!! The nerve of the dam thing !!Anyway I first did some balance exercises as this was the first time in about mmm....7 months I tried to move my ass...anyway before I knew it I actually ended up doing a half hour workout.Of course I thought I would wake up feeling like someone had repeatedly run me over but lo and behold I feel like a new person. I swear to you I can even move my leg better. It may be psycho-symatic but who the hell cares I feel better!!Anyway my new attitude is to stop dwelling on what I can't do and try to see what I can do. Each day is a new adventure! I am praying

for us all! Hope all is well with whomever is reading this!! Blessings and Hugs~~~Barb

BarbGood to hear from you, what a great idea the Wii will your insurance pay for it? lol, OK maybe a tax right off:)   I've always thought the Wii is much better for kids then the other games they play, I didn't know

it had exercise on it too, I might look into it. I'm so glad it helps, seems so hard to find the right exercise that we can do.  Take Care, Blessings, Marla
