10 Months Post Op VSG

[ktteee]

Congrats on your success, I can only hope to do as well as you have. I havent gotten, but brave enough to do a video, but I'd like to follow your journey. So even tho I can't seem to find the courage to show my face(my surgery is nearly a total secret), I hope you will allow me to scribe. You look awesome!

Thanks, Katie

u look fantastic!! I can't wait!

[lovelyshay100]

Hello! You look Awesome.

[MsTimetochange]

I just love your videos. You are so open and honest. I really do appreciate your need for privacy on Facebook. I'm on facebook too and it can takeover your life...if you let it. I don't do farmtown or any of the games I just post now and again or when I receive an email notice that someone has posted something to my wall. Just a tool to keep up with friends. Congrats on your weight loss. I know this video is old, but it's new to me. Hope you and your husband have worked thru the new you:)

[MissJanieHere]

missing you guys...

[Fabydee]

Great to hear from you April, you look awesome...

[melliquer]

glad to see/hear from you APRIL...Your doing awesome...Hang In There...Mental Hell is what those SNACKS AND CARBS do...

[WeightNoLonger]

So glad to see you again. You look so beautiful. I understand about the snacking. The surgery doesn't fix our head. Carbs are so evil. They are my problem too. Sorry about your "struggles" right now.

[ChubbyBear1960]

So great to hear from you! Sounds like a crazy time with so much up in the air. Won't it be nice when it all calms down again. And it will. It always does. Bless you and your husband as you rediscover each other in this life changing process! Oh - LOVE the earrings !! Take care -

[clbroadway]

Thanks for your honesty. I haven't been doing what I should, either. At this point, I think I am not going to lose any more weight. My journey is over. :( I am happy with how far I have come though. Size 26 to size 8. But still 18 lbs 'overweight'.

[tylarea]

Wow, you look amazing! Great update!

[freshorangina]

So glad you did an update!!! It is really incredible how much we can change, and in such a short time. Everything seems different after. I wish you the very best in figuring it all out. :)

...And I hope we all get to see you on here more often.

[slcinoz]

oh I would love for you to friend me but understand...phoeey.

[slcinoz]

[slcinoz]

I am so happy you made i video again i miss seeing your pretty face! i hope we can get together soon. We should be in our new house by the end of october so maybe you could come and visit with us.

[ccdawn39]

Thanks for the update! You look great!! The snacking is what happens to me everytime I diet. Thats why I do good for several months and then life/stress happens and old habits creep back in. That's why wls appeals to me because I won't get to overboard and can get right back on the wagon. I am addicted to fb too! I just have to treat it just like the carbs. Only in small portions! lol My prayers are with you and your family during your current situation. You are a great inspiration!

[katiejuly]

Oh, I missed you! Thanks so much for making an update - you look great! I'm in the same place: days that I snack are days that I want to snack ALL DAY LONG and even though I know exactly what I need to do to kick-start things again, it's hard not to munch. Life returns to center-stage, huh, and the weight-loss journey sort of takes a back burner. It has for me at least. I'm on farmville, so I know, too, about the addiction. Hahahaha. Big hugs, sis!

[brandyqueenmom]

So funny about the fb thing! I know what you mean about the changes and stress on a relationship. You are looking as beautiful as ever!! Glad to hear from you! Hugs!!

[crosspecans]

i had to go cold turkey on the farm town and farmville.  so i know what youre saying. hey i like the new family pics on the wall. so glad ur back with us. you could come to dallas you know. lots of opportunity here for jobs. im still pre-op but im losing wt while i wait. waves~~~

[vkhele]

It's so good to see you April! Wonderful update! Family should always come first so don't apologize for not being around so much. Do what you have to do to make the best home you can. I hope the stresses in your life work themselves out. You look beautiful!!

[dawnmarie416]

Great update! I hear ya about your relationship, I'm so glad you mentioned that. I've been thinking about making a video about this issue, just the changes that a relationship goes through after surgery. Funny (but not really) about the Facebook thing, I know you are NOT alone! My husband has never been a computer/video game guy at all, I was always the one on the computer, well...since FB, he's on all the time! And your right,it does complicate things....good luck with everything girl!

[PSJ71]

OMG, you are looking so thin and trim!! Good goin girl!! HUGS!!!

[ChroniclesofaFATGIRL]

You Look Smaller Apriiiiiiil:)

Missed You Skinny Biatch<3

[changeisgood46]

Great to see you again, April. You are looking healthy. That's the important thing, I think.

I'm a facebooker, too. I avoid all of the quizzes, and farmville, and other things like that, and simply stick to the contact with and sharing of pictures and adventures with friends and family. Even that, though, can take too much time away from my time with my hubby. I need my contact with him, too!

I'm glad you are doing so well. You are one of the first people I watched when I was pre-op. THANKS!

[watchmegetskinny]

man, it just seems like it has been longer than 10 months ago....

[YogiUToo]

Hey! Good to see your beautiful face! Thanks for sharing an update! Hugs, Cami

[fudds64]

April it was so wonderful to see an update from you again..I've been wondering where you were..However now that you haven't been completely m.i.a. from us all but dealing w/ FB addiction..(I know what u mean sincerely).. I pray all will come good for you & the family w/ everything you all do, go thru, & decide.. But the most important thing is taking care of yourself & staying healthy, you've come along way..Stay positive & know my thoughts are w/ u always.. Hugs xo's

[QuiltingConnieB]

so glad u did a video have missed u also keep the faith love u

[prettyblkgyrl74]

Glad to see you back :o)

& you know I've often wondered if my relationships will be the same post-op. *sigh* Right now I'm single & that is a major reason why I've decided to have surgery now during this phase of my life.

I will keep you in my thoughts as you go through this challenging phase.

Best wishes ~~Keena

[neecyd63]

oh and facebook.. I am on there but also choose to keep it separate from my WLS journey. I have some coworkers and alot of friends who don't know I've had surgery. And if they found that'd be ok but I don't feel obligated to tell EVERYONE. I laugh @ the farmville and facebook additictions.. I spend all day on a computer so haven't gotten that caught up but I do check it daily and LOVE how it allows me to keep in touch with friends and family so easily. Be well and take care!

[neecyd63]

Thank you for the update April! Sorry your facing so much stress and challenge in your life... prayers to you that it all gets resolved in a positive way for you in the near future! YOu are looking so fabulous... you just keep up the fight girl... you are worth it!

[katiemh80]

I understand girl you can call me anytime to talk.

[gastricRose]

Hey girl I missed you so very much...thanks for sharing with us...you just keep a tight hold on to hubbys hand and God will take you through this take time to be sweet hearts life can be tough but your tougher lol :0) love ya...love rosemary

[MissJanieHere]

yeah alot of us are facebookers and farmville freaks! :) totally hear ya

<3 you

This journey is a workout, and to me, that is to build our character and to prepare us for bigger things ahead.. keep your chin up and i hope that this phase in your journey takes you exactly where you want and need to be.

[snuggles421965]

Great seeing you again. As for not being the same person after surgery I hear you on that. I am not the same person now. I am more out going and happier and it does take a toll on a marriage when someone changes. Your in my thoughts and prayers. You will do fine.
