MRS.GLOVER
My name is Felicia I go by Lisa, I have been trying to lose weight for YEARS! this whole experience has been such a joy. I am enjoying the fact that I am going to be the size that I want to be and be healthy. My slogan is " I can do all things through Christ and that is what I am doing. Outside of my family this is the happest I have ever been in my life.
I have to thank Dr.Jessee because she is so friendly and really takes time with her patients and that really made me feel easy about the surgery
Now I can now go back to running 3 to 4 miles a 
day and feeling good about myself again. 
12/17/2007 4:30 P.M. my post op visit, I was wrong I lost 6 Lbs. So now I am at 260. Still excited.
ok to run and get back into my work routine.
12/25/2007: Well it's Christmas and I went to my inlaws house for dinner, I did very good with my meals, did not eat any cake or pies and my food was solid(very bad because I should be on soft foods) so I ate things like stuffin' and greens, just a spoon full or two.
I am so afraid that I am not gonna make this, its still really hard to believe.
12/26/2007: good day today, I ate, grits for breakfast, for lunch I ate chicken noodle soup and for dinner I ate greens and a slice of ham(not suppose to eat ham) but it went down ok. not good but ok. Still nervous about the whole lap band.
Will I make 180? boy oh boy we shall see. going to start on my 
work out tomorrow so here goes.
01/19/2008: Well I will be filled in a couple of days so me and the family went to Orlando and I ate two lobsters, thats a switch because I use to eat seven to eight...... I have eaten everything on earth so I am ready for my day to get here!!!! boy, oh boy, I am going to see if all of this really works, I will be posting to scream if it doesnt.
01/20/2008: Went to the Mall and brought me a couple of pairs of jeans, size 18/20 boy I am getting ready to scream if this surgery does'nt hurry and get here..... also purchased the stockings that suppose to keep everything in. Yeah we will see.

01/22/2008: well the 2nd day of being filled bad. I am a big eater so I as saying to myself, yeah right this is going to work, I went to try to eat as usual. I DONT THINK SO... I am so happy now, next to wiring my mouth shut I finally have something to make me not only stop talking so much but stop eating so much, now I am to busy laughing because I cant believe it. 
This band is the best thing next to sliced bread(well no carbs so next to working out)!!
02/18/2008: Well I have not written in awhile and I said that I need to get back to jotting down every day that I have breath in my body so I can look back on this on 2009 and laugh on how I struggled to get this finest off of me..
Well my friend Eugenia has been working very close with me to make sure I do what I am suppose to so that I can get to my goal weight of 180 by the summer time. She took pictures of me and she has posted them on my web page. I have turned over a new leaf and now I am ready to go, I finally realized that if I dont eat right it's going to be a struggle for me to get the weight off..
I started to post on www.thedailyplate.com to keep up with my calories and my work out. I am allowed to have 1900 calories a day due to my rigarous activity.
