Well it has been two years now since my surgery. I have lost 139 lbs. I am happy but feel if I ate better I could be down more. The surgery was wonderful, however, it does not fix some things. I am an emotional eater and I still have problems in that area. I have noticed I am more depressed than ever at times. But other than that I am happy for now. Wanting to have my tummy tuck. I hate the loose skin. I am on myspace if you want to be my friend there. Just type in jennifer Vallentine. I am the one in Branchville. Deb you look great in your wedding pictures. Congrats my weight lose day buddy.

It has almost been 2 years now since my GB. I have lost 135 lbs. I am naughty at times when it comes to eating. I cannot do sweets. I am very happy. I am finishing my first year in college. I will begin the Associate Degree Nursing Program in the fall. Our final hearing to adopt Gabriel is March 9th and 10th 2009. Wish us luck. Love you all..Hope to see you all real soon. Love Jennifer

I am offically in Onederland...I weigh 199....I havent seen that in ages...30 more pounds to Dr. Brynes goal. My goal is 130..Love Jennifer

As of today I have lost 101 lbs......yessssssss

I had my 3 month appointment yesterday. Dr. Brynes says I am doing fantastic and I should be at a 100 lbs lose soon. He also said my goal is 180. Thats 60 more lbs. And I could easily get to 140....Easily...yeah right !!!! I am happy.

I got on the scale today. I weigh 262. Thats a 52 lb loss. I feel great about it. 63 more pounds and I will be out of the 2 hundreds. I cannot wait. I am slack about protein but I am going to do better. All the girls on the SC board will keep me straight. I learn so much from you guys. So if I ask to many questions you can all fuss at me...HAHA....Oh yeah...It's no real big deal. But I for once weigh less than my husband. WOWOWOWOWOWOW.......

I am doing okay I guess. I feel like I stay nauseated. And I can only go so much before I have to stop and rest. I have lost 30 lbs. Which feels good. I have gone down 3 pant sizes. Only if I felt better. I guess only being out 2 weeks is why I feel bad. My PCP gave me something for the anxiety. It helps me go to sleep at night. I wish I had a maid. My kids are tearing my house apart. I need to clean so bad and can't. Sorry to whine but when you do things yourself and then find yourself not being able to it is hard. Pray for me everyone...Love Jennifer

Hi everyone. Had my surgery on the 7th. My body is a little tired so I don't know if I will be able ot finish this post.  Here's how it went. I arrived at 5:45. Was in surgrey by 7. My family said Dr. Brynes came out and said everything went good but he had some difficulty. He said there was a lot of fat inside and i had an enlarged liver or fatty liver.  They had to put me on a cpap machine in recovery. I was in a room by 11:30. I had a huge room. All I wanted was some water and a fan. I finally got a fan. The nurses worked hard to find it. All the nurses, drs and students etc were great . I did not meet on unhappy person. They were a few times I feel they forgot me but they are a busy bunch. I had a morphin pump and had to take a anti nausea medicine. i had the worst backache the whole time I was there. My diabetes had to be controlled by insulin and I had my fingers stuck a hundred times. I also had a shot of blood thinner and a shot for belly pain put into my stomach serveral times a day. I had my swallow test done early the second day but had to wait to eat till after 2. When I got my juices I found them way to sweet. I did eat ice and drink sips of water. I was glad to get home. They gave me pain meds before I left the hospital..One nurse I will never forget is MAndy. She is a sweetheart. Took great care of me. Thanks Mandy...Anyway I am home an sore and my body is weak. I would also like to say I shared a bathroom with Debbie Grooms who is also on obesityhelp.com..She came to see me and I went an sat with her a few minutes. She was suppose to go home today too. Love ya Debbie...I am about to fall out..Gotta go..Love Jennifer

Well I have my time. I have to be there at 6am. I am getting a little scared. But will do fine. Love to all Jennifer

I called Lisa today to make sure Dr. Bryne okayed my surgery for Wednesday and she said she had not seen him but would later and would update him. She said she didn't think he would have a problem but if he did she would call me. Everytime the phone rang my heart started pounding. But she never called and she had my home and cell number. She said if there was no problem I would get a call Tues. with a time to come to the hospital. Everyone prayed so hard for me and the Lord felt I needed this new date. I am elated. And even if she calls tomorrow and says no i cannot and have to wait. I will be okay. I am in Gods hands. Thank you to everyone for all the support. I will update tomorrow. Love Jennifer
