Update!!! 3+ years out!!!

[Guest guest]

Hey all! Someone from another list just asked me if I was feeling

better, since I was posting so much on the groups.

YES, I am feeling a bit better.

I am over 3 years post-op now, and as you all know, got to goal, got

healthy, and have never gained an ounce back!!!

I believe that I am getting stronger, day by day. All doctors who

treat CEBV really push good nutrition and protein shakes, supp

cocktails, etc. Since I was already doing that, I think it is

boosting up my immune system )))

I have been praying a lot lately for answers and guidance. I have

always completely accepted this disease, and the statement that it

would take about 2-5 years to leave my system. I always knew that

God had a plan for me, and that is the reason I had CEBV. I thought

maybe He wanted me to slow down. Maybe He wanted me to do more work

online and less " live, " (if you think I can be intimidating online,

you should see me in person!).

Well, now He has been telling me what is going on. He was preparing

me for the battle of my life. I know this. I know it as well as if

He just came down from the heavens and said it to my face.

Yesterday I was talking to a friend of mine (you know who you are).

Anyway, she said that what she always

does if she is not feeling well or stricken with something is just to

go on with her plans, trusting in God to provide her every need and

safeguard her.

Wow, I believed that truly, but I'd never really tested it out. I

just assumed that He didn't want me to go to the ASBS conference this

year, because I was sick, so I didn't go. I just assumed He wanted

me to give up doing the protein parties, because I was too sick to be

a good hostess.

This was probably the wrong assumption. I should have trusted in Him

more, and went through with what He has commissioned me to do all

along.

Soooo, what I am getting at is that I am BACK! I will be attending

the next Houston conference in a month even if Glenn has to wheel me

in.

The protein parties are going to continue! I don't care if one

person shows up or one hundred, we are moving ahead and trusting in

God to make this happen. No one has picked up the torch since I

stopped the parties, so it is up to me to make them happen again.

Felissa and I will be hosting the next party soon. Get your

clothes out to trade, get your pen and paper out, get your butt out

to my house or Felissa's in Sterling, VA, and be prepared to be

peeled off the ceiling!

More info soon!
