Wow, I have gotten REALLY bad about updating this thing. :-( I guess the fact that my life is pretty much back to "normal" is a good thing, though. There arent a lot of big changes or anything that happen these days. On the 18th of this month, I will be 1 year out of surgery. I am currently down 129 pounds (WaHoo!) and am still feeling great! This was the best thing I have ever done and, without a doubt, this surgery saved my life.
As I said, I am down 129 pounds...which means I am just 1 pound away from my college graduation weight! I knew I wouldnt make it to "goal" for my 1 year surgery anniversary, but I am DETERMINED to make it to this mini goal by then. :-) Then it will be time for new pictures!
I have decided I am not going to stress about updating this journal. Yeah, I know it doesnt seem like I have been stressing too hard, latey (LOL), but honestly, things like that DO bother me. I may not be updating, but I feel BADLY that I am not. So...there may be long pauses between journal entries now, unless something big happens. I will continue to post new pics in the photo journal as I reach little goals and I will continue to update the slide rule on the main page. Of course, when I DO reach my goal weight, you will see an exposion of fireworks in here like never seen before. LOL

Happy Easter, all! I just updated my photo journal. I did it...Today, I am the weight I was when I graduated college 15 years ago!!!!!! I have lost 130 pounds since surgery and I now weigh 250 pounds! *happy dance*
When I was approved for surgery, I appropriated 2 of Kim's concert shirts (that she NEVER wears) and tucked them away for the day they would fit me. One was a Reba/Brooks & Dunn shirt and the other was a Willie Nelson shirt. In the pics I uploaded today, I am wearing the Reba/Brooks & Dunn one!!!! I cant believe it fits! FINALLY! I have another 10 pounds or so to go before I would feel comfortable in the Willie shirt...it's a little snugger then I like my clothes still.
