Well, not really right!? One year ago I would have been on-line and on the boards all of the time, but you know what, I actually have things to do now; and I can do them! I've just been soooo busy and I thought the title would get your attention!?

Today is my Re-Birthday!!!!

And, I've lost 132.5 pounds on this journey, and over 108". My BMI is now 25 which makes me moderately overweight! At todays' visit with my surgeon, he says I've exceeded the % expected after this surgery!!!! Five more pounds folks and I'll be normal weight

I wanted to stop by to say Hi, but I also wanted to say thanks..... through all of the whining and cryong and questions. Through all of the time that I drained fluids after surgery, through all of the dumping and nausea, resisting protein and trying to eat things that are now no-no's for me, through all of that, I knew ever single one of you would be here for me! I don't think I would have gotten this far without your support, even when I'm not ver visible on a regular basis! Many, many hugs and kisses to everyone, just for being here! Jacqui
