Hi Kay, its a rainy friday night here in Chicagoland. Here's my answers: 1~ What are your weekend plans? I am going to the dentist, having my weekly manicure, going to the gym, have a date with one of my many new guys. 2~ Are you pleased with your WLS results at 1 year out? If not, why? Yes, I am pleased. Sometimes I am frustrated that I am one of the slowest losers but my surgeon says that's the way he made me and I am right on target. 3~ Have you lost more or less than you thought you would at 1 year? Looking back I am not sure I had any expectations on what I would lose. As we started I thought it would be 100 lbs. If I had exercised more maybe it would be that...but I am not a person to look back with regrets so YES, I am VERY HAPPY. 4~ How much more weight do you want to loose? I want to lose another 30 lbs, maybe 40. They say I will loose 15 lbs when I have the skin taken off my belly 5~ Do you have a clothing size goal? Size 8. A 6 would be beyond comprehension. 6~ What size did you wear the day of surgery? Size 3x tops, 22/24 pants but they were getting snuggly 7~ What size do you wear now? I wear a large top and a 12 or 14 pant. If it were not for my belly I'd be into a 12 all around. 8~ In our first year, what was the 1 WOW moment that stands out the most? When I got up on stage to lead a conference and there people in the audience I'd not seen in a year. I saw the whispers and pointing start, looks of excitement and delight on people's faces. I could have been reading anything and regardless, I had their attention and felt so proud of myself. 9~ Is there anyone that you would like to see that you haven't seen in a while and say, "Look At Me Now"?? Who? My grandmother. She tormented me about being fat my entire life. She never believed I could lose it and treated me as an outcast, accordingly. 10~ If a talk show wanted to have you on the show to talk about wls, would you? Heck yeah!! I have offered to help my surgeon as he does info sessions. And I like the idea of the make over to accompany it!!!!
