I am back - An Update

Hello fellow losers.... I am checking in because I have not been here for a while. Since I relocated to the St. Louis area the end of October, 2004 I have been feverishly looking for a new job. I have been working with several temporary agencies, and on Monday January 17th, I started a new job; it is a temp to perm job; and after 3 months the company will bring me on full time. This means my life may be getting back to some sort of normalcy. For over a month I have been at the same weight loss 105 pounds since my surgery on May 25, 2004; but this morning the scale finally moved. I have lost another 2 pounds and that bring it to 107 pounds. It was a great thing to see the scale move again. I hope now that my life is settling down the weight loss will pick up a little bit. The STRESS has been unbelievable. My next big step will be looking for an apartment in close proximity to my new job at 270 and Gravois. Don't want to spend a long time commuting to work everyday. I have been trying to attend pretty regularly the support group at St. Alexius on Saturday mornings; it is an awesome group; so if anyone is looking for a group who has had the surgery come and join us, it meets from 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. every Saturday. I am having my new monthly picture taken tonight; do it once a month to keep a photo journal of my weight loss. When I get it developed I will get it posted in my profile. Blessing to every one who is considering the surgery, had the surgery, and that is experiencing this new chance at life. Betty Myers St. Louis, MO OPEN RNY 5/25/04 -107 pounds
