5 Months PO Today

I have lost 97 pounds! I want to make it 100 by Friday which is my 47th birthday! I'm going to work extra hard this week to keep those devil-delicious carbs away from my mouth and go to Curves a few extra times! I think joining the Century Club will be a wonderful birthday present. Also, I am completely off my diabetes medicine -- sugar hasn't exceeded 114 since surgery! I am also off my asthma medicine and off my CPAP machine too -- I haven't had a new sleep study yet, so I can't say my sleep apnea is totally gone, but I am definately getting sleep now -- I feel much more energetic, no longer dragging my (fat) ass, and not needing to nap during the day. Also, my cholesterol dropped from 296 to 207, and I expect it to be even less during my six month blood work-up next month. Have a wonderful Sunday guys! Lap RNY, 6/16/03, 336/239/? --

Happy belated birthday! Excellent job we had our surgeries on the same day, I'm down 70 lbs and I planning on joining curves. I feel so much better than before.
