Hey all! I have a new picture on my profile. I still have a ways to go yet, but it sure shows a major difference in me since I started this whole process!! By the way YES that is new hair. Went to a fancy salon and had color and highlights put in as an anniversary treat. My hubby couldn't believe it. He said people are gonna think he married a younger women and left me!! LOL!! I wish, but I was sure glad he liked it.
By the way, I go to the surgeon's office this morning about the nausea. Wish me luck.

Hi Kerri! I'm happy with the changes but it is so hard to get accustomed to some of them. Lately, all of my bones are popping out! It hurts to sit for any length of time. I have to reposition myself in bed a lot more as my bones ache - no more padding!!
My job seems to be the biggest thorn in my life. I lost both of my employees last year when our hospital changed to a long term acute care hospital. There are constant changes that affect my office and workload. I was already way behind before I had emergency surgery. Now it's even worse. My boss has no idea of what is involved. All of this makes me stressed and want to eat!
I noticed that since I've come back to work. I am trying to keep a handle on it as I want to get to 160 and get my plastic surgery in November/December.
I am so thankful for this surgical tool. I would have never gotten to this point without it!
Kerri, how are you doing??? Thanks for your response. I always love hearing from you.
Hugs,
Lucy

Lucy~ Congratulations on being able to go off of that blood pressure meds. That's awesome! And size 10/ size small~ I don't even know what to say!!! You rock!
I'm thrilled for you. Hope you will be able to find another job that will bring you a greater sense of peace and happiness. What a blessing this journey has been, though, huh?
You're doing great!
Hugs,
Kerri

Hi Diane
I think it will be nice to relax before surgery too. I was supposed to got o Freeport and Nassau, but I just heard the propellar isn't working right on the ship and can't go as fast. SO instead we are just going to Nassau, but staying there longer.

Hi Diane!
Yes, our lives are changing all the time. At least we are in better shape to get another job. That was one thing I was always concerned about, whether or not someone would hire me because I was SMO. Not anymore!!
I was on the lowest dose of BP medication, so it's like I'm hardly taking anything at all. I've been on BP meds for almost 2 years, so that's not so bad. I just wanted to get off of them. Now I can! Yippee!
My clothes sizes are changing from day to day. So I'm not buying any winter clothes now. I'm going to hold off for as long as I can and then buy some inexpensive ones until I get my plastic surgery done - that will be either in November or December. I can't wait to get rid of the excess skin and belly apron. That will get me under goal and that's fine with me. I don't think I'll be able to lose much more at this point. These last 10 pounds are going to be a killer for me.
Thanks for your response!
Lucy
