Ive been here lol just reading the board lately. Im still having the issues with food and waiting for insurance to aprove a full lumbar fusion on my back. not staying flat has caused me to mess up more discs. Im finally back down under 190 so I am happy about that but my therapist has me watching the clock to know when i have to eat and journaling alot.... I also got a new pet its a bearded dragon baby his name is phoenix meaning rebirth. Oh and to top everything off kids are out of school.... all 3 of them need to be here and there and all want rides. what ever happened to the good old days when they would just ride their bikes and not even ask for a ride???? hope all is well with you. I did have a WOW moment yesterday. I went to a function in my hometown with my aunt and my cousin didnt even recognise me and hit on me lol I politely responded" im not from down south ya know" joes face got all red and i laughed. funny how people dont even recognise me any more. Hugssssssssssssssssssss Kim

Here goes.... Surgery Date: 10/25/06 Pre-op Diet Weight: 310 Surgery Day: 292 Current: 168 Goal: 151 I have lost a combined total of : 142 lbs! I have lost since surgery: 124 lbs!

Well, of course I had the biggie last week when a student picked me up off the floor. I'm still reeling over that one! I think that was the WOW of all WOWS! This morning I was pumping gas at the store hubby & I always stop at & the clerk was looking out the window & motioned for me to move out from behind the car. I thought something was wrong. Then I see her mouth "Damn Girl!" Too funny!! I didn't know I could read lips! She hasn't seen me in a while & knows that hubby & I had surgery! That put a little strut in my step for sure! When I got to work, my friend who was out from Wednesday said she thought I looked even "skinnier" in the 3 days since she saw me! She also told me my pants were droopy! I have this weird disease...No Assitol! Everyone share your WOW moments! I love reading them!!! Hugz, Gina L
