woooohoooooooooooooooooooo

First of all thanks for the big welcome from one of my earlier posts!! Next of all, I now weigh 192# yipppppppppppeeeeeeeeeeeeee. i am down below 200. I NEVER thought Id see this day. This time last year I had no idea I would be having this surgery. so much has changed since then. Next bit of good news is my blood work came back good. Well, my uric acid level was elevated...not sure what that means ?? maybe need to drink more water? it doesnt sound real bad though. I still have food issues but I prolly always will. I will have to struggle with it all from time to time but hey thats life. I guess there is a price to pay with everything. If i ever think its not worth it I just look in the mirror at how different I am and it changes my mind. Also, In reply to the alcohol post. I used to on occasion love to drink a beer or two YES beer I havent had anything since surgery but they looked so good sitting in the fridge so cold. soooo, I had a few drinks of one and got tipsy realllllll fast. Ive never been a drinker but in a blue moon when I got in the mood its always budlight that i loved. well, now I guess I only need a few sips. that is way too funny. it only took about 2 before now 2 SIPS...hahahhaa. I hope everyone is having a great day. love and hugs jennifer -70

Congratulations! You are doing great. I can hardly wait until I am under 200. Heck, I was ecstatic when I finally weighed under 300! Isn't it great. Not only does the WLS cause you to lose weight, it causes you to become a happier person. Keep up the great job! Mary
