A few weeks away......

Hi all....it's just a few weeks away until December when all of us "2003 Decembrites" will be celebrating anniversaries. My daughter-in-law was telling me today that she still can't believe the transition from a fat brunette (she didn't say it exactly like that) to a slim blonde.. 12-15-06 marks my 3 yrs. This year I turned 56..... in July of this year I received my AA degree w/ an emphasis in Psychology AND just as my three year WLS anniversary roles around next month, I will have my AS degree in nursing. I don't think I would have had the energy to accomplish this with my pre WLS weight. Share your celebration......

Hi there Sunny, I am celebrating my 3 year anniversary on the same day as you.. 12-15-06. I will be 55 this year and feel wonderful. Sometimes I forget myself and try to eat like before and wind up . Life has sure changed in all ways for me. I am out of work now and had my hammer toes fixed. This surgery has really showed me what pain is. I did not suffer with my Gastric Bypass or my Hernia Sugery nearly as much. I will be out of work for about 3 months. I am still living with my boyfriend who is very good to me. I find I am a hard person to live with since I was alone for so long. Good news................"I AM A FREE WOMAN" As of October 23rd I am "DIVORCED" I don't know if I will every remarry, but living with my boyfriend first will be the test. Imagine I am "SLIM" & "FREE" I go from 145 to 150 and no higher. I am going for my 3 year check-up on my anniversary date. My Doctor wamts me between 135-140. At 5ft6 I don't feel so strong at that weight. I am still wearing a size 8 tall which Old Navy carries. I have lots of energy and thank "GOD" for leading me to this wonderful decision I made and with his help he has led me the right way. "NO REGRETS" Take care Sunny, and Congrads on your great accomplishments! Lets all sign in and say for our December Anniversay. Lets see what everyone will be doing. Happy Turkey day to all!!!

Hi Sunny, You and Lorraine look great! Are you going to work in a hospital? My brother is a PA down there in Flordia. Maybe you run into him sometimes. I too think it was the best thing I have ever done. I feel so much better since that surgery. I had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We got our house, finally, on Monday. It is really ours now, even though we had to pay $50/rent until we finally got paid for our old house. Someone reported my daughters for living out of the school district (this was before we got the house) I thought if you paid taxes in the city you were allowed to go there. They are still allowed in the city though, because they are both seniors. Hey Lorraine, I am praying for your recovery and for the pain to stop. God bless you all and I know we will have a great Christmas this year. Allison
