Checking in

Just wanted you all to know that I'm doing GREAT!! I completed all of my course work at college and will be graduating with honors in December. At present I am working on my internship at Petit Jean State Park. I live in the park and am still busily trying to get moved from Russellville to Petit Jean Mountain. Last night I presented a program on reptiles and had 53 participants. My pet snakes made their program debut and did just fine......well, Dinky did just fine.......We managed to scare the poop (literally) out of Slinky. LOL I had Lapband surgery on March 29, 2007 and to date I've lost 43 lbs. I am thrilled! My surgeon says I haven't lost that much, but he doesn't know that I weigh nekkid on my OWN scale. The day of surgery, I weighed 304 lbs. on my scale. This morning I weighed 261 lbs. on my scale. Nekkid, of course!  Oh!! I am a sight to behold, I tell ya!! LOL Tonight I was torn. I didn't know WHERE to spend the night. I have Dish service at my house on Petit Jean, but I have internet and no Dish at my apartment in Russellville. Tomorrow is my day off and I couldn't decide whether I wanted to watch TV, or play on the internet.....you can see which one I chose. I've been getting plenty of exercise. My JOB includes leading hikes here and there so I should be in fine shape by fall. Ya'll take care, I just wanted to check in. Byeeee

Congrads on your 43lbs. Sounds like everything is going great. I've never been to Petit Jean Park before but I bet it is really wonderful up there.

 Congrats. It sounds like your doing awsome. I'm new here and I am just starting on the WLS journey (I just went to the seminar and now dealing with the insurance and loan process.). I just want to say Hi and that I am glad you are doing so well. It gives me encouragement about the process to hear stories like yours. Keep updating. Tammie
