Happy 6 month surgiversary to me!
I can't believe that tomorrow will be 6 months since I had surgery. 
Wow. I thank God
every day for this. I'm a happier wife, friend and employee. I just had my annual review, and that was one of the things that just about every member of the management staff commented to my boss on, "Kim's attitude has improved, for the better this year!" Amazing how much better you feel about everything when you drop 100#s.
I have the energy to do the running around that my job as an Admin Assistant needs. I'm just shy of 100#s total lost since I began this whole shootin' match back in May, 2007.
Hark back with me, won't you? 
I had just bought a new pair of work pants at Lane Giant (I think that's a Diane C'ism!) got them home, tried them on (I still hate trying stuff on in the store) and they wouldn't fit up and over my @ss! The thought went thru my head, "Oh well, I'll have to order from their catalog, I can order larger sizes", as I was at the top of the sizes in the store. Well, that thought was no sooner out of my brain then the next thought was, "OH H#LL NO!!!" 
I decided right then and there that I was done with all this. It had been coming on for awhile, I did't fly anywhere cuz my butt didn't fit in the seats, I didn't go to plays as my butt didn't fit in seats, or if I crammed myself in the seat I'd end up with bruises on my thighs, I was out of breath at work when I'd have to go around to the 4 different conference rooms in our building and put the calendars up for the day, and my back would be killing me after that short trip. I logged on to the computer and signed up for the next available seminar at Pacific Bariatrics in June. I was sure I wouldn't get approved, only because I didn't think I did the exact 6 months of MD supervised weight loss. My husband convinced me that I was 2 weeks shy, and that it would all be ok. I had myself prepared, truly for denial and I've not been so happy or shocked to get that call at 3:55 as I prepared to leave for the day. Talk about not being able to wipe the goofy smile off my face. LOL I couldn't have asked for a better support than my sweet husband, Tim. When I'd eat a little too much at the beginning and have to 
, he'd go and get me my BB (barf bucket) and it never grossed him out once!
So, I'm off to work on this last 100...I love and thank you all for your support and friendship, your stories have inspired me and kept me going thru the first 100, and I know you'll be here for the next 100. I hope to get to meet a bunch of ya'll at the OH Conference in LA in Oct....right after my 1 year surgiversary!!! I posted some pre op pis in my profile...stop by and take a peek. It's pretty amazing to me....

!!!! LOL Hey, you have an awesome time on the cruise! When Tim and I went for our honeymoon, I took so many pictures from our verandah...I just couldn't get enough of that water! Cabo is a darling little town...enjoy and we'll get together when you get back, ok? Hey, did any of those clothes work for you? I'll keep you in prayer that those hernias behave themselves and that surgery goes smoothly when it happens! xo
