3 years out tomorrow!
Welp I made it 3 years out!
I had my husband leave me but I have such a great new life!
For those who don't know me...I my heaviest was 355 and had surgery at 327, I am now 135.
I am very happy with my sucess! I have had my ups and downs in the last 4 years and I have used you guys as my sounding board and shoulder to cry on.
Even though Troy left me after I lost the weight...I wouldn't change anything for the world!
Here is to 3 more years!
Hugs
Tracey

I take it one day at a time! I am proud of being so strong during this process! Now it is time to live it up! I am dating right now, finding guys just look at the outside and don't care about the inside...so I keep on trucking, tossing them off as I drive.
You take care and I hope you feel better.
Time to go shake my booty with my friends...celebrate me!

UNFORTUNATELY THERE ARE MANY SHALLOW PEOPLE OUT THERE BOTH MALE AND FEMALE AND I AM SURE U HAVE EXPERIENCED THAT ALREADY, IT'S AMAZING HOW PEOPLE TREAT U SO DIFFERENT WHEN WE ARE SLIMMER - EVEN NOW WHEN I CAN SHOP IN THESE LITTLE BARBIE BOUTIQUES WHICH I DON'T REALLY DO I STILL FEEL THAT THEY ARE WATCHING ME AND THINKING WHY THE HELL IS SHE IN HERE!
TAKE CARE.

Congratulations, Tracey!! I'm right behind ya! In just about one month I'll also be celebrating my 3rd anniversary too and the time has just flown by. I've been doing Dr. Jawad's informational seminars for 2 years now and I've been doing angel visits post-op at the hospital for over 2 years also!!
I'd love to see you again sometime and you can give me the secret to getting dates! HA!
Thank you so much Jan! It has been way too long since I saw you. I know time really has flown by even with all the poop in my life.
I am so proud you have been doing the seminars...Michael told me the other day I should look into speaking and helping others.
No secret, I get dates but they are so not up to par....I am really picky I guess, always was actually.
Next time your down here send me a e-mail...meet up for lunch or something.
Michael told me the other day I should look into speaking and helping others.
You really should! I read about so many of us who started over 300 who don't make it quite to goal and sturggle with re-gain. You are such a fantistic examle of just how awesome this surgery it.
