Update

Well I haven't been around much since I started school and I am still dealing with my EBV. Well I saw Dr. O this week and I was released from him..I was so nervous to see him go figure. He said I could stop losing now or drop a couple more pounds if I want. At the end he said Get out of here kid, you did great, come back and see us when you can. I lost a total of 170 pounds from surgery, right now I am 157 and a size 6..I never thought I would say that, I always thought there had to be a 1 or a 2 before that 6. We finally got the numbers on the fixing of our house...and we are under so they are fixing it. We have to move out for a year now while they tear down the garage, 2 bedrooms, bathroom and kitchen. My husband went back to his old job...sales weren't cutting it at all. He is really happy to be back doing physical work, he gained 20 pounds since my surgery. I may be getting a job Wow how things change after this surgery. A friend of ours heard about a job and I contacted the woman but she filed her position but they had another office hiring. I met with the woman informally yesterday, I was a nervous wreck. Oh this is funny...I had no clothes to fit me for an interview, I had to wing it with casual clothes. We really clicked, she said I will be calling you for sure for a formal interview, you come highly recommended. Oh the job is in leasing properties and property management. My mom is dating now, that was quite a shock to the system, but she is really happy, he is a doctor So just to end this..I am still alive..just busy. I hope you all are doing well. Tracey

Tracey, I can't imagine you wearing a size 6!!! You must really look incredible and I wonder if I will recognize you at all? I'm in 6s mostly, but today I found the pants that fit the best were size 4 and that doesn't exactly make me happy because size 4 is harder to find and I'm emaciated and VERY bony from the waist up! Anyway, you've done SO splendidly I can't believe it!! The amount of weight you've lost is just amazing!! I bet Dr. Overcash was proud! He SHOULD be!!! Can't WAIT to see you again at the next meet n' greet!!! Jan 240/126/115 (at goal size)

Size 4! Now I am even more jealous.

Tracey, Dang, Girlie! Sounds like things are movin and groovin in your world! I am so happy for you and am glad things are looking brighter with the house and family. OK, so I admit, I am a wee bit jealous that you're at goal already, but then again I've always envied your success (and lack of plateaus LOL), but it's ALL GOOD ! I'll always love ya! I hope we can get together very soon and catch up at Panera for lunch, give me a holler if you and Miss Kate can join me. I've missed chatting with you but I things are hectic for both of us. Call me soon! Take care, Amy

Tracey--So good to see you posting. I had been wondering about you as I hadn't seen you post in ages. Glad to hear you can get going on your house repairs. Good luck on the job thing. Kinda cute about Mom dating--she was a cutie. Take care. BTW--size 6--I am totally jealous!

I was wondering how you have been Tracey! Glad about your house, it will be nice when its done. And so much going on in your life with the job, dh's job....wow! And Congrats on the weight loss, just amazing! Sizw 6 is wonderful. I am at the 67-70 lb mark now, and in size 7. I am like you, expecting to see a 1 infront of that number. Went to a fancy dinner, and had nothing to wear, the stuff in the closet swam on me. I look at my body and wonder who that is at times! Anyway, can't wait to see you at the meet and greet! Glad to hear about your Mom too. That she can date shows that she had a great relationship with your Dad. No one will ever replace him to her, she is just going on with life, just like Dad wanted her to. Blessings and hugs, Tami
