Yeah, I know....................total stranger is back!!!

God, I cannot believe it has been almost 2 months since my surgery. I am down 51 pounds already. I am sorry that I have not been here lately, but I just do not have enough time in the day. I have so much energy now and am always out with friends, also had to take time to myself and deal with the former partner leaving me while I was in the hospital. This surgery has been the best decision I have ever made, and Greg leaving me was also the best thing that could ever of happened. I am so damn happy now. I have reconnected with friends, go out dancing, stay out till all hours of the morning and work out on a regular basis. The only person I have to answer to is me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have painted the last 2 rooms that needed to be painted and bought new carpeting today. Need to buy some new furniture and my big screen TV. I know I promised pictures, but I have come to the conclusion that I don't want to remember the "old" me, plus Greg deleted the before pictures. I will keep a pair of pants, shirt and underwear to remind me of what I used to be and how far I have come, but I will not take those monthly pictures. I am so happy when I get on the scale, an look forward to being weighed at the doctor's b/c I know it will be the LAST time I ever see that number again in my LIFE. To those of you whom have had this surgery, you know exactly how I fell. To those whom are awaiting, I applaud your decision and cannot wait to hea about your journeys. LIfe is truly wonderful and I thank God for giving me my life back. Take care everyone. Remember not to be too hard on yourselves, you can always convert to Hinduism and make up for it in your next life!! Email me at [email protected] rarely make it here anymore =( Love, Jeff

Jeff you missed the excitment... Michelle and I were on our way to Dr. Ray's office we were a block and 15 minutes from our appointment when some dumbass (me) ran a red light... we never made it.... I think we are going to shift gears and go to New Hope CLinic We are taking the wreck as a sign not to go to INdiana... Yes we are both ok... but my car is deceased.... Debby

Howdy Neighbor... Congrats on the weight loss and being 'single' again.. Just wanted to say Hi.. Jenny in Stone Park.

I was wondering where you went, you off and had surgery then left us high and dry, hehe. I have LAP RNY in 10 days, myself. I recently also went through a break up, and even without having surgery yet, I realize it was one of the best things that could have happened to me. Throw a 51 pound weight loss on top of that and i'd be queen of the world, so I can only imagine how you must feel! I'm SO happy for you! I wish you much luck and continued success! ~Jenn

Congrats. Here's to your new birthday!!!
