Almost "normal"...

I was just checking my BMI....its 25.8...and I only have about 5 more pounds to lose before I am a "normal" weight. Could even be a little less since I havent weighed myself in 3 or 4 days. Such a crazy thought...I dont remember a time where I was ever a normal weight, in fact I dont think I ever was...even as a child.......My mother swears I just never lost my baby fat.

I was at the doctor the other day and an aquanitance (or however you spell it) I knew from school came in...I havent seen her in about 6 years now. I went over and sat infront of her and asked her if she knew who I was....she seriously had no idea!! I told her and all she could say was "HOLY S*&T!!" HAHA It was so great! Even my doctor made a comment when she came in. She was like "If I didnt know it was you sitting here, I wouldnt recognize you at all!"

I LOVE MY RNY!! Its so nice to be able to go shopping and not worry if they carry clothes that are big enough and to go for shirts and try the clothes on and actually find that theyre too big and I need a SMALLER size for once!!!!!!!

WLS is the greatest gift an overweight person with problems losing could ever get!!!
