1.  What was your final staw deciding to have wls?  not being able to loose weight anymore, after my Hystorectomy, those diets that always worked for me, just didn't anymore.  As I see, it now, they still don't.  but the difference now is the scale isn't going up and up anymore.  so I take this wls as a success, even if i'm not a size 6.  I'll take a size 12, even if I stay here, I feel much better.

2.  What is your favorite Outdoor pastime? playing in my yard, gardens, mowing the lawn, planning bbq's/parties,
3.  What do you look forward to doing this summer "Daily". (not vacation)(j/k) taking our evening lap of the lake.  (will miss my puppy coming with us this year)


4.  Next Big Event, you are looking foward to being told your  "Sexy" or just looking great. haha HOpfully my DD's wedding in August, hopeing to loose another 10 lbs. is my goal.

5.  Is there a piece of clothing, you've always wanted to wear but couldn't cause of your weight?oh, geee, that's a tough one Cheryl?? I've always worn what I wanted.  I would say, i'd love to show my belly, but with a 10 lb. baby, if you know what I mean, no matter how much weight I loose, that ain't going to happen.  SO, I would say, keep shoppin for some stylin clothes and look the BEST I CAN BE !!!  even if its not perfect.

HAVE A GLORIOUS DAY, MY FRIENDS !!!!

1. The final staw for me was taking so many different med to try to control my diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesteral, and not being able to lose any weight.

2. My favorite thing to do outdoors is ride my motorcycle.

3.  I look forward to being outdoors and able to take walks.

4. I really do not have a big event coming up, so I guess I will say 4th of July.

5.  I have no particular clothing that I would like to be able to wear, just something off the rack in misses sizes that fits would be great.

1.  Final straw, not being able to go shopping because my body hurt so bad.  Love shopping so that was a great motivator.
2.  Favorite thing to do outdoors is swinging in the backyard with my honey and going for rides with the sunroof open.
3.  I look forward to no longer having to wear winter clothes.
4.  My first weeding anniversary, May 3rd.
5.  I have a leather coat that I can wear but it's a little too tight, cant wait to get back into it.
Enjoy your day.  Love the sunshine...

1. Last straw-  When my weight started to affect my activities as a parent.  Did not have the energy to play and want to be able to take them to amusement parks (and fit in the ride)

2.  Outside activities:  Not an outside person but hope to become one.

3.  Summer:  Not being so hot that I need to stay inside.  Swimming? Playing with the kiddos.

4.  Seeing relatives that have not seen me in a year.

5.  I have a dress that I gave to my friend that I haven't warn since I lost 100 lbs through weigh****chers (hit goal and stayed there 6 weeks them gaid 150 back)  She is keeping it for me and jokes she wants to be able to fit back into it too, LOL. (and she is thin)




Weight includes 21 Pounds lost on 2 Week Pre-op Diet

1.  What was your final staw deciding to have wls?
Having knee problems, knee surgery on one and being told I would need a knee replacement on the other- all due to too much weight on my joints. Also high blood pressure, high cholesterol and probably a host of other things if I kept on that path. My PCP asked me if I knew what "metabloic syndrome" was. That was scarey.

2.  What is your favorite Outdoor pastime?
Gardening- vegetable and flower. Camping.

3.  What do you look forward to doing this summer "Daily". (not vacation)
Working in the yard. Going for walks even at 8PM when it's still light outside. Opening up the windows and having fresh air in the house.

4.  Next Big Event, you are looking foward to being told your  "Sexy" or just looking great. haha
Call me sexy anytime- I don't need a big event for that!
OK-  My 35th high school reunion in September.

5.  Is there a piece of clothing, you've always wanted to wear but couldn't cause of your weight?
Spaghetti string tank tops

oh, GOd, I hear you girl.  My Husband used to tell me I looked sexy "ALL THE TIME" and I used to say "Yea, right"  WELL, he stopped saying it.  Now, If I could only hear it again.  I get my hair cut and colored and he don't notice, until he does the checkbook and turns and looks at me and says, "OH< Haircut" and turns back around.   yada yada. "Bonehead"!!!!  But, your right, you've worked so hard, it would be nice to hear "SOMETHING POSSITIVE"...
