My mid-week has been FULL of WOWs!  FINALLY got the new computer up and running--amazing to have both Broadband Hi-speed internet, plus the brand new Vista Windows computer!!!  Am now able to just whizz through posts and actually be able to quickly post replies!  And having the HP tech support is priceless!  Only had to make one call, and am flying here!

Tomorrow is my two-year surgiversary:  yesterday morning I weighed 129!!!  The lowest I've been since surgery, so do not give up on being able to lose farther out!  It happens!!!  Gratefully, the Lasix diuretics four time daily have tremendously helped shedding the horrid water weight--at one point was up to 158 lbs!  That was devestating,though am so relieved to know the cause, and how to prevent further episodes:  with this hi-speed computer, will be able to get more done online in the one-hour spans between stretching, elevating feet (still as proactive measure), walking, and finally immensely enjoying life!   Did receive a denial letter for medial thighs lift and panni last week--only because the provider neglected photo submission.  The process continues, and am confident all will be a 'go'!  And to know I'm carrying at least ten pounds of extra thigh/stomach skin!  Keep working your program, keep the positive attitude, and should you slip one day, just pick yourself up, brush yourself off, and proceed forward!  We're human, and not perfect, but diligence and healthy perspective will carry you through!  Have a marvelous day and weekend everyone!  Oceans of love and hugs galore to all!  P

LisaJoy, thank you SO much;  just had to share the news, as I'm finding many seem to think that once that first year opportunity window of maximum weight loss is through, that it's all over.  So not true and I'm living proof of the fact!  This sure is a life-time journey, yeaaaay!  Keep up your fabulous work Lisa--love your current avatar!  Keep up YOUR fabulous work hon!  Hugs galore, Patti

Thank you so much Lois!  Always keep the faith in your program, because even at two years out, the WOWs are fewer, although they are still existent!  Take care of you--keep up the wonderful work, and know our bodies at times are on their own time, that we just cannot give up on them!  Enjoy your day and weekend dear! Hugs galore, Patti

Kelly, you've  been so generously kind, supportive, and honest. I love you to pieces for being 'you!' I'm now living proof that once that 'window of opportunity' for max weight loss passes after that first year, that the tool, exercise, and positive attitude carry us farthur through this life-long journey!  Have a stupendous awesome weekend--no matter what, I know you will just BLOW them away at the wedding Saturday as you share the joyous occasion!  Am hoping and praying you'll have a pleasant reprive from the female crud!  This, too, will pass.....enjoy, enjoy!  Oceans of luv and hugs galore, Patti
