One Year Ago...

Today is my Surgiversary....  A year ago I was recovering in Fairview Southdale after learning they had to open me up rather than do the Laproscopic route... 

I would not trade the last year for the world.  :-)

I am so much happier, healthier, and yes, younger..  :-)  I had no idea how uncomfortable I was.  I feel great, I look better and I am more comfortable in my own skin (which is good cuz there is a lot of it left over)... 

I still have another 20 pounds to go but after losing 90+ I feel good about getting rid of the rest...

I know I suck at posting here but I sure am grateful for all of thesupport and friendships I have made over the last 15 months here pre and post surgery.  You have made all the difference.  Thanks for everything and I will try to get here more often.

WOW!  A year already?  CONGRATS!

I'm glad you've had such a positive experience after a mildly rough start (if I recall).  Now POST A NEW AVATAR -   I'm SURE you've changed since this one!!!


  Imperfect does not = unsuccessful

Thanks so much guys...

I would love to add a new Avatar but I do not know hoe to reduce it to the 5 kb size they need to be.  Anyone know how to do it and is willing to help me? 

I DID put up some photos in my profile section of my progress including one from a couple of nights ago...  Feel free to take a look if you like.

Oh I am late to the party as usual, but since I talked to you on the phone I won't worry about it!

You are doing a great job.  You have continued to be a great support to me and I appreciate it beyond words.  The journey wouldn't have been the same without you.

It doesn't seem that long ago that you were out of surgery and Stacy was spooning ice chips into your mouth!  What a year and what a great gift you have given yourself.

I know you'll hit goal before you know it.  Congratulations - I love you!

Your little sister
