New pitcures on my profile

hi all, Wanted to update and let you all know I finally got some new pics on line along with a before picture. I am doing good its been a rough June and looking forward to July and hoping for much less life drama! weight seems to be coming off but slower. I find it a bit harder to keep the eating undercontrol then earlier on but still loosing slow but sure. total of 60 lbs now and I am really working on the eating part. Kelly says I am really doing fine but I know I want to eat more then I allow myself.  need to get my blood draw if I can remember to go in before I eat one morning. but dr Jan is very happy with things and says I can see him on my one year as long as I dont have any problems. i am still loosing hair like crazy. I remember thinking before surgery that If I was loosing weigt I would not care. I still would make the same choice but I am looking forward to washng my hair and not having a handful to throw away. I was very fortunate to Draw a Cow tag for Elk hunting season. It has been a couple of years since I have even thought about hunting as I just slowed everyone down. This year I am wanting to start training and be stronger than the rest of the lady elk hunters. One of them is 22 so I have my work ahead of me :)  I am looking forward to July want to do some camping and get away more.  I miss breakfast with you all but honestly dont know when I will have a weekend free until maybe end of July. I will be in Lincoln city on the weekend after the 4th the 7th and 8th so if anyone else will be out there we can have breakfast. Take care of yourselves Kelly

Wow Kelly!  Your pictures are great!  You look as though you are doing very well.  Losing slowly is probably a good thing -- you won't get as light-headed and such.  I'm a little worried about the hairloss thing myself.  I have a lot of hair, but it is very fine, so I imagine that if I lose much of it, it will look like I have none!  I'm trying to get ready for my surgery in a little less than four weeks.  I managed to find some of those little Gladware containers yesterday.  I've been told to blend up some of the healthy request soups and freeze them in small portions for when I get home from the hospital.  I'm relieved that I can have soup, as I hear so many folks complain about just eating jello, pudding, and popsicles.  I would think that sweet stuff all the time would drive me nuts too. I also like to go hunting -- more for the camping, being out in the wilderness, and companionship than anything else.  I did shoot a deer once, and I don't think I could ever do it again.  I wish you luck in the hunt and hope you feel in tip-top shape when you go. Hope to meet you some day! Linda
