My one year follow up (This is really really long)

Damn it Pam, here I sit at work with tears in my eyes first thing this morning!! I am sooo happy for you - for all of  your wonderful efforts, successes, support and for being someone we all admire and look up to. And I'm so happy to hear that your labs and everything else is great and that you can start thinking about having a family - that is incredible and I know I'll cry the day I see the post that you're 'preggers'!!

Congratulations on a fantastic year with your WLS - I know you've had a rough time in some other areas of your life, but yesterday had to be one of the best days you've ever had. And now you have a new job, a new home and a whole new life to look forward to. Things will turn around for hubby - maybe the move and new location will be just what he needs as well.

Well apparantly I have a whole bunch of people crying at their desks today!  The corporate world is full of bosses going "what theh hell is going on?"  Blame the not for long jersey girl!

It's definately been a rollercoaster ride both physically, emotionally, personally, and professionally -but I wouldn't give any of it up for a second.   Not with such a great group of support!!

Thanks Kathy!

Pam

Oh Pam, your wonderful life is why I am addicted to being here. I first came to this home back in January 2005. And I can't leave. I can't leave because of friends like you and the stories that provide so much learning, inspiration and support. You my dear have been a whirlwind for this group. You have given so much and still you have so much more to give. I look forward to every morsel. Yummmmmmmm

Dennis

PS - And you too Brian!

I can't leave, either Dennis.  You guys are stuck with me :)  You, along with the other vets which I won't name out of fear of forgetting each and every one of you important people, along with all the "newer" friends we have made has made this journey so incredibly "easy" even when it was hard.

Thanks Dennis.

You got me all teary-eyed now because of the baby news.  I am soooooooooo happy for you.  That is great news!!!  Good luck.  And have fun trying !!!

An inspiration to you just sounds funny to me - little miss 2 pounds below target weight over 200 pounds lost in a year!  Talk about an inspiration, my lord woman!

I'm pretty excited about the baby news.  Now on to practicing!
