Kristen: Now that you've been a successful WLS patient - -

what are you going to do?!? I'M GOING TO DISNEYWORLD!!!! Yeehaw!! This is my present to myself for losing 150 pounds, and [almost] being a year out. I figure an extra long weekend of sun, cute boys and rollercoasters that i can FIT INTO will be a perfect celebration. Rollercoasters have been on my list of goals since I first started this whole thing - and I haven't tried them out yet. I figure if i'm gonna go to an amusement park - i might as well make it the best one in world. I can't wait for all of you newbies out there to start your journey. This has been the best year of my life, and it's only getting better. much love! kristen*

Kristen: Congratulations on your SUCCESS!!!!!!! I agree, this has been a great year and I'm so happy I had the surgery. I'm almost 5 months out and its been incredible. Have fun in Disney World! Kelli

ps! i saw Dr. Roye on Friday for what was supposed to be my 9 month follow up - but it's more like 11 months at this point. the offical count is: -149 pounds. Although, my my scale it should be -152. I was not happy to see those extra 3 pounds, let me tell you. LOL but even more importantly, my blood work was perfect! Which, honestly, i was a little scared to hear about because i've been very bad about taking my vitamins. I told him that, and he yelled at me for it - but he said he was glad that i told him as it shows him that I am eating right - otherwise, my levels could be in the toilet. But yes, I'm going to be better about taking my vitamins. they are now all laid out across my bathroom shelf ANd my monitor at work - so now I can't avoid them. i promise! ciao!

Kristen, What great news!!!! I try to go to WDW about 2 or 3 times a year, so if you need any help planning your trip PM me. I always love talking Disney, there a few great sites that have wonderful resources and savings codes too. Have a MAGICAL DAY!!!! Paula

Good for you Kristen! That is exactly what I plan on doing with my family next October. I know I may not exactly be at goal, but I will be 100lbs down and should be able to have fun....It is amazing how many doors open once you lose weight. When are you going?

Good for you Kristen!!!! I can't wait ........3 weeks from today before becoming a loser. I can't wait to go back to universal and be able to walk all day without everything aching, oh and fitting in an airplane seat will be nice too.. Awesome present and well deserved!!!!! Keep up the good work...and happy belated birthday. Melissa

YEAH Kristen - have fun meeting the mouse!!!
