Just an update
Hello everyone. Sorry I haven't been on here much. I've updated my profile. But I just wanted to come and see how everyone has been doing.
I saw Dr. Hruska today. I had my surgery a little over 4 months ago. I've lost 85 pounds since surgery for a total of 92 pounds (because I lost 7 before surgery). So I have finally reached my first goal......to be under 400 pounds. I am so excited that I have done this. I just want to dance, so everyone can dance with me too... Speaking of dancing, I have a song that I just love now. It really goes along with my journey into a new life. It's called "I'm Coming Out" by Diana Ross. Maybe I should go now and put the lyrics on my profile.
Does anyone else have a song that is your "new theme song" to go along with your journey?
I saw Susan Russell today. She looked well. So Susan if you are reading this....I wanted to wish you well on your journey and tell you it was nice to meet you.
After I lose some more weight I think I'll update my picture so everyone can see what I look like now.
Best of luck to all of the new people here. I wish you well on your journey.
And Merry Christmas to everyone.

-85 pounds, total 92 gone
That is FANTASTIC, Julie!!!! You are truly an inspiration. I cannot wait until I am under 400. Hopefully by the time of my next follow-up. I got excellent news myself yesterday. I lost a total of 31.5 pounds in 11 days! That was a shock. It does not feel as if I have lost that much.
As for a theme song, I am trying to think of one.
Keep in touch.

Congradulations Julie! I am so happy for you! Keep up the great work and don't wait till long to update. I lost 18lbs preop and 50lbs after surgery. My weight is not as fast as I want it but I am happy to be in size 18's for the first time in over 10yrs or more. I do not go back to see Dr. Hruska until Feb. I hope to be under 200 by then. I am 211 now. We'll see. Keep up the great weight loss! 92 lbs is fantastic!
