Hi everyone!!!

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. I cooked WAY too much and enjoyed "nibbling" all day. I spent the holiday with my soon to be husband and his family. I have alot to be thankful for this year. I am 19 months post op now and here are my stats.... Pre-op: 336 pounds and a BMI of 54.2 19 months post op: 142 pounds and a BMI of 22.9 Total weight loss: 194 pounds!!!!!!!!! Went shopping on Friday ( no not for Xmas...for ME lol) and bought a pair of SIZE 8 pants. SIZE 8 SIZE 8 SIZE 8....I am still amazed by this surgery. Yes, I have had and am still having problems but I have no doubt that this surgery saved my life. A few months ago honestly that wouldn't have mattered to me because I really didn't value my life. I went through a deep dark depression for awhile and really couldn't have cared less if I lived or not. Things sure have changed. For the first time in my life I feel like life is GREAT!! My heart issues seem to be resolved, the kids are doing great and I have met the most wonderful man in the world that treats me like a princess and I am going to marry him in a couple of weeks. The kids love him and he loves them and FINALLY I will have the family I have always wanted. Sooooo, anyway, just wanted to let all of my friends here know that you all are invited to come to the wedding on December 16th @ 4:00 pm. If you want to come e-mail me your address (if you want a paper invite) or just ask me for the details and I will let ya know. I am so excited and would love to have you all there!! I miss you guys so much. I think about all of you everyday and continue to add you to my prayers every night. If you hadn't been here for me the past two years I doubt I would be here today. I am so thankful and grateful. I love you guys very much!! Shree
