updating three....
I haven't been around much with my current two job schedule and of course the kids, the return to school shopping, the house, etc.... I sure hope somebody has missed me?!? 
Anyways, I will be 8 weeks out tomorrow. I weighed on Wednesday and I have lost 42 pounds. I feel great - no problems - eating normal high protein foods in small quantities of course - drinking fine - getting 70 to 80 grams of protein a day - went back to Curves and started working out again. My only problem in all of this has been neck and now back pain that I can not seem to explain - my doc has me scheduled for physical therapy starting Monday so hopefully that will all be better soon.
I have to say I feel kind of behind the weight loss curve - I have been reading posts where people who had the surgery the same time I did and they have lost plenty of more weight than I have and I guess in a way I am disapointed, but telling myself every day that my body is different from everybody elses and I WILL LOSE IT, but only on my body's schedule and nobody elses.
I am hoping to take some new pictures this weekend and I am also thinking about going after work on Saturday night to an all Lesbian Dance Party at a local club. I am really nervous about this and afraid that I will just stand up against the wall and not feel comfortable enough to enjoy myself or be too nervous to even talk to anybody. Do you think I would be making a mistake going alone? Do you think I should go at all? I want to "get out there", but still wonder if I am ready.
Well, Congratulations to everybody on your weight loss and good luck to those about to have surgery. It is an awesome feeling.

Hi Rachelle - thank you so much! I was beginning to wonder if I had done something wrong since nobody responded. I'm glad to know somebody missed me.
I have really enjoyed this ride and even managed to get up enough gumption to go to a Lesbian Dance Party in Charlottesville over the weekend. It was so much fun and I danced for two straight hours - first time I have been dancing in about 5 years.
Hugs,
Andrea
Andrea, I wouldn't take it personally. This board is a slow one...not many participants.
Congrats on going to the dance....and dancing for 2 hours. I used to love to dance.
BTW, your new pics look great. What a difference in you already! Keep up the good work. Hopefully I'll join you on the losing side sometime next year.
Rachelle
I sure hope you get to come to the losing side sometime next year, but either way don't let that stop you from dancing. You aren't all that far from where I live - we have a great club in town - they are private and stay open until 4am - anytime you wanna go dancing just give me a shout!
Hugs,
Andrea
