You know it's funny, I will never forget my starting weight of 274. I can only pray to God that I never see that weight again. What I wouldn't give to lose another 100 pounds!!!! But, the 44 I've lost so far have been very slow to leave, so I really doubt that I'll ever reach my true goal, but any loss is better than no loss at all.
Keep up the good work. Oh, and BTW, beautiful pic... You look so somber and innocent, yet gorgeous all at the same time!!!

I got a new job. I went from being a direct support professional to teaching direct support professionals. I would never have stood in front of anyone to teach before WLS now I stand in front of groups to teach them. I'd still be stuck in a rut if it weren't for WLS.

Well I have gained 2 lbs. I am hoping to loose it as water weight. But for now I am up to 180lbs. I hate when the scale goes the wrong way. I sure can tell that I am feeling better emotinally, I am back to eating again and I hate it.

For me Christmas ahs become more about family than the food I'm going to eat. Before WLS I was always concerned what I would eat andwho was bringing what...now who cares as long as I have a protein source I'm fine.

I have continued with the job I had but just recently got a part time job. I am not sure my WLS had any bearings on my getting it since the man who hired me expected me to come into the interview and hire me on the spot as the overweight person I was (he had no idea I had lost the weight). I do think people that I work with treat me differently now. Maybe it is just my imagination, not really sure.
