Coming up for air!!!/8 month update

Moving and then having no internet/cable/ or phone other than cell phones can be the pits. Thank goodness for our mifi. It allows both Charles and I to get online at the same time. We just have to be careful using it. Limited amount of bandwidth each month.

And the cable company told us while our address is servicable, the house itself has never had cable. So we are on the list for major construction...we don't pay for it in anything but time. They mentioned FORTY-FIVE days!!!

Okay, today I am 8 months out...I'm down 4 lbs THIS month. I weighed 136.2 this morning...Signed into the surgeon's office at 208, that is a loss of 71.8 lbs since surgery and a total of pre-op and post op weight loss of 108.8. I've also lost 1.5 inches this month and 50.56 inches since surgery.

I'm LOVIN' MY DS!!!

Thanks, Fran, I appreciate it.

It hasn't been hard at all...and best of all, I now eat as I normally did pre-op (avoided carbs then too) except in MUCH smaller portions.

Wow you've done so well. Congratulations!

Moving is a really disorienting experience, but fun.

Congrats, Liz!!!! I am having cable/internet/land line negotiations with my husband now... It's so expensive and there are not a lot of options around our area. You and Charles have had a busy year for sure!!!!!!
