4. Love the fall!!!! Getting ready to decorate the front porch. And get some pumpkins. Walking more now that I am not working. Ran a bit the other day and it felt great Then i stepped off the second stair in the garage and thought i was in the first and hurt my ankle. Ugh. I'll try resting it a bit before jogging again.

Thanks for starting this thread... its fun to get to know more about you guys.. I read everyday, but I don't post much because I dont feel I have add yet. But I certainly like hearing all your support and Miles and menues and the Sunday weigh in... I think I will participate in that tomorrow!
1. I had a sleeve a couple of weeks ago... Down about 13 pounds and loving it!
2. I Live just north of Atlanta in Marietta and just recently (last February) bought a cabin in Blue Ridge, Ga. that we go to every weekend and just love it.
3. I live with DH and have 2 girls in college. My husband has 7 grandchildren, some of them my daughters age..DH is retired and well somebody's gotta work so I still do. lol (but I love my job)
4. I love this time of year especially with the cabin which is on top of a mountain with a gorgeous veiw. We have lots of company coming in every weekend in October, Several who like to hike, so I hope to get out alot and enjoy the fall. I have been doing yard work today, and the bugs seem to be a bit better already.

I had a DS in 2002 and in 2010 I had a revision to lengthen the common channel and get more restriction. I should just say restriction because I never had any to begin with. My doctor revised my sleeve to a RNY pouch.
2. What part of the country do you live in?
I live in Portland, Oregon, which is in the Pacific Northwest. I grew up in Southern California so it was a big adjustment.
3. Who lives with you? Family, extended family?
It's just me and my 17 year old daughter for now and if she doesn't straighten up it will be just me after next year. I also have 6 furry babies, 4 dogs and 2 cats. The cats weren't my best thought out decision.
4. How is your life changing with the change of seasons?
Well, I used to love summer and the hot weather but ever since I got older and menopause I hate the heat. I just can't tolerate it. I had my revision in the summer and it was the first time I wasn't too hot. I think the hormone dump from the weight lost released enough estrogen that I didn't have as many hot flashes, but this year if it gets above 75 I am miserable. I actually am looking forward to the colder weather. Nothing I like better then getting up and bundling up in my fuzzy robe and slipper and sipping a hot protein coffee. For me it is easy to warm up then it is to cool down.
WLS 10/28/2002 Revision 7/23/2010
High Weight (2002) 240 Revision Weight (2010) 220 Current Weight 115.
I find that hot drinks heat me up and cold cools me down. Sometimes too much. I have a hard time drinking warm stuff in the summer and cold stuff in the winter these days.

I live in a northeastern suburb of Atlanta.
I have 3 kids (1 in college in MA and 2 at home), divorced
I LOVE the Fall! I bought some more Halloween decorations today to add to my collection and am fighting myself on putting them out. Our rule (that I made up) is that they can go up no earlier than October 1st, so I wait. I am currently working full-time and in my 2nd year of nursing school (also full-time), so I'm not really going to be enjoying much of anything between now and May, except during my Christmas break. I dream of having a mountain cabin but that will have to wait until I'm done with school.

2. What part of the country do you live in? It depends - I live in Northern VA and Southern MI... weather is very different between the 2
3. Who lives with you? Family, extended family?- Just me.. no kids, no furrbabies
4. How is your life changing with the change of seasons? - I HATE the cold. . MI winters (as well as Va) are bitter to me. Heat is ok, but Va summers are brutal - 100 degree heat with humidity is miserable. I do like the cooler temps (80's) and HATE thinking winter is just around the corner. I'd be a wonderful Snowbird... I've already retired once and ready to retire again...
Heard on the radio in Va that the 70 degree "fall' days they will get and I'm thinking "heck - that's Michigan summers!" LOL
