I Love My Scale

A Few More

Down 140 lbs baby!! Almost there! After my plastics later this year, I'm gonna be one hot bitch. All of those men that never gave me a chance before.. sorry about your luck! This ride is closed to you :) Need to find me a GOOD one this time!

6 Months Post-Op

...and 130 lbs gone forever. What an amazing year this has been. Awesome family, great friends, excellent travels! I've done more traveling this past year than I have in my life. Next trip is in April 2008. Flying in to San Diego, and going on a cruise to Mexico with my best friends! Christmas fever has started too. Went out on black Friday and spent a LOT of money, but got some excellent gifts at even better prices! Life is good :)

Missed me didn't ya??

Greetings again from the Hoosier state. I'm finally back after being on hiatus for several weeks. I had my surgery on May 22, 8 days sooner than scheduled. Everything went well, but the recovery has been quite an interesting ride. Every day is better than the one before though, woohoo for that. My first official post-op doctor appointment is June 7. We'll know how it's going after that one.
I can't believe it's June already! FYI, my birthday is June 28, so mark your calendars! How old? 34 baby! It's time for swimming season, so as soon as the rain decides to subside, I'll be outside getting the pool filled and ready to go! Swimming is great exercise ya know, especially since I'll be able to do some laps.
I also need to start the family reunion planning. It's set for July 22. I've handled it every year, so just because I had surgery doesn't make this year any different. I've decided to change up the menu this year, and go for fried chicken instead of the usual hamburgers and hotdogs. The theme will probably just be red/white/blue. I've done luau, 50's, and everything sparkly themes so far. Decorations can and DO get expensive, especially since I pay for everything. It's worth it in the end. Lots of family, and meeting some for the first time.
That's it for now, nothing else to report. No decent dreams to speak of lately. Chris Noth still rocks me though. Ciao!

A New Me

Greetings from nowhere. Just here with a little announcement. On Wednesday, May 30 I will be undergoing an invasive surgery called Biliopancreatic Diversion with Duodenal Switch. In short, it's simply the DS. It is a decision I made a long time ago, and finally am able to pursue it. My life will drastically change over the next several months, but my attitude will remain the same. Hopefully anyway. It is a scary idea for me to take on this kind of change, but it is something I MUST do. I'm not doing it for you, my family, or my friends. I'm doing it for ME. So for the next 75 days I'm going to be a nervous wreck, yet waiting patiently. I hope those of you that read this can understand, and will stand beside me in this journey. Have a wonderful day...
