that's right, you heard me
it's been 5 years since i took that stretcher down the long hallway!!
hard to believe!!
life is soooo different before and after being sleeved
too many NSV's to shake a stick at
newbies et al, you'll be amazed with changes in your life
health issues improved, or are gone
that's the main reason i had WLS
the fact that i look like a hot sexy grammy doesn't hurt!!
losing weight has been one of the highlights of my life
i can't imagine my life today or tomorrow as a "heavier"" person
life didn't start once i reached GOAL
life began the first day at GOAL
also called MAINTENANCE !!!
one of the few things i still can't do??
leap tall building
i still can not touch my tongue to my nose
rub my new tummy , pat my head clockwise
chew gum standing on one foot
but.... still working on it!!!
most anything else i can do LOL
i have good, better, and a couple of "not so good times!!
life can't be fixed as a "thinner" person
comes pretty darn close!!
i used to be 5"3' - now i am 6" tall!!!
i was turning 58 years OLD DOS

bringing me health, happiness, and success
