Kat, painting? I tried that a couple of times, it looks almost like fun, until you paint a few strokes with a brush or a roller, LOL. I know Rick will be very happy and surprised.

Betty, batten down the hatches and be prepared, looks like one H of a storm. How close or far away are you from there?

Diane, are interested in a cocktail this afternoon? I'm thinking about heading your way about 11ish.

Donna, where are ya? I know school is a busy time, but don't forget about us.

Chrispy, those pictures on myspace are adoreable! What cuties!

Hugs everyone!

Hi everyone!

Im back! Had the surgery Tuesday. The actual surgery went real well, however, I did have complications. They couldn't get me out of the anesthesia and than after that I couldnt breathe on my own for about 1/2 hour, so while wide awake, they had to put me on a respirator and bag me. it was so horrible. I had to actually get their attention by writing on paper because they thought i was ok, but was actually couldnt breathe. so i ended up in ICU for the duration of my hospital stay. But I am home since wednesday and doing real well. i am moving around, able to shower and sleep and drink

i am still real excited and very optimistic about my journey!

so how are all of you?

Hey everyone, I've been thinking about all of you.

Pat, of course I wouldn't forget any of you! I'd love to have a drink sometime and don't mind driving to meet Diane.

School is still going well. I am also taking a class on Thursday nights from 4 to 7, so I've been pretty busy. I'm settling into my new school. I hope I can start cutting down on all the hours I've been working. After a lazy summer I'm struggling with these 55 hour weeks. lol

I'm due for a fill on Oct 1st. I'm thinking about calling in sick, since I'm taking off to go to UVA medical center for my husband on the 23rd of this month. Let me know if you'll be around that day. I'd love to celebrate!

Eileen- those puppies are adorable! They all look so different too!

Sherry - I'm definitely going to try that crock pot recipe. It looks delicious!

Betty- I'm glad you are healing well! Send some pics when the swelling goes down.

Michaele- good luck with your new band; I know you'll be glad you made the decision.

If I missed you, it doesn't mean I'm not thinking about you. Take care.:smile:

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
