Sorry it's been so long!!

I know, I know! I'm a terrible blogger!! The holidays just got so very busy! Yikes!!

Just a quick update, and I'll try to come back soon and post an updated picture! Deal?

Well, at the risk of sounding repetative, I won't mention again how happy and excited I am about having this surgery!! I absolutely love it! (oh wait! There I go again!) haha! I just can't say enough about it! People used to tell me, "I'd do it all over again!", and to be honest with you.. I kind of figured they were in that category that it's just been too long and they forgot what the early days were like! Because this was my assumption, for a couple months, I totally braced myself for something they all failed to remember!!! LOL!!! But nope!! Still loving it!! It's the best thing I ever did!!

For those of you getting ready to have surgery... It's a wild ride! Depending on how you do with surgery will, of course, decide what the first few weeks will be like. (I had no complications! But there are some small setbacks like stenosis that I must give an honerable mention) but once you are through the recovery phase, you will enter something like a "euphoria" phase! It's amazing to watch/feel that weight falling off! I went from a good hefty size 18..and in 4 months I'm in a size 10 (some 8's)!!! I've lost 65 lbs and it's still coming off! My goal is 30 lbs to go, and I feel so blessed and fortunate to be 30 lbs from my goal in only 4 months!!!

EVERYTHING changes! I've already mentioned the obvious dress sizes... But I went from a size 10 shoe to a 7 1/2 - 8! My ring size went from a very tight 7 1/2 to a loose 5 1/2! I'm talking everything! Not to mention energy levels, moods, marriage, etc!!! All for the good!!!!

It's an Awesome ride!!!

Buh-bye for now!!
