Six years ago today - July 24th

I had my gastric bypass surgery six years ago today!  I was a 'light weight' and lost 85 pounds, but regained 20.  I've developed severe hypoglycemia and my diet is severely restricted.  BUT -- you know what?  I'd do it again in a heartbeat.  There's nothing like not having your body get in your way when you need to move.  I celebrate every day that my gut doesn't hang over my pants!

Linda, I remember you from the APS forums.   Do you still do long arm quilting?   Bet it is easier to do without the extra weight!  You look marvelous!

Yes, I'm still quilting away.  Everything in life is easier without the weight.
