it has been a while

Hello everyone out there! Well everything is going great here. I am down to 164. That is a wonderful number, and weight that starts with a 1 makes me happy. Well I have great news, my wonderful husband has decided that he is ready to have the surgery too. I am soo very proud of him. The other day I just asked him if he had given any thought to it and he said he had. I called the surgeons office and they have changed the way they operate a little. They now make you have a referral from your primary Dr. They had so many people coming in and they hadn't even talked to their Dr. yet.
That's OK cause he has an apt. with our primary Tues. morning. I am excited for him, I really am. He weighs about 340, and at the age of 30 is on blood pressure meds and cholesterol meds.
 That is a lot for someone that just turned 30. We asked our kids the other night what they thought of daddy having surgery to make his tummy smaller like mommy did and the 3 year old looked at me and said "you still have a tummy", gotta love small children. Our 6 year old was very excited. He said then daddy will be able to play with me more. I think that stuck a nerve in my husband. I dint think he realized that my son has noticed daddy doesn't play enough.
I myself will be happy to see him healthy. He lost his dad almost 5 years ago now due to heart problems. His dad had his first heart attack in his late 30's. I told him the other night that I loved him and I didn't want his kids to remember their daddy in a hospital bed with tubes. I want them to remember a fun healthy daddy. Have I mentioned how proud of him I am?lol
He is a great man,husband,father and friend. He has always been there for me and now it's my turn to be there for him, He took such great care of me when I had my surgery, he slept on uncomfortable cots in the hospital, walked the halls with me and made me soup when we came home, I love him soo much. I can't wait till we are both on the loosing side together.
He is my hero for so many reasons and this is just another thing to add to the list. He's brave and strong and I love him for that.

OK enough of the mushy stuff. I will keep you all posted on his progress. As for me I feel great!! I am now into a size 12 14 and it is wonderful. I have cleaned out all the clothes from the dresser and closet that were my fat clothes. Wow you never really know how big you are till you try on the old clothes. I was a BIG mama!!! heehee
But any who knock on wood everything is great. Well almost everything, I have to go for a MRI on Monday, the top of my right thigh is numb my Doc thinks it is my L5 in my back. I'm sure its nothing big.

Here is a little list of things I have done since I have lost weight

Jumped into a pool and not worried about the size of the splash
wore a 2 piece bathing suite
went to EPCOT and rode rides and I fit
rode in a plane and fit in my own seat and not anyone Else's
have gone out dancing
rode on the back of my hubby's Harley and fit and it was WONDERFUL...
I can now fit my mothers clothes....

I cant wait for the list to grow!
