Dana, I'm glad it isn't your thyroid, and hope it is something that you can change, like drinking more. It's funny - I have a hard time drinking enough during the week when I'm at work, and an easier time when I'm home on the weekends. How great that you've been feeling better today - I hope that continues. The cardiologist wanted to reevaluate me 6 months from my last appt, but I see my primary on the 17th for a physical so I'll be interested in her input. It's running in the low 90s over high 50s. You have done such an inspiring job working at losing weight. The changes on your profile page are incredible. Thanks so much for responding. Deborah

How encouraging! My anniversary goal was that my BMI would be out of the overweight category, but I'm not going to make that. I see the surgeon on the 6th (wi**** was later since my first anniversary is Feb 22nd). I'm 5'9", and have gone from 305 to 170, from wearing tight 32s to 16/14s now, and I'm happy about these changes. I recognize that this next year will be telling - to strive to exercise regularly and eat nutritiously so I can become healthier and healthier. For some reason I feel that if I can handle this weight loss for a year, I'll be able to do so for a lifetime. It is amazing to me that you went from 350 to 143 in a year. WOW! Deborah

Happy Re-Birthday to you! I loved the article you wrote. WLS can be scary, but it sure is worth it, isn't it! Hugs, Susan 298/167/160
