RNY on 12/01/06 with
Good Morning and Happy New Year 2009 California!
       
D and I toasted the new year last night early and were snug as bugs in a rug when midnight came.

Hope all of you had a great evening and are ready to face 2009, and better days ahead, this morning. Any hangovers out there? LOL

D is busy in the kitchen baking his famous chili relleno casserole and coffee cake for our new year brunch at Mom's today. I'm ready to hit the coffee pot for another cup before the Rose Parade starts in a few minutes.

So, as promised, here is the total number for the pounds lost in 2008 as reported on the Whacky Weigh-In Wednesday posts.

Are you ready?

The total lost is a staggering.....


                           - 1985.78!!!


Wow, was there ever some tool rockin' going on with this group in 2008 huh? Congratulations to all of us on this great accomplishment and never, ever, for one minute, take this WLS blessing for granted. I know for me it is the single most important thing I have ever done for myself in my whole life. I am healthier, more active, happier and feel more blessed than I ever have before. I hope that is true for everyone else here who has had this surgery. For those of you in the dugout waiting for your turn at bat never despair and if you must jump through the hoops, keep fighting the system and keep your goal in sight until you get to the operating table and join us on the Loser's Bench.

OK folks, time for Steve to head off to watch the parade now.

Once again, HAPPY NEW YEAR one and all!

Good Morning Steve,

WOW that is alot of pounds!  I watched the parade this morning at 8, and now my dad is watching reruns.  Was really a nice parade, but I can see me later today upstairs watching TV, it's football day!  I don't like college bowls, only pro games.  Anyway, everyone have a very Happy New Year.  Steve, have a great time at your moms today, love to you and D.

Love you, Diane
