My surgiversary is next month. I don't know what I want to do for it, I know I want to celebrate somehow, someway. I am seeing my surgeon on my actual 1 year surgiversary, but that's not really celebrating, especially when they take 10-12 vials of blood! LOL... I'll have to think about this... maybe I can set up some quality time with my "friend" Gary, who knows, maybe by then we'll be officially dating?! That would be a great way to celebrate!

I hope you're doing something fun, Debi!
My driving force behind my decision to have WLS was my nephews - I had a four-year-old nephew that is the love of my life (next to my daughter), and then my sister had twin boys. I could barely get up off the floor when I sat down with them, and knew that it wouldn't be long before I wouldn't be able to keep up with them at all. I figured if I was going to continue to babysit for them as often as I did, I needed to lose weight. I take them at least once a week now, and love my time with them. One of the twins (now three) asks his mom every night if it's "date night" (my night with them), and when she says no, he says "dang it!". I love that!!!
Weight-wise, at my psyche evaluation, I told him I'd be "ecstatic" at 150 - I don't know why I pulled that number out of the air, but it sounded good. I got there for awhile, and felt too thin! My BMI says I'm at the high end of overweight right now, but I wear a size four. I'm happy with anything between 153 and 157 (which I'm working back toward now!!)
My goal now is just to stay in my size fours - so when they get snug, I get serious again.

Wow - I thought hard about this one, trying to remember what I'd done for myself for either of my surgiversaries, and it occurred to me that I "celebrate" them almost as one does the anniversary of a death... as the date gets closer, and for days afterward, I think about it, but reflect on it within myself. I wonder if, deep inside, I'm mourning the loss of the "old Jean", however happy I am to be the "new Jean". Weird....
