11 MONTHS!

Nov 14, 2011

WOW....people keep coming into the bank saying "Damn James, you;re still losing weight...you better slow down before we can't see you anymore!" Secret is...I'm still settling & redistributing and I'm wearing shirts that fit...the fact is last month I got down to 222...but it was after a couple of restaurant visits and a stomach bug that had things sailing thru rather quickly (sorry for the graphics!) but a week or so later I bumped back up to 230...even crept to 334 one day...back down to 227 this morning...Seven more pounds to first goal...final goal is 205-210 w/skin removal next year....

One really cool thing...I speak at the monthly seminar my surgeons hold at the hospital...where prospective patients must attend before getting an appointment in the office. I walk up on stage either wearing my biggest suit that was a bit tight...and do a little strip tease...or carry it up and put it on to show how much I've changed...always gets ooohhhs, aaahhhsss..and a round of applause...I'm such a ham!  Our Support Group Coordinator Julie Nolan and I talk a little about our journeys, encourage support group attendance (they must attend a minimum of two before surgery) and then we field questions 'from the audience'...well...next month is actually on my 1 year Surgiversary date...12/14! It's going to be AWESOME!
