I am keeping to my new Years resolution and increasing my workouts and eating better. I am still having trouble getting weight off but my body is changing. Getting firmer, stronger and less floppy. I am going to look into the tummy tuck later in the summer after I get these last 30 pounds off. I am feeling lonely these days, and its finally hit me that I am not okay ALONE anymore. I want to be more social and find that special man in my life. I miss Hugs and kisses and being important to someone. I Love who I am, and know I have a lot to share with someone. Its just so many of the men I meet just want a one night stand and cant really understand the life of a WLS post op. My dream would be to meet a sweet, honest loving kind post op who has been where I have been. Who can understand saggy baggy tummy skin and appreciate it. LOL

Have a wonderful Feb.. Love and hugs to all,

Miss Laura

I guess I am feeling on the sentimental side tonight. Gearing up for the new year and looking forward to more new beginnings. I am newly comitted to losing these last 30 pounds and being at my goal of 120 pounds by the time I see Dr Mikami for my 2 year check up in May. I am going Monday to pay for my membership to the Amerihost and I am going to gather all my water aerobic gear and get back in the swing of things. I had never felt better in all my life  than I did when I was swimming every day. I would do 45 mins of water aerobics, weight training with my water weights, running in the water, playing with my son, stretching and then running on the treadmill, eliptical machine, and doing some lifting. I felt energized and so very happy with my life. I cant understand why I stopped going to the gym and settling into old habits again. But tomorrow is a new day.. And I am still going to make that goal of 120. It may have taken me longer to get there than I had expected, but I will make it.  

I feel so blessed to have the support of my OH family. The conference in Cols last month was awesome. I met some new friends that have made my world a better place. Tabitha you were the best roomate ever. Deb you are a hoot and a sweetheart of a lady. Earl, what a cutie.. I wish I hadnt been so shy that night.. LOL

Well I think thats all for now. I will keep you informed of my progress as I renew my committment to being the best possible Laura I can be in 2007.

Lots of Love and Hugs
Miss Laura

I am so very happy that I made the choice and gained approval to have this surgery that has saved my life. I saw my surgeon last Monday 11/14/05 and he was thrilled to tears ( literally) at my sucess and didnt even begin to recognize me. He told me I was his biggest 6 month loser ever with no complications.. And my lab work/ bp/cholesterol etc were all PERFECT. So I am doing well nutritionally even though I am losing so rapidly. I feel incredible and havent looked this good EVER!!!

I started out at 310 on May 5th 2005 and I am 160 pounds today. My original weight goal from the surgeon was to be 180 at one year. And my personal goal was 140. Now he and I both agreed that 125 is an achievable goal for both of us. So I am hoping when I go back in May thats were I am close to... And then we can start talking Panniculectomy... Whooooo Hooo...

Love and Hugs to all,
Dory
