It's been a year and 3 months since I posted. In that time I have dropped out of school and gotten divorced, finished a year long small group counseling session, ran/walked a 5 k, started dating again, and have become generally a happy smiling person. I havent lost really any  more weight, but i havent gained any either. Even training for the 5K didnt bring weight off me and I was working out 6 days a week.  My body just doesnt want to be overweight, it likes obese. I am still happy with the way I look and am still trying to get those same 20 pounds off. The good news is I did not gain any weight in the divorce or the ensuing year.  Life is good. I will continue to train to run an entire 5K without walk intervals required.  My friends are encouraging me to run a 10 K and shoot for a 1/2 marathon but come on ...Im 52 years old. If I do get there then great, if I only run 5Ks I am still great.  Life is good on this side of the losers bench.  Dont worry I will go back to school, I have two semesters to get my Masters so when the money is there, I will return.  To all those struggling to make the decision for WLS or not, I say go for it. It is a lot of hard work though, but the rewards are tremendous.  In 3 months it will be 3 years and everyday i thank God for Dr. Blaney and Trinity Bariatrics.
