Hi again:  It has been awhile since I posted.  The holidays came and went without many problems for me food wise.  I have lost my urge to eat sweets, thank goodness.  I am still craving munchies though but doc said popcorn was okay - I melt some cheese on it and get some protein :-)  I rarely cook - too much for just 1 person.  

I am now in a size 12-14 which is totally wonderful!  Had my 6 mos checkup and doc said I was right where I was supposed to be.  Need to lose another 20-30 lbs by June so don't think that will be hard although I am in another plateau.  I seem to drop 3 lbs at a time but at least I am dropping.  At 58 I am really shrivelling up but beats the alternative.  Trying to figure out how to wear a swimsuit without showing my Incredible Sagging Body - my legs look horrible.  So guess I'll just swim at night so no one can see me - LOL

I am also posting some pics of myself and my grandbaby Sydney who is already 22 mos old but I love that stage.  She is so cureous and talks a mile a minute.  Make sure you check out her beautiful blue eyes.  Talk to you soon and I hope you are doing well with your weight loss adventure!!

Thursday 11-09 I was in the hospital thrift store looking over things.  This older gentleman (bout 85) started talking to me about his 3 ex-wives and the story of each divorce and how much money he had at that time implying he was still wealthy.  I listened to him very patiently cause I could tell he needed to talk.  Then he said I was a pretty lady and would I like to go out to dinner with him to a Mexican restaurant.  I was floored!!! LOL  He said he felt like getting on his knees and proposing - talk about a desperate man - sad he is so lonely in elder years but no way am I going out with a man almost 30 yrs my senior!! They say men like to date older women but this woman doesn't like to date older men!!!  Actually I am quite happy being single.

Then I got home and thought hmmm - 85 - rich with one foot in the grave and one on a banana peel.  Too bad I didn't get his number - ROFLMAO.  Hope that cheered up your day.

I am now in a size 14-16 and way 192 - close to the 80's now -  My surgery was 6-15n - down 60 lbs.  I went to pcp yesterday and had blood tests taken - waiting to hear the results and if I have any deficiencies yet or hopefully none.

That's all for now - check out my new pics!  Hugs

My mother celebrated her 89th birthday on Sunday with the entire Colorado family - myself, my family - my sister, her family.  Total of  16 people!  We have a great family :-)

My brother-in-law Gary told me when I walked in " I didn't recognize you".  What a sweetheart he is. I got lots of compliments from my sister's family since it had been a few months since we have seen each other. My sister Carol and Gary were there for my surgery and gave me great support at the hospital and it was great support to my daughter Suzanne who would have been alone waiting and she was nervous about the WLS.

Getting back to the birthday party.  I was talking to my niece Cara and her 6 yr old son Tegan came up - I asked him for my hug and he gave it to me freely.  We have become close since he was born.  I went to talk to other members of the family and Tegan asked his mom who I was!!!  Talk about out of the mouth of babes - guess I do look a little different.  Thank God!!!  It was also easy to pass up the birthday cake after that terrific compliment.

I pray daily for this wonderful opportunity of Lap RNY and no longer taking diabetic meds, high cholesterol meds and acid reflux meds.  I have lost 60 lbs in 4 mos - something that would be impossible to do in my old life.

I wish you great success in your weight loss journey.
