Just an update
Jan 13, 2010
I am continuing to lose weight although it has slowed down alot!! I have lost from about 400 pounds in May of 2008 to 229 in January of 2010. I lost about 70 pounds before surgery and over a hundred since surgery in March 2009. I had hoped to be in onderland at New Years, but didn't make it. My goal is to reach 170, my goal weight, by the time I graduate
from college in May 2010. Dr. Cook said I have already done enough to be considered very successful, but I want more!!!!! 
or less???? 
Anyhow I am very happy with my new physical condition. The weird part is all the little things I didn't expect like not being the biggest person in the room, being able to park further away from the store, even just having the option of walking. I can reach all my parts without straining! I have noticed people looking at me, I ask my husband "do I look funny or have spinach in my teeth?" He replies that people are looking at me because I look good, not bad or funny. I have never known that before.
I can wear heels, I bought a pair of red suede heels, and sorta strut
when I wear them. I can't believe this is me. Part of me thinks I will wake up and it will have all been a dream. I really thought my life was about to end, not that I was going to experience this second chance!
