The weight I have lost is since my heaviest not from surgery, but I am happy no matter how I lost it!! Now I can re-focus and work harder from this point forward.
I have not been this small for at least 10 years, I find myself flying up the stairs. lol
My husband and I went and bought new bicycles, yes MY HUSBAND!! Mr. negativity!
He has done a complete turn around, he is so sweet and wonderful. I think he likes his woman smaller and feeling better.
I have some problems with dumping, but other than that I feel really good. I feel better at 44 than I did at 34. If you have followed me at all, I gave up Diet Coke. I drank a lot of Diet Coke! Well I had one the other day, it was okay. No pain, or bloating, it was okay. But I prefer my water to the Diet Coke! Awesome huh?!
I wish all of you the very best, drop me a line sometime!

I have done the Miralax, I have the worst dry mouth, and I am as jumpy as a cricket in a lizard cage. It must be surgery day... My husband is working part of the day, maybe I should have done that too, but my job makes me very thirsty and well we know the rest. So I have been doing last minute laundry and cleaning this place a little bit, not like it's gonna be the same when I get home...lol
I am thinking to myself, this is it, from here on out the weight will only be going down. What an awesome thought. I think I actually heard my joints cheer! I told my husband we have to take some pics before we leave today, he doesn't get it. He said I am living it, so I don't need pics. I will hand him the camera and say just take some pics...
But aside from him, my friends have come out of the woodwork. You know that commercial, I told two friends and so on... Well I told my two closest friends, guess I didn't say "please keep it to yourself".  I have been getting phone calls and e-mails, it's okay I guess because the friends that are calling, we go cycling with every weekend. It sure is nice to have all this support and friendship, it makes a person's heart melt.
It is a rainy windy day here in Wisconsin, the rain will wash away all the mess from the winter. So mother earth can have a fresh start, just as I can!!
So fellow OHers I thank-you so much for your support and I will be back on as soon as I can!

Wow I can't believe it, but it's finally here. I went to St. Paul today for my 3 hour seminar, it's mandatory before you have surgery. They went through a lot of things, everything from the registration to when they kick you out the door...lol I will say all of you here at OH have gotten me pretty well prepared, I knew a lot more than the rest of my group. My nurses were really impressed, they asked me where I was getting my information, when I told them, they said this is an excellent web site.
So after my hour and a half drive home I was bouncing of the walls, I just needed to expel some of the energy I didn't use today. But it was snowing outside, like an inch an hour, so I did my wii fit instead of walking. I love the advanced step, gets the heart pumping and the sweat rolling.
My cold is holding on, but I think it's close to it's end. Lord I pray it is anyway. The nurse told me as long as I don't develop a fever and don't get the chest crud, I will be okay for surgery.
So this week has been a wow week for me...I have went from 30 or so cigarettes a day down to 2-3 a day. (Pretty good huh?) And I have finished tapering off of my Diet Coke...I use to drink 10-12 cans a day, now it's water, crystal light, and light fruit juices.
I think I have entered angel status   hehe don't believe everything ya read......lol
Well my friends, I am off to read the boards and do some chatting. God I love this place. lol  So if you have the memory, the time, and the connections....say a little prayer for me on Monday!
Thanks so much!
