Well at six months I finally was brave enough to post before and current pictures. All my blood work for 6 month check up came back good. cholesteral still a little higher than PCP wants it to be but is slowly going down.
HDL =43.9
LDL=122
total 198

I have lost 67 pounds and have gone from a tight size 24 w to a loose 20w in bottoms. In tops I have gone from a 3x to an x-large in misses. Bra has gone from 44d to 40c. Due to my previous breast cancer I have one boob smaller than the other but who cares not me. I am getting healthy and that is all that matters.

My goal for 2009 is to go slow but to eat correctly, drink, take vitamins daily and exercise at least 5 times a week. My birthday is January 15 and I would like to be at 265 which is only a 2pound loss. But I have learned to make small goals and strive to reach them then set another goal.

Thank you to my wonderful husband, sons, sister, daughter-in-law for all their support. I have a wonderful family.

Surgery on 6.23.08 weight 329
last Dr. visit was 8/8/08 weight was 301

Some days eating and sipping are easy some days it is tough to get it all in. But I enjoy every day and will continue to try and do exactly like Dr. Mitchell, Brett, melissa and Ashley have instructed.

I do have days still where I crave certain foods or drinks but i treat it just like I did when I quit smoking and the urge will pass.

I want to live as long aspossible and be healthy doing it. i want to run a mile one day and not be ready to pass out after 1/8 of a mile.

I love my family and I want to be around long enough to give them some gray hair.

I am scheduled for sugery on Monday 6/23at 11:30. I am nervous but excited.
