I can't believe that it has been a year already!

A year ago today I was in the hospital all drugged up. I can't believe it has been a year since I had my gastric bypass. I want to thank everyone for their encouragement and support during this time.

The first goal that I set for myself was to lose a 100 lbs., then 150 lbs., and then 200 lbs. Well I hit the 200 lbs. lost this past weekend. The next goal that I have placed upon myself is to get down to weighing 200 lbs. by my birthday. A friend told me today that she did the calculations on my weight loss and I averaged 4 lbs. a week. If I could continue that I will make it plus more for my birthday.

I have had to buy a new wardrobe for myself. All my outgrown clothes I have donated to our church's clothes closet that we have along with the food pantry.

I went today and did my lab work for the doctor. I don't actually see him until the 10th of February. I hope everything is fine. I have been doing more protein and that is the only thing that has ever been low.

I will have to take some new pictures to post. The ones from Christmas Eve is the latest taken. Our church is doing a new picture directory and will be having pics done by Olan Mills. When I get those I will post them along with the old one from the last directory.

I will keep everyone up to date as I go on. Hope everyone has a great year.
