My computer crashed so I've been without for a few months.  Just trying to figure out which one to buy or just repair old one?  Finally I am up again.  So much has happened since I've been on.  I'm down 97 lbs and it has been five and a half months. I'm wearing XL's which I don't think I've worn since I was 30.  I gave away all of my 4x's.   My life is amazing!!!!   It was rough in the beginning,  I had a stricture and thought originally what did I do? Did I make a mistake having this surgery?  Is this going to get better? It did!!!!   I can honestly say without a doubt I have no regrets having the gastric bypass and my only regret is that I didn't do this sooner. It's the day after Christmas and everyone is still sleeping- its so quiet and peaceful.  Christmas day was awesome- my boys were thrilled with their gifts and so was my husband.  I did really good too.  I got a pink Schwinn bicycle that I have always wanted but never attempted when I weighed 345 lbs.  I cooked ALL day and cleaned house and entertained and spent time with family and close friends.  It couldn't get anybetter than that.    I no longer have back pain after being on my feet for 15 minutes.  My energy level has skyrocketed.  I work 40 hrs per week and still do things after and my weekends are non stop.  My husband is just thrilled with the new me and my boys are too.  They are soo happy for me and everyday they tell me how proud they are.  My dtr moved out of state a week after my surgery.  That is the only sad thing in my life right now- missing her terribly and not being able to spend anytime with her is so hard.  She is 20 and moved to Manhattan Kansas with her boyfriend for a better job and opportunties they were not getting here in MI.  She is planning on coming home for a visit in Aprl.  She will be shocked to see my progress.  I have been heavy their whole lives- they have never seen me thin. New Years is approaching now and for the first time in a long time we made plans to go out and celebrate with good friends at a hall-  I need to go and buy a new dress?  Haven't done that in a long time either.  This will be the first new year that I don't have to make a resolution that I could never keep--- to lose weight !!!!!!  Amazing, awesome, terrific that is just a brief view of my new life.  Till we meet again
