Thrilled!

It's been a while since I've blogged...but today, I blog with a passion about my surgery.
Official loss as of this morning is 72 pounds even.
That is nearly 55% of my excess weight (which is good even at a year post op) and I am only 15 weeks out.  That's not even 4 months.
I pretty much eat what I want (albeit very small quantities), and am only cycling for exercise (and not even very consistently).
I have absolutely no regrets; this has been the best thing I have ever done for myself.  Actually, that isn't ENTIRELY true.  There are still times when I wish I could EAT THE WHOLE THING.  But once my stomach has had it's fill, that desire goes away pretty fast.
Aaron and I had a conversation recently about what exactly is going to stop me from losing too much weight once I reach my goal.  My thinking is, if I do get to that point, (which I'm not exactly worried I'll lose too much weight---how could such a thing happen to ME???) but if I DO...I may just have to start drinking my calories!!!!  Or ice cream will become my new best friend.
Either way, I believe I have extended my life span by years, and I look forward to seeing my statistics when I go for my yearly exam.
Thanks for tuning in friends!
