Highest weight 350+.  Lowest weight was 150 when I remarried 11/13/10.  As of today 1/20/21, 160.  10 lb gain over 10 years?  I'll take it!

I rarely post here anymore - life is too busy and wonderful, but now and again something happens that reminds me that it's important if it will help others. 

Last November, I remarried.  He was the first man I was interested in after my surgery and later, my divorce.  He has never seen even a picture of me from "before", and that's just fine with both of us.  But me, I'll never forget where I came from.

So the good stuff is: I have a great job I love working from home, my adorable gorgeous 9 year younger husband, and the house of my dreams surrounded by hundreds of undeveloped acres of forest.

The bad stuff:  I forget to take my vitamins, and I still "dump" if I eat too much sugar. (this is really not a bad thing)  Sometimes, I forget to chew enough.  Then it's very uncomfortable (like an elephant is sitting on my chest) so I purge.

I'm thinking this is a pretty good trade off, don't you?  So for all those who wonder if people are still ok after 10 years out, well, the answer is a resounding YES!  P.S. I've added a picture of me from my wedding.  Not too shabby for 56 yrs old...

Fast forward: 11/13/2010.  Everything is different.  New house, new job, new husband.  Such a miracle this surgery has been.  Today I thought it was time to update.  Been awhile for sure.  Everything comes back to that one great decision to do this thing.  Lucky to have never regretted.  Blessed with the results.
