My First Anniversary#1

Posted: 11/4/08 at 4:12pm

On Friday, November 7th will mark the one year date of my gastric bypass. During this past year I have: lost 160 lbs, gone down 3 shoe sizes and two widths, have a man in my life, flew in a plane for the first time in five years, reversed heart disease, controlled type 2 diabetes, gone off half the meds that I was on, walk without a cane, left psychotherapy, no longer need a seat belt extender, gone down 4 dress sizes, and told my mother that she was narcissistic. Not bad if you ask me. Also, I am the executive director for a local theater group as well as an actor. These are all wonderful things...but the best is the man in my life!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations - but, in my opinion, the *best* is the way you feel about yourself, and, it sounds like you are on top of the world!

I'm so happy for your success - and your health!

Wow, Yenta! And here I am bragging about squeezing my butt into size 12 jeans (down from 18, btw) again. Congrats.

Add another congrats!!!!

Thanks for all the good wishes. I forgot to add that my boobs have shrunk so much that my 13 year old niece wears a bigger cup size then I do!! Actually, that is rather sad.

It doesn't have actual water in it....it's sort of a liquidy gel. They have them at Victoria's Secret.

Watch this, Yenta
Grace & The Water Bra

Cheyenne Jackson tickled me. AFTER ordering SoMMS a drink but NOT tickling him, and hanging out with Girly in his dressing room (where he DIDN'T tickle her) but BEFORE we got married. To others. And then he tweeted Boobs. He also tweeted he's good friends with some chick on "The Voice" who just happens to be good friends with Tink's ex. And I'm still married. Oh, and this just in: "Pettiness, spite, malice ....Such ugly emotions... So sad." - After Eight, talking about MEEEEEEEE!!! I'm so honored! :-)
