Boy has time flown by...  Great news! I have lost 120 lbs.  I weigh 134. I just cant believe it..  I ordered this summers Bathing suit from Victorias Secret.. I love it.  I love my new life.. Things are great! Seems like I never have time to come online and post.  I need to get some updated pictures.  Still this surgery has been the best thing i have ever done for myself!!!

It is has been 1 year since my surgery, 1 year since I smoked..  and 1 year since I changed my life forever...  I said good bye to old negitive things..  and Hello to a new life..  I have lost 112 lbs.  I weigh 142..  I thought I was done along time ago, but it continues to come off..  It just amazes me..  I have seen a plastic surgeon..  Anyone have $40,000???  That is how much it will cost for everything I want done.  $20,000 for lower body lift.. So I will get a loan to get that first.  This summer, I think..  Pay that off. then get the next $20,000 for my boobs and thighs.. My brother said, dont you want a house instead???  I said no..  I will get all these things done and get a man to buy me a house..  hee heee.  Just kidding..  I want both..  A house and PS..  Too much to ask for??  We will see..  I have got to take pictures soon.  My friend Keith is a awesome Photog..  He keeps asking when he will get to take pictures..  Maybe I will let him..  
I dont look that bad.. In clothes...  hee heeee..  

Anyways..  Thank you for the year..  Thank you for love and support!!!

Remember...  It is never too late to be what you might have been.... 

I just cant believe that I have lost 106 lbs!  I weigh 148 lbs..  Is that insane???  My family had a 100 lbs loss party for me..  (see pictures) I am only 8 pounds away from goal..  Then I will have PS.  I have an appointment for a free consult in Oct.  On the event board of OH a PS in my area is putting on a free seminar.  I am going.. I will see what his advise is.  I want a lower body lift. but my gosh..  the scar is crazy.. I am super nervous about that..  Totally not nervous about the boobs though.  I am totally going for a D cup..  Nice a big..  lol..  I was promoted once again at work..  My income has tripled in the last 2 years..  So I have moved up 3 positions in 5 years at my job.  Not to bad.. I am now looking for a house for me and my two boys..  I can finally afford The OC..  And it seriously has to do with my self confidence and this surgery..  I love it, and so happy with everything.. 

I had the greatest time ever!  We stayed in Waikiki!  I went with My friend Barbie and her 2 Girls. We had a Hurricane that was headed straight for us and missed us.  The Big Island got it bad.  They had a earth quake, hit by the hurricane and a tsunami warning..  So glad we were on Oahu.  I took a suit case of food just in case.  I was so nervous I wasnt going to be able to find anything to eat..  Or just be sick the whole time.  I only got sick once.  We found this Restaurant that had a buffet for every meal.  It is called Dukes, right on the water. I told them about my surgery and asked if I could just be charged for a kids buffet $5.95 vs $15.95.  I didnt think they would do it, but to my surprise they said yes!  and to top it off, the manager came out and introduced his self and had all kinds of questions for me.  He said he has someone close to him that was considering it.  I told him my story and gave him this website!  Nothing made me sick there..  crab legs, stuffed salmon with macadamia nut sauce.. Can you say Yumo!!!.  it was the greatest! We went to the beach everyday, I went snorkling, rode on a boogie board, sunned my white body! It was just amazing..  I never once felt bad about myself, I let my scars and stretch marks hang out.. lol..  didnt even care..  I cant wait to have PS now..  I was all looking at girls and saying, I want my boobs to look like that.. Hee heee.. I want my butt to be like that..  lol..  
If you get a chance to do anything for yourself..  Go to Hawaii..  It was the best!!!

I cant believe it!  I sit here and think to myself..  OH MY GOODNESS..  I have lost a Nicole Richie!!  LOL..  Honestly though.  I am just amazed what this surgery has done for me and my life..  On top of a 100 lbs loss, I have 9.5 months of being smoke free.  I think that is a miracle in itself..  I still struggle with it everyday.  but it is getting easier..  I only have 15 lbs to lose to get to my goal..  I wear a size 10 comfortably.  I want to try to get in a size 7.  I think I will have to wait till after I have PS to do that though.  We will see..  size 7 with a 36D bra!!!  lol..  Thats what I want..  hee heee..  I leave for Hawaii on August 10th and I cant wait to do all the things I would of never of done 100 lbs ago..  It will be amazing!  Thanks to all of you that have supported me though this..  I couldnt of done it without you!  

I will update next month!

First things first.... 93 lbs gone forever!!!  
Next, This weekend was my first vacation since surgery..  I went to the river.  What an amazing trip.  I had so much fun!!  I never once thought about my weight.  We were on the river all day on Saturday.  Got a massage Saturday late afternoon. My first one, How wonderful was that..  All My life I worried about my weight..  How I would look doing that..  What people would think of me..  etc..  I didn’t worry about it once..  I sat right up there on the massage table, totally naked and enjoyed every part of it..  hee heee..  Enjoyed lying out in the sun..  Caught a few guys looking at me..  hee heee..  and even a few girls came up and asked me where I got my board shorts and bathing suit.  (they all matched).  That was a total complement to me.  Girls never say nice things..  well at least here in Cali, they don’t..  Must be different at the river.  I played Slots till 2:00 am on the same $7.  and even drank Corona..  Didn’t bother me at all.  The best thing is I lost weight!!  My friend said.  no one goes to the river and loses weight..  hee hee..  I said..  I DID.. So,  next is my reunion in July and Hawaii for 8 glorious days in August.. I can’t wait.. Stay tuned for July..     

Down 88 lbs.. Whooohhooooo!!

I keep on saying this, but my life has changed so much. It is hard to believe that weight was holding me back for so many years.. I made bad choices.. Had men in my life that were no good, but kept them around anyways cuz I had no one else.. I always felt like I was worth nothing, and kept my life at a stand still. Well not any more.. Since surgery I have taken so much more initiative at work, completing task I would of never had the courage to accomplish before.. I am making so much more money now and boy is that a good feeling. I can get up in front of an auditorium full of people, speak and not even break a sweat. I have bought a new car and saving to buy a house. I am taking my family to Hawaii in August.. Cant wait for that!! These are just some of the things I can do now. I totally owe it all to WLS!! I am a different person! Not to be mean, but the thing I love most is blowing the guys off at work that had nothing to do with me fat. And now come sit at my desk and flirt.. What a joke.. I would never never go out with any of them!! The second best thing is seeing my X-husbands face when I get out of the car to drop off my son! You know, he cheated on me and told me it was cuz I was fat.. What a jerk.. The look is priceless!!

I control my future.. I do have to say that this girl/single Mom wont be stopped!! Watch out now!!

I just have to tell you all that my Nephew has made it to the NFL.  On Saturday April 28th.  The NC Panthers pick my Nephew Ryan Kalil in the 2nd round..  He was the first center to be drafted..  His Aunt Tiff couldnt be more proud!!!!  Pictures to come!!!

I started losing again..  I sat for like 6 weeks with only a 2 lbs loss.. It really sucked.  I thought I was done.  Had my 6 month check up.  He said I might only lose another 20 lbs??  Thats ok.  We can probably cut off 10 lbs of skin..  hee heee..  I havent had any real problems since the last thing..  So I feel pretty good..  Hair still looks bad..  all frizzy and thin..  I am hoping it will soon look better..  Cant wait for the summer to come for the first time in my life..  A trip to the River for Fathers day and Hawaii in August..  I am not going to buy a BB Suit till June.  Hopefully i can find a cute skirt one.  We will see..  
I will keep you posted...


 

I just got an invite to my 20 year reunion. I am so excited.. I am still very close friends with my girlfriend of 30 years. We are going together.. It will be in July so I will have time to lose more weight.. I cant wait to buy the perfect party dress!!
In high school I use to date Jesse James.. The Jesse James from West Coast Choppers.. The one that is married to Sandra Bullock.. lol. Yep. I was pretty hot in high school. Anyways. word has it that they are going to go. I would love to see him and meet her.. I dont keep in touch with him. I heard he is really weird about talking to high school friends as he swears he is from Long Beach and in fact lived in Riverside.. for as long as I knew him anyways.. since 5th grade.. lol.. But anyways.. I would never go as big as I was.. So once again, I am thankful for this surgery. It has given me back my self confidence.. Has made me so healthy.. I will actually be at my reunion instead of in the hospital with a heart attack..

I will take so many pictures..
