My Theme Song

This song has been my personal theme song for along time. I feel it is appropriate to repost it again in honor of my 6 month surgiversary!


Who can turn the world on with her smile?
Who can take a nothing day, and suddenly make it all seem worthwhile?
Well it's you girl, and you should know it
With each glance and every little movement you show it

Love is all around, no need to waste it
You can have a town, why don't you take it
You're gonna make it after all
You're gonna make it after all


How will you make it on your own?
This world is awfully big, girl this time you're all alone
But it's time you started living
It's time you let someone else do some giving

Love is all around, no need to waste it
You can have a town, why don't you take it
You're gonna make it after all
You're gonna make it after all

Artist: ("Love is All Around" by Paul Williams) Lyrics
Song: Mary Tyler Moore Show Lyrics

6 month surgiversary = 7.3.06

I made it to the 6 month point. Holy Shiznit! How did I get here? Like the Judy Collins song... Who knows where the time goes? I have lost a total of 106 lbs since surgery and 118 lbs from my heaviest weight. That is equal to a person. I now weigh 274 bs! I was 392 lbs last July and I weighed 380 lbs at the time of surgery. So bizarrely amazing!

Post surgery sizes:

Pants = 24
Tops = 18 (But my new tank tops are a 14/16
Panties = 18/20 (Lane Bryant)
Bra = 42 C

Pre surgery sizes:

Pants = 32
Tops = 26/28
Panties = 26/28 (Lane Bryant)
Bra = 48 C

I feel and look like a new person. It is only going to keep getting better. I am so glad I made the choice to have this operation. It was the best thing I ever did for myself. I completely got my life back. I can do things now that I haven't done in years!! I am just so happy. I can't weight to see what happens to me during the next six months. My journey so far as been amazing & I look forward to riding it out till the end.

Getting Skinny

So i am now able to sit inbetween 2 people on the subway. I never thought that would happen. So crazy. But, it is so cool. I went to the Festival of The Arts today with the fam. Good times. We probably walked 2 miles & I had a good time even though it was humid. I never went last summer. When you weigh 392 lbs you don't get out much in the humidity. And I wasn't that cranky. : )
