Necessary Mutilation

Weight: 227 lbs.

So, tomorrow is my big 6 month surgiversary, as they say in the bariatric support sites. I can hardly believe that 6 months have gone by - yet, on the other hand, it seems as if the trauma of all that I have gone through is just a distant memory.

Tomorrow I will post pictures, comparisons and other surprise photos, as well as muse about the half year gone by. I have so much to say, and am excited for the venue to do so. I have hoped since day one of this blog that my journey may be inspirational, supportive or encouraging to others with weight problems or contemplating this process, as well as those who too have taken the plunge. I hope to write in a way tomorrow that is enlightening and helpful to anyone who can relate, and perhaps even those who can’t.

So, tune in tonorrow!

As to today, we are off to the casino tonight to cash in as we do each Monday, and are pleased to be able to treat friends Zoe and Dennis to the buffet while there. Unfortunately, while Barb and Rick are dealing with what they must in the wake of Rick’s mother’s passing and had to cancel as a result, Zoe and Dennis too could use some consoling and comfort as they just recently had to put their dog to sleep and are understandably sad and upset. So, we hope to provide some support and friendship while also cashing in on casino freebies.

So, for now and until tomorrow, I am off to take some cool pics and gather what I need to ensure a juicy posting tomorrow! See you then!
