I just wanted to wish all of you a heathy New Year. Now is the time that we all reflect on the past year and think about the year ahead. I'd like to hear from all my WLS friends what the feel like were their victories this past year, what their fustrations were, and what their goals for 2005 will be.
I miss all the "old" posters, DebKay, Peachie, Hazel, and many others. The several of you who had your surgery this year, Pookie. Monica, BES and others, what are your feelings this holiday season? Those of you who are lurking and "thinking" about having surgery, what are your thought?
Chickadee, I haven't hear from you in a while, P38, are you still hanging arournd? How are you doing? And Jiff, our fearless leader, how's the new job? Any less stress? What ever became of the French Chef?
This has been a hard year for us financially, our has gone through a lot of "growing pains, and we have been struggling, but this too will pass, It's a new year, and we are very optismistic that the ecconomy is going to turn around and the price of a barrell of oil will go down, and people will have some extra money to spend. Ole Alvin continues to do exactaly as he pleases, and pay no attention to any of the things he learned when he first had his surgery. He still has foods he can not eat, but all in all he is doing okay. What is keeping him from becoming one of the REGAINERS is the fact that he has become so physically active since he has lost his weight. He plays golf again, and he works out at the health club 5 or 6 days a week. Me I'm still struggling with my wieght, and still playing with the idea of surgery, but just can't commit. I'm still looking of that magic pill that I can take and wake up the next morning skinny!!!
Okay I've rambled on for long enough, what about the rest of you?
