Well, today is my official 2 month anniversary from my surgery. Wow, it has been a great 2 months.

I have gained so much

I now have a wonderful boyfriend named Chris and he is such a sweetheart.
I've lost 45 pounds from my highest pre surgery weight of 255.
I have gained so much energy.
And I have also changed my attitude towards life completely.

I am forever grateful for this opportunity at a second chance at life

Pics to come later tonight or tomorrow.

In maintenance... now I'm yo-yoing up and down 10 lbs or so. I'm trying to find out how to stay at a set weight, it's rough.

I figured I would update this journal.

It's quite funny how things have done a complete 180. I don't know where all these men are coming from but I can't keep them away, lol.

I'm still with my boyfriend who I adore so much. He is so good to me.

It's really hard for me though not being able to just date, but I figured that I scored an awesome man now, why wait?

A lot of the guys from school keep telling me how cute and sexy I look. One of them wants to date me, another can't keep his eyes off me and another is masterbating to the thoughts of me (wierd and probably TMI), lol.

In some ways it's REALLY hard to accept all the attention because I had been so used to hiding behind my fat and in some ways it feels so good to know that I'm looking better and have a better attitude.

Jen,

I'm glad to hear that things are going well with your boyfriend. As for the other guys, ya snooze, ya lose! Obviously Chris is the guy for you right now, and maybe for a long time. You deserve to be admired! Let 'em dream.
