Over 1000 hits

Wow... my blog has received over 1000 hits!!!  I have to say - that makes me so incredibly happy.  I really didn't think anyone would care much about my random thoughts.  I started this blog 57 posts ago and 3 1/2 months ago in an effort to: 
  • Be honest with myself... and it is becoming a good "check and balance" for me.  If I'm not willing to write it down, I have to think long and hard about what's happening.
  • To be a consistent place for my friends and family to check in with how I'm doing
  • To be a place where I can track my successes and challenges and 
  • To hopefully be an inspiration for others who are thinking about WLS or have started their journey.
  • An unintended benefit has been that I've found a number of WLS Blog buddies, which I am SO grateful for!  It is a bit odd for me to feel so close to people who I don't know - but I love following all of your updates!
I put everything out there.  Some folks think I share too much - but, I think that is out of concern for me personally that they don't want me to be hurt.  I have to have faith that this can be a tool for others and for me.  Although mine is not nearly as informative as The World According to Eggface's Blog is about recipes, or as funny as Amy's Blog is, hopefully it is just the beginning of a long blogging relationship!  So thank you to all of you who are my "followers", both online and in spirit!  Your support is awesome.  Happy Friday. 
                       
                            
SIDE NOTE ON MY FILL:  Forgot to mention - I got my 2nd fill on Monday, another .75 cc's and I am feeling good - I am definitely noticing a lot more restriction than I had before, so that is a good thing!  I'm finding now that I can't eat bread without it being really toasted - otherwise, I'm getting stuck a bit!  And I'm down another 1.2 this week.  Yay.

I think that your honesty is great, and I dont feel like you share too much! I was thinking about a post that included the topic of butt crack hair....but I dont know if the world is ready for that yet. maybe next month.

I wish I had started a counter! Next life I will measure myself before surgery and start a counter on my blog from day one.

I love our blogging buddies! And thanks for saying I am funny. That will keep me going for the rest of the day.
