OMG!!!!!!!!! you look GREAT aimee!!!!!!! how in teh world did you lose that much weight??? did you do the gastric bypass surgery??? (i feel the same way about my pictures, and i weigh about 245 ........ but then again im like
6 1"....) you should be very proud of yourself, i dont even thing you look like the same person!!!......lol....... as far as the dog cuddling up to your butt, i dont think its personal...toby does that too and he does it for the heat and warmth and comfort of being in a place that "sandwichs' him

Yup, I had gastric bypass surgery in August :) I'm really happy with the results. I've lost about 12 more pounds since the last "after" picture was taken, but my camera broke LOL so now I have to wait for more after pictures.

Sandy has been SO good through my recovery time and everything. These dogs are amazing. When I came home from the hospital, I swear, she was able to sense that I was in pain. She just sat on the foot part of the recliner and kept my feet warm for two weeks - can't ask for better than that!

Thanks so much - it's nice to hear that all that pain has paid off a little :)

yeah i know what you mean....... when i had surgery on my foot, mmy goledn retriever wouldnt leave my side...... animals deffinatly tune into your pain.... yorkies im finding are just cuddlebugs!!!!! if youre in pain or not!!!!

You look so much YOUNGER too! Congrats Aimee. I remember seeing the Christmas picture the other day somewhere on here and thinking, gosh, there are a lot of younger Yorkietalk posters here! I thought you were, like, a teenager in the picture! Congrats!

We'll post a picture of the "real" us soon.

Way to go Aimee on the surgery and the results. You seem very happy about it, and that's what matters most - to be happy with yourself!

Here's a picture of Hercules and I on Christmas. It's in the photo gallery. I can't put pictures in the actual thread, whenever I do it says it's too big.

Wow!!!
 

Aimee, that is so awesome of you. Way to on on the weight loss. You look so young. I thought you were around 16, until you said something about your daughter. lol

I'll try to post a pic of me. Gotta figure out where I have one at. lol

try that link and see if any of you can access it. This is a family pic that was taken last January in Kansas City @ my cousin's wedding reception. Those are my 4 boys, Josh, Brian, Trey and Logan and my hubby, Bob.

Let me know if you can access that. If not, I'll try a different way.

God bless!!

Wow, thanks SO much everyone :) You guys are the best!!! I appreciate all of the positive comments! That is just TOO sweet of you all :) I'm going to be on cloud nine all day long thinking I look like a teenager!! :D :D

Aimee, i am also post op from Gastric Bypass. I had surgery 03/03. I am down to 150 from 240. I love running into successful post ops like myself. congrats on all of your success.

great job aimee!! I bet you feel like a new woman. :)

Here I am, a good 'ole Alabama girl!

ROLL TIDE!!!
Our "friends from the North" or "damn Yankees" as some people down South, who are not so "cultured" as you and I, prefer to call them :) , thoroughly enjoy teasing the ones in our group, who are Southern, about being "G.R.I.T.S.", Southern Belles, etc. I just always tell them, with my sweetest Southern accent, "You are absolutely right, we are spoiled by our Daddy's who pray that when we grow up we will marry men who will carry on the tradition!" And then add, "I did my Daddy proud, don't you think?" ;)
Glad you are here and that you found Dean!! ;)

Amen bettyanne!
 

Roll Tide back tu! I am not as spoiled as I'd lke to be, as is the custom in this town especially! But, I have to say fiance and Daddy have both dun' me well. I have a yorkie -- because fiance finally conceded -- so I guess I am sorta spoiled! (Dean was my Christmas present to myself, but last year I got a pretty diamond from fiance!) Funny story: I made Colin ask Dad even though Dad already knew I was getting the ring -- kinda of a joke -- and right when Colin was talking to Dad about 'taking my hand in marriage,' I hit my knee on the side of Colin's truck and started shouting a few expletives. Dad's response was, "If you want her, you can have her ..." while rolling his eyes and snickering!

My favorite thing is joking about how Southern women show disdain towards someone without reverting to the favorite two-word redneck response. Us civilized ladies instead say, "That's nice."

BTW, I was curious if you or your husband work for Reynolds or TVA? Colin's family is from Tuscumbia, Al., and a lot of people that work up there have to travel to places in Colorado, etc ... for business.

Take care and keep toto warm!

you southern girls arent the only ones that get spoiled........lol....... i got a yorkie AND engaged for christmas....... oh wait, i guess i could be considered southern.....hehe ....... southern california :p

Yep! We always strive for our Daddy's approval! Unfortunately, I lost mine in 1985, but I still find myself wondering "What would Daddy think?". I was always a "Daddy's Girl" and guess that never really changes! He didn't approve at all of my first or second husband, but as always he left the decision up to me and ended the discussion with "Whatever your decision, I will support it 100%!" Why we don't take their advice is beyond me!! :rolleyes: But ... had he lived, he would have loved my Patrick as much as I do! He was sooo worth the wait and believe me, I was not looking for #3!! He is so wonderful ... gives ME gifts on HIS birthday! My Mom adores him and my sister told me on our wedding day, when I got "cold feet" and couldn't seem to get to the church on time, ... "We put too much work into this wedding!!! If you don't marry him .... I AM!!! [She has been married for over 30 years!! :p ] Our kids think we are nuts! They all "flew the nest" and "Nonnie & Papa" changed careers and hit the road!! We work for oil/gas companies ... he negotiates Right of Way, buys land, etc. and I am a "documents specialist" [which simply means tracing deeds and other documents back for a bzillion years in courthouses]. It's all very interesting and we see lots of this country ... sometimes we are only in an area for a few months ... sometimes for several years. It certainly has it's drawbacks, i.e., we don't see the grandchildren nearly as often as we would like and sometimes we miss being home, but for the most part we enjoy traveling, making new friends and seeing new things. I am not working on this particular project but am enjoying being home with Toto and, after working my entire life, learning the "Suzy Homemaker" roll, which gets pretty interesting at times! I'm certain that this "semi-retirement" will get old pretty soon and I will be back in a courthouse with a Yorkie in my bag searching documents!! :) But for now, I will just try to keep Toto warm!! ;)
I have a funny joke about "civilized" Southern ladies' responses between a girl from Alabama and one from Georgia ... will try to find it ... it's really hysterically funny!! Maybe one day, if we are home long enough, Toto and Dean can meet and have a play date? She doesn't get any opportunities to play with little ones because of the goofy way we live!

wow betyyanne, thats kewl you get to travel, but i hate moving once a year (my fiances mom usually moves once a year it drives me nuts, and she is too cheap to hire movers so when moving day rolls around she sits on her butt and delgates what should go where as my fiance and i do all the work :mad: ) ...........in all your work do you ever go outside the country??? I would think it would be kind of scary, didnt that guy in that "proof of life" movie work for a company sorta like that?

Of course I would LOVE for our babies to have a 'date.' We travel to Tuscumbia about once a month, or if you're ever in town for games, you could drop by! I had seen posts about taking yorkie to courthouse -- okay, that's you! I would love to be able to carry Dean around everywhere, but he's in his teenage stage and would want to romp -- all though he is still quite a snugglebunny once he's settled.

I am so jealous of how you live! Orinskye: I know the feeling about the moving. Before C and I were engaged, I went from parents to grandparents to apartment to apartment. I 'settled down' with C 3 years ago and it's been so nice not moving once a year. Now we are house shopping and I DREAD the move. But as we have 4 critters in a 2 bedroom 2 bath 2100 sq. foot apartment, it will be nice to double our space. I joke about how I will carry the pillows and pack the boxes ... let the men do the rest. I would love to move around all the time and then "visit" home, except for the moving part.

Well, I took some more pics of Dean playing with the rest of the crowd, and I'm gonna try and figure out how to post them ... the camera we got is too good -- all the files have to be reduced before posting.

allrighty lenora........... i posted my picture with toby in my gallery, it was too big to actually post on the board itself (still tryin to figure out my new camera).........

Hope to be "home" for a while in a few months ... we will get these two little ones together!! Toto is probably easy to take places in her bag because we started her really early! It was really quite by accident .... was gathering things together to go out one day and for wont of somewhere to put Toto ... stuck her in the bag ... she LOVED it!! The neat thing is that she won't jump out! I can sit her on the floor ... hang her on a doorknob, etc. and she won't leave the bag until she is told! I know, I know ... it amazes us too!!! :)
We don't actually "move" ... we keep our home intact and set up "housekeeping" with what I fondly refer to as our "traveling" furniture. Compact, lightweight, lots of wicker, etc. so it's really not that difficult. I didn't bring my car up because I knew I wouldn't be out driving on icy streets here in Colorado ... we plan to probably fly down and drive it back up in the spring! Toto and I take a cab if we have to go out during the day ... we are pretty close to "downtown" so we plan to do lots of walking, weather permitting [which hasn't been that much lately! :( ]
Have new pics of Toto too ... she is growing up so quickly, it's amazing to look back at the older ones and see the difference! ;) Can't wait to see your new pics of Dean! BTW ... when are you and Colin planning to "tie the knot?" :)

He was enrolled in ROTC, but was disenrolled after two years for medical reasons, so he's now working on an engineering degree (2-3 years extra at UA), so whenever we have real enough jobs to pay our own bills entirely, we will marry. We had planned May 21, 2005, but then he had his accident and all, so we've had to put it off. We've dated for 5 years, lived together for almost 3, so I'm REALLY ready to make it official.

There are a few head shots of Dean in the photo gallery, but I haven't got the really "cute" ones up yet.

Wish the best to you in CO, and I'll keep you in mind this spring so we can meet! I got Luca Dean a ferret carry bag yesterday, and he tolerates being in it well. We walked around with him in it and he didn't try to get out.

Today's a big day for him though -- he'll be alone here for the first time!! For a whole hour and a half!! Cross fingers!

Hope Dean did well staying alone ... bet he just napped! :) It's always harder on us than it is on them! Hope to meet you all in the spring!! ;) Looking forward to the new pics ... have new ones of Toto but haven't had time to post them yet!
