12 weeks out and Thankful

Hi All, I am now 12 weeks out and 35 pounds lighter. I am 25 pounds from my goal, I am 5 pounds from my driver's license weight and 15 pounds from what I weighed when we got married over 20 years ago..And speaking of my husband he keeps making comments on how great I look and is always touching me. I am back to my pre-op exercising routine and feel great. My hair knock on wood hasn't started falling out and hopefully I can skip that particular unpleasantness. For the first time that I can rememb

Nine weeks out

Hi All so today is nine weeks. That is so hard to believe. I am half way to goal down 30 lbs and I have to pinch myself because I have never lost this much ever. I feel great and have more energy and my walk/workout is easier then before surgery. It feels as if a whole new world has opened up for me. I still have my doubts about whether this will work despite the proof and I have yet to buy any new clothes. Bought a couple pairs of boots but I just am not ready to buy clothes. It is as if a part

Six and a half weeks out

So I am almost seven weeks out, wow that seems so unreal to me it has gone by so fast. I think I may have hit my first stall but really I can not complain 25lbs in six weeks is just crazy! And yet I still struggle with myself. A part of me refuses to believe that this will work. I keep waiting for the disappointment shoe to drop, again. I know I am probably getting in 1/4 of the calories then I was before surgery by the numbers alone my body can not do anything but lose and still I doubt. I won'

I feel wonderful. Giddy actually I am finally starting to believe this will work.

Post surgery thoughts

Well its day 3 I won't say its been easy but it hasn't been all that bad either. But all this down time has had me thinking. The first thing that has struck me on this journey is how many of us say things like "we have done this to us" or use the word "elective" I don't know about that to me there was nothing elective about this. High B/P, high cholesterol and a borderline ekg are all warning signs that my weight is killing me. If a doctor told me oh you have this tumor it could kill you in 10-2

About me.

Hi All, Let's see I am in my fifties married 20 years to a wonderful support man am 5'2" and weight 200lbs. I have always been overweight I can remember at an early age not understanding why I was overweight or what it was just that I was overweight and the only one in my immediate family that was. I don't think there has ever been a time when I wasn't dieting or at the very least conscious of the things I ate that should not have not that that had ever stopped me. My biggest issue is that when
