WOW!! I am speechless. This is my first time reading your story and I am just so happy to see a very very happy ending. I wish you the best of luck with your surgery and the new healthy relationship you are in. God bless you for the courage you have.

All I can say is MOTIVATIONAL! Thanks for sharing such a wonderful journey. I can't wait to wear a swim suite without a skirt attached.

My hubby removed the scale when I went in to have surgery. He told me that is the least of my worries but to focus on me and following my doctors orders. I have not desired to look at the scale yet. I was thinking maybe at my 1 month mark and then I go and see the Dr at my 3 month mark. That sounds like a good time span to me.

My Dr gave me some samples of Unjury Chicken soup and the unflavored. I am looking forward to trying them since I am going back to work on Monday. I know that it is so important to get the protein in but I was almost out of my mind drinking chocolate whey protein. Hopefully this will help add some variety.

I simply love avocados. I used tolove to add avocados to everything prior to surgery. Now that I know how they relate to healthy weight loss I will make sure that I incorporate it many of my dishes, especially salad and tuna fish.

This was the most informative post ever. I thank you for putting so much effort into explaining about slider foods. This is definitely a great way of keeping us educated. I look forward to your future post.

I go back to work on Monday and that is just 1 day shy of reaching the 3 week surgery mark. I sit down too and I am hoping that I will not be bored out of my mind. It takes at least a day for disability to give the ok for my company to allow me back into the system. So majority of my day will be reading 3 weeks worth of emails. What fun! But I can't complain about my job because I enjoy what I do but I do desire to do more. When I get my access back I do plan to restart my career search back into management.

It's sad to say but being overweight you are discriminated against when it comes to promotions and jobs. They look at overweight individuals as being lazy unable to keep etc. Which we know isn't true. But it's just how overweight individuals are stero typed. But we have made the decisions to rise above all obstacles that we have encountered. If I am ever put in the position to hire anyone there size will never be a factor but their qualifications for the job.

I will make sure to post how my first day back on Monday went as well as when I receive my PROMOTION!!!!

• Congrats to you! I am going to buy me a new bike after my surgery on the 30th. I am so excited. Thanks for the update, it's truly inspiring.
  

I am so happy to read your post today. Even though my surgery is less than 3 weeks away I am still thinking about how my life is going to change when it comes to eating. I too am a lover of food. I love the taste of it, I love to cook, I love to see people eating. But I have learned to love food in a healthier way. Even though I know that I will not be able to eat as much does seem to have me questioning myself. When I think about the shortness of breathe walking from the parking garage or the skinny jeans I once could wear are not too tight. I will do whatever it takes to live a healthier life. It is indeed a lifestyle change. You can do it! WE can do it! The best thing you ever could have done was write how you are feeling and know that you are not in this alone. I wish you much success in the wonderful journey that you are about to embark on. When times get rough write it down and wait for you friends to reply and help you through those tough times.
