'Tis the eve of my sleeve...

1 month Surgiversary! Feeling good!

16 pounds away from Onederland! I am going to rock my sleeve and work hard to get there!

23 days til sleeve and glad I am starting to change some habits NOW!

4 DAYS til Sleevetown.Boy that went fast!

5 lbs away from my first big goal (250)!

6 pounds away from my first big weight goal!!!

Aww, thanks for your comment, Irene! I believe our bodies have incredible healing capabilities if we just help them along, so I believe I'll be able to run just like you later in my journey! But, so excited for your 5K! WAY TO GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Awwww, you are having a girl!!! Congratulation! Sorry, I missed it earlier. Behind on my reading :-) So happy for you!

back at work... kind of intense after 3 weeks off!

Becca, is your new avatar picture recent? It looks like your face is so skinny! Congrats!!

Been walking every day since surgery! I have so much more energy than I would have thought. Thank you, Sleeve!

Coops, you are soooooo sooo awesome! Thank you so much for your reply to my post about my silly doctor! I have to say, I am still burning mad about it, but your post made me feel SOOOO much better! Big, big hugs!!!!!! xoxoxo Lila

Deflecting Holiday treats like Kriptonite!

Did my recumbent bike for the day. It actually helped my energy levels. It's so funny the way that works!

Did the last of my pre-op tests today, whoohoo! Delicious barium milkshake, yum...

Down 21 lbs... yay! (including the pre-op diet)

Down another 2 lbs. Hoping to make it an even 10 before surgery. Weird goal, huh?

Down another pound... and THREE days til Sleevetown...

down my first 5 lbs (pre-op diet), a thousand mile journey starts with the first footstep!

Finally, I am down a pound! Maybe it's just water weight, tho :-(

Getting frustrated that work is so stressful I don't have time to exercise. This is how I gained weight in the first place!!! Argh.

Got in 66 oz. of fluid today!! On track with my liquids!

Got my EKG done today... 2 more tests and I am ready to go!

Had a moderate Thanksgiving... moving to pre-op liquid diet next week, yikes!
