Also, this just happened, to be able to bend over without feeling like my head is going to explode from the pressure!

I can't wait to go zip-lining and have "adult activities" while holding my stomach in order for it not to make that horrible clapping sound. To NOT ever hear "you have such a pretty face" ever again. Not make fun of my own weight! Wear a cute bathing suit and not feel I have to cover myself as soon as I get out of the pool. Become my son's role model about healthy eating and lifestyle.

I haven't been out much cause I was just sleeved in October but I have not nor intend to lie. It is what it is... Whatever way you choose to lose weight takes determination and strength I say no matter how you lose you still win.

I had surgery on August 9th...walking on August 10th... Jogging on August 20th... 5k on October 27...
I just registered for my first half marathon for march 17th
Still can't believe it!

Hi Kaila,
Oh how I wish I would have had this option when I was 20. I cannot imagine how different my life would have been! I'm 49 now --- with so many regrets! BUT, I do have a second chance at the second half of my life and that is awesome.
Good Luck!!

Last week I went to Walmart & bought 3 pairs of danskin pants & tops. White, black & grey. I had NO idea that section of clothing was even at walmart! I'd never strayed past the Plus size womans dept!

Congrats! See you on the other side on wednesday!

Thanks to everyone that hade in their thoughts this AM. I'm out of surgery and everything went well. I've already walked 2 laps. Going to nap and do it again.
Thanks again!!

Thank you all! Will keep you all posted.
Simplejaxgirl, I'll be praying for you on Wednesday! We can do this.

Tomorrow is my surgery date!! I am so nervous, yet very excited and relieved that the day is finally here.
Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers. Looking forward to being on the losers bench!!
Thanks,
Natoshia

And that's why even something this drastic isn't a cure all. One of the things that was hammered in to my head from the start was that if I wanted to I could completely sabotage myself. Right now, it's pretty easy not to, but down the line once I can actually eat? Yeah, it'll be there. One of my biggest fears is that I'll do everything right and it still won't work.

I know your pain! I'm already mourning food, it has been such a huge part of my life (not to mention why I'm so huge). I am really contemplating seeing someone (psych) to help me through this transition. I have my surgery on Dec. 3, wish me luck.

Tonight I added a tablespoon of SF FF cheesecake pudding mix to my chocolate Protein Drink and it was delicious! Added 9 calories and 0.8 carbs! Mixed with 6pz Hood Dairy drink (reduced fat) and 6oz Water.< /p>
