I would do it all over again! I know I could not have done this without the surgery. My clothes are fitting so much better and I feel better about myself. Get the Gas X you will want it. Make sure you have plenty of protein drinks in stock and get a baby spoon to help remind you to ear small bites and go slowly. Keep us posted!!

I would have taken plenty of time off of work if I could do it over. I am self-employed so was working really the same night I had surgery (answering emails on my iPhone from hospital) and sitting at a computer working a few days later. If I had a job with medical leave/sick time, I would have tried to take at least 3 to 4 weeks off and I don't think I would have been so exhausted the first couple of months.

I love this as well, TexasMiss I have my own fantasies of participating in a 5K with a shirt that reads, I lost xxx lbs, I smoked for 30 years and quit, I have had a heart attack and survived....

Love this! That's a great movie. Running is on my list also. I want to wear cute Nike shirts and race around the track. I wonder if I can have one made that says "I ran from my fat" lol.

In my Bible study group the monthly breakfast parties are always sweets and more sweets, and then in April it was one of the womens turns, and she brought in hard boiled eggs, melon, strawberries, turkey bacon, turkey sausage, whole wheat mini bagels, fat free cream cheese.... it was so good, we talked about how much better we all felt and no one missed the goodies.... oh and she brought greek yogurt too, she set a new bar for all of us.

Great job. No one needs that crap--whenever I brought something into the office for a bday or other event, I would always bring a traditional sweet but then a healthful option too. For example, a decorated cake but then also a big bowl of fresh strawberries or clementines. Maybe you could start a new trend at your office next time you are asked to bring something. I was always shocked by how popular the healthier foods were.

Excuse me, did I write this, oh wait no, you wrote this, weird...... we even have the same surgery date. Only you are at a much better starting weight than I.... so happy for you.
