SLF1027

I have my inital consult Friday, June 7th. I finally decided to take that step because I have tried and failed every other option. I am tired of passing on things I'd love to do! I want to be able to go to a movie or see a play or symphony without having to first check around for a seat width. I want to run. I want to be able to keep up with my nieces and nephews. I want to have a life on the weekends that doesn't involve my husband and I in our matching recliners. I want to THROW AWAY OUR RECLINERS! I want to see places. I want to be of normal size to do all of these things. I want too much and all this fat is keeping me from it. And I am finally ready to make the change I have been putting off for way too long!

I was sleeved 9/11/13. I lost 135 pounds in the first 10 months and then I gave up until 8 days ago. I fell off track, grazed, did a lot of things I was told to avoid and gained back 11 pounds in the process. I am now back on track, following all the guidelines and exercising again. I was feeling really crappy and totally fat until I came across this gem (before photo). It made me run upstairs and take a pic of myself right now for comparison! I've got 50-60 pounds to go, but in this moment I know it's possible.

I wish someone would have grabbed me by the shoulders and said:
THIS IS STOMACH SURGERY, NOT BRAIN SURGERY! Those chips, popcorn, crackers and Cookies.. You'll be able to eat aaaalll you want after surgery. No problem. (So be aware that "slider foods" are real!)
Follow all the rules your doctor gives you. Try your hardest to not deviate even with one bite!
I wish you luck and success on your journey

I think these gals have spoken! Lol
No waxing for you.
