Hello,
I decided not to tell my family that I am having wls. Only my husband and my kids know

Hi to everyone at every stage of your journey. My name is Max and I am 58 waiting for insurance approval for gastric sleeve.
I am married to a retired commercial pilot (for 32 years) and we have an adopted daughter (who was born from my heart) who has just turned 13. I had one sibling, he died of brain cancer at the young age of 27. My mom is 85 years young and is my hero.
My profession is that of working in home health as an occupational therapist, but became disabled a few years ago (injury to my back and right shoulder).
The light of my life is my daughter, she brings such joy and she is quite the comedian.
I used to cook quite often, but my husband was also a professional chef, so he rules the kitchen. I have small spaces to store my favorites, but my spouse is very territorial of what he considers his space. Wish he felt that way about the vacuum.
Glad I found this site. I have watched several you tube videos and I get that support is important. Thanks for letting me join.

My husband makes a nice dip (for veggies, etc.) with greek yogurt, minced shallots and a little salt & pepper. So delicious, reminds me of rich, onion dip.

I have the same problem, but one smart nurse applied a warm pad on the inside of my elbow. He said this would make the vein pop up and stabilize. All I know is that it worked. Since I have this problem, I tell the nurse, etc. which vein has worked the best in the past. Sorry about the pain.

I am 7 pounds from ONEderland.
I am at the beach and wearing a tankini and look GOOD!
I am doing great at getting my Water and protein!
I am only 37 pounds from my goal.
I put on a size 12 pair of shorts yesterday.
I got hit on by an attractive stranger last night.
and people think my scars are freckles!!
This was the best decision I have ever made. I have spent all morning sobbing out of happiness. I never thought this would work out. I still doubted myself, but for the first time in my life I don't feel like food controls me. I am more confident. I feel beautiful. I am so happy!!!
