FLUFFYMOM

Had some fun tonight. Went through my drawers and closet. Instead of just packing away winter clothes for next year, I'm packing them away for donation. "Nope not gonna need that, it will be too big next winter" Yay!!!!!

Good Luck. So excited for you.

I want to be able to wear my original engagement ring and wedding band. Haven't had them on since halfway through first pregnancy and I never got them resized. I want to be able to really enjoy hiking with my kids. Not have them stopping every so often to let me catch up. I want my asthma to GO AWAY! Hate not being able to breath and I despise inhalers. I want my acid reflux to stop. I want to be able to throw on jeans and a tee shirt and not feel like I need to pull and stretch the material to get it to fit right. I want to be able to dress up for cocktails with a dress I pulled off the rack at a normal store and not have to spend days searching for a sequin dress made like a tent. I want to be at work and not break a sweat while everyone else is wearing long sleeve of jackets. I want to wear pretty bra and panty sets. I don't care how much they try; a 44DD bra will always be built like your grandma's bra.

Yeah, I did the same thing, bought stuff a little at the time. Had a hard time keeping the kids away from the pre packaged protein shakes. For some reason they love those things.

I am new to this site. My RNY is scheduled for June 28th and I have kind of been obsessing lately. Scouring the web for articles and success stories---it is how I manage my nerves. It is nice to finally find a user friendly and active site for support and help. Looking forward to getting to know everyone. I'm 36 yrs old and a mother of three. (Ages 7, 9, and 15) I've been heavy all my life except for about 6 years through most of high school and part of college when I was running track and very involved in gymnastics. Those days are over now. Weight loss is my ultimate goal but I also suffer from sever acid reflux. The doctors assure me that the RNY will cure or at the very least greatly improve the condition. To me that is as much of a motivator as the mirror has ever been. At the moment I am trying out different Protein shake recipes and dieting to prep for surgery. Anybody else doing this?

My insurance approved first letter. Surgery date is June 28th. Excited and nervous. Nice to find a group of people going through the same stuff at the same time.
