    jacileggs got a reaction from dtrujillo67 in Is it working for you   
    I was leaning toward the sleeve and decided for bypass also because of gerd. Don't regret any of it.

    Over this weekend I have done some shopping. Tops in size medium and two size small. Nice to able to shop in those sizes because there is so much more variety than in plus sizes. Also took in some clothes that were too big. Great weekend. I am 23 lbs to goal weight so maybe one more round of mending and shopping before I stabilize.

    Naturally skinny people have all sorts of advice for us. It's simple they say. Eat less and exercise. Well yes it is easy to say but not to do. When you are obese and have no energy to exercise and have a food addiction. It's like telling smokers to just stop smoking.

    jacileggs got a reaction from JustWatchMe in Divorce rates and WLS. (link to article inside)   
    No sources are given. The divorce rate in general is high. I divorced because my husband was a man whore. That was 15 years ago. I was normal sized then. Gained a lot of weight with the divorce and depression. He has over the years tried to get back with me many times. I'm sure he is dying now that I am normal sized again. Haha. Sucks to be him.

    Yes it also took me months to get my energy level back. About three months and I was pretty much back to normal

    I realize that some people have a 1 in 400K disease that makes them overnight. For those people, I sincerely apologize. But for the rest of the 399,999 of us, we earned every inch of a 44" waistline by not being active enough and too many double cheeseburgers, ice cream and 2 for $3 Big Mac's.

    jacileggs got a reaction from Alex Brecher in What Is (or Was) Holding You Back from Weight Loss Surgery?   
    The only thing that held me back initially was that it wasn't previously covered by my provincial health care plan. I finally decided to self pay and then discovered that by then it was covered by my health plan. So I decided to jump through the hoops and have it done for free rather than spend $15000. It all worked out perfectly.

    Cheesecake! Lucky for me our local cheesecake restaurant burned down last year. They replaced it with a different restaurant so I'm good.

    I can probably fit my wallet in my bra it's so loose. Time for a round of new ones. Also down from a size 22 pants into size 11 which is getting big also. Time for a size 9. Best feeling ever. Also having a lot of people notice my 84lbs loss. I tell them thank you for noticing. Feels good to have someone acknowledge my success.
