I start my diet on 7/5/14. I am super stoked. So please tell me someone else is gonna be my surgery buddy? *praying for a buddy*

I also use the pure protein! Super good stuff. And I also dont mind the EAS one from walmart either. Its not a disgustingly.rich one either. ....

Ok here are my 10! I am so thankful for this thread. 10. Being a healthy mom of 6. 9. Being able to take long romantic walks without being exhausted or winded. 8. Shopping in normal departments of clothing stores. 7. Bras finally fit. 6. Able to wear a button up shirt comfortably. 5. Able to wear a bathing suit. 4. Able to gp on outings with my family and not being the biggest one there. 3. Take full body pics! 2. Being able to breathe again without 36 meds monthly for breathing and all my comorbidities. 1. Finally feeling comfortable being naked infront of men or a mirror. This is huge for me. Havent had sex with lights on in years.

So glad to follow u on this roller coaster ride. I too am a diabetic and am glad to know the signs. Glad to know what to watch for. Thanks so much for sharing!
