My mother gave me a beautiful Diamond ring of hers for my 40th birthday four years ago. I kept meaning to get it sized but never did. Last night I was going to my safe looking for some papers and I saw the box I took a pretty ring out of the box and put it right on my finger it fits!

When I got dressed for work and had to stop, take off my pants, and hem them quick by hand because they're too long since I have less fat holding them up! Had to cut 1.5 inches off my workout pants too!

I will admit to you all that I am one they got very very little postop instructions were very specific for the first four weeks and then after that I was told and I'm quoting here from the paper in front of me have a Protein Shake under 250 cal for Breakfast have no more than 3 ounces of Protein no more than half a cup of carbohydrate for lunch and do the same thing for dinner. Do not snack do not drink Water for one hour before a one hour after you eat. And that's what it said then go out and have a good life I guess. It's a good thing that part of my training as an instructor is to teach nutrition because at least I know the difference between a good carbs and a bad carb and I'm not going out and eating 3 ounces of bacon and half a cup of mashed potatoes gravy on it. But according to my doctors instructions that's just what I could do because that's all the instructions I got so what do you say about that? So I wake up every day and I think the Lord for BariatricPal because I know that I can find the answers here if I have questions now I'm never going to ask you guys it's okay that my 3 ounces of protein is all bacon because I'm not an idiot I know that that's not right. But I am going to ask you questions like what's the deal about drinking straws how come I'm not allowed to drink with a straw some people say it makes you burp it doesn't make me burp is it going to stretch my stomach? I don't know, so I do research part of the research is asking questions I don't have all the answers you don't have all the answers. But together we can answer enough questions. I do agree with you in that answering stupid questions gets really really old. And I have found in my short little time here that people really do want a way out, they do really want to "cheat". Until I get my food addiction under control, I've had to convince myself that bread, potatoes, Pasta and rice will absolutely kill me. I've put this image in my mind that my little tummy will explode if any of those items hit it. So I stayed away from those nasty things. Doesn't mean I don't want them, but if I can keep fooling my mind thinking that they're going to kill me then I will. and you know what all honesty if I continued to eat bread and pasta and potatoes and rice and sugar it would've killed me so it's really not that far stretch. Good luck to everybody.

I have had very very few pictures taken the last 15 years. When I look at pictures from the past I realize why I thought I was invisable. I made myself that way. I still shy away from pictures but I am taking pictures ever few weeks in the same outfit to record progress. As for mirrors, I hid most of mine. 45 lbs gone, I am checking out my butt a lot. I am losing in my legs and butt big time.

You look truly fantastic. I think you're beautiful and all your pictures but wow the progress you have made. Congratulations on getting to goal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We're all here for support. I hadn't lost in weeks and it's ok. You're not alone. You're almost to onederland!

I am trying desperately not to buy too many new clothes. And I'm very lucky in that my mother lives in the same town I do and while she didn't have the surgery because she is not large enough to have the surgery she is eating smaller portions and eating what I eat when we eat together. And the good thing about that is that she has lost weight so I have been shopping in her closet as she gets too small for her clothes I get them.
I started out in a size 18 pants maybe even a size 20, now I am wearing her old size 14 and a few of her 12's. I did have to buy some new swimsuits for my aquarobics class because my old swimsuit was one of those of the skirt on it and if you've ever try to do aquarobics with the skirt on you know what I'm talking about. I also had to buy new undies because my old ones who way too big. I'm trying to hold off on the new bras because browser so expensive.
As for my old clothes all those size 18 pant and size 2X and 3x tops those are all either at a consignment shop are being donated to the friends in garage sale.

I am so sorry that that happened to you. That was one of my triggers to have the surgery done to I was walking my dogs and two little boys were bouncing on the trampoline in the backyard and they were chanting there is a fatty there is a fatty I think it's true I think kids learn cruelty from their parents I hope my son never learns to be cruel from me. I will live as an example to see the love, good, fact that we are all Gods children.
