My sister in law takes pleasure in bringing everyone around her down. Her favorite target is me. I was in a very dark place at my highest weight. She loved to talk about me to friends and family members. I use her as my motivation to keep going. I am so happy and living life I don't have time for the toxic people that just can't find their own happiness. My biggest feck her is reaching my goal and running in the race for the cure. I'm doing this in memory of my mother in law and my mother. Can't wait!

@@gabbykittyvsg Too funny~ Dancing until I sweat lol

Thanks for the support all..you guys are the best

From a size 20 now a size 8 I have an apple shape. Truly larger on top and smaller in the butt and hips. Waiting to see what size I will be in 9 months.

Reached a mini goal BMI is now 29 - from morbidly obese to officially OVERWEIGHT!

Ok started at 183 First weigh in 180 Second weigh in 176

How common is it to have issues with relationships with weight loss surgery. My husband has been very insecure lately. He has made comments about me leaving him. I find myself reassuring him constantly. does this go away with time? What can I do to help him with this?

@@readyforitnow I'm so excited for you. I was also nervous about being a type one diabetic and having sleeve surgery. I'm 3 months and 18 days out. My A1C is now a 5.9 (my Dr is amazed) I use very little insulin and some days no insulin. I have had a few lows. I drink a small shot of orange juice diluted with Water. It brings my blood sugar back up. I have to be careful not to miss meals. I also eat a small amount before I work out and after I get back from the gym. Your diabetic Dr. will help you through the process. Each of us experience all of the changes from surgery differently. For my health it has been the best thing ever. Wishing you well on you're journey Jenn

@@Cassiper I'm so sorry to hear about your situation. Just a quick question. Can you afford financing the surgery?

@@Fox-E @@shortsleeved made a good point. There are good alternatives to have the pizza taste with out the guilt. I hope you find a recipe that will satisfy the craving. On my rough days. I try on the clothing I wore at my highest weight. I pat myself on the back. I know tomorrow is a new day and I press on.

@@chellede I love to try new food. I'm more adventurous these days. Many things that would turn me away in the past I now love. Eggplant Parmesan Portobello Mushroom pizzza Slice of pare, blue cheese topped with a caramelized pecan Crisp Prosciutto wrapped around asparagus egg whites, spinach with cherry tomatoes

@@blondebomb Thanks for sharing. I have been trying to limit my fats. This puts a different spin on my food percentage break downs in fitness pal. I'm a type one diabetic. I have be taught high Protein and low carb. Now I need to look at my fats. Great info

@@auntiemel Oh my..lol Does not sound strange at all. Everyone experiences changes differently.. One funny pain I have experience post op was I carried weight around my neck. Now that its gone my neck muscles are sore from having to hold my head up. Wow your surgery date will be here before you know it. Wishing you well! Jenn

@@ngoycoanaya@gmail.com Read some post on what to expect. also look for the suggestion list of things to take to the hospital with you. Great info. So normal to feel the way you do. Hang in there. How long did you have to wait for approval?

I've been low carb for quite a while. For me no aches or pains.

@@shaza1963 Fantastic~!!!! Can't wait to be overweight

@@Kmil2009 I'm 3 months out from surgery. My big fear is gaining weight back. Glad to hear that you are maintaining well.

Welcome to the site. How are things with maintenance 1 year out?

Current weight - 182 Goal on October 31st - 167

3 months out and NSV I had a follow up appointment with my Diabetes Dr. The staff had not seen me since before my surgery. The staff did not recognize me. To top off the day my labs were great. my A1C is a 5.9 Diabetes well controlled.

Sounds like you have already answered your question. You have found one that is covered by insurance...Hopefully they will approve the 2nd hour. It's a process..I understand the frustration:)
