    I think you could have stuck a pin in me and popped me in my old picture.
    So puffy. I can't believe that was me.

    BEST THING IVE EVER DONE!!
    I am addicted to moving now. I can't stop, I don't wanna just sit around and stuff my face and be sad for myself, it was tough in the beginning, I threw up if i ate too fast, or drank to quickly.
    The whole, no drinking while eating before and an hour after was tough for me.
    I'd eat dinner, and then I'd want to go to the gym, but I HAVE to drink while I work out, so then had to wait an hour before i went.
    I just had a lil period of time management struggles haha.
    But I figured it all out, the first 3 months are a challenge. But I walked EVERYDAY. Even if it was slowly. Then every day got easier, everyday I got stronger. Felt better, didn't hurt when I took a step. Now, with what my fit bit tells me... I'm walking about 8-10 miles a day!
    I also work in a hospital, so I'm not at a desk, so I'm lucky.
    After surgery I walked the mall cause of all the snow we had, then as it got nice I walked outside, now people actually know me at the gym!!!
    I was ashamed to walk in the gym and I had a hard time walking through the doors, I felt like people were staring at me (they are NOT) haha
    And I still even now get nervous walking in, but then I hear,
    "hey Katie!! Your here early today!!"
    And I just get on the elliptical and go to town!!!!
    Anyone that has a Fitbit pm me!!
    I'm obsessed with mine!! Feel free to ask me anything! I'm here if anyone needs anything!

    I will not let anyone make me feel guilty for wanting to be healthy.
    I will not let anyone make me feel guilty for taking the time to exercise.
    I will not feel guilty for DOING ME.
    Not DOING ME was what got me to over 325lbs. I'm ready to change.
    I've been ready to change.
    I have to take care of ME.
    Cause in the end, no one else will.

    Hey all! I'm so excited to finally be posting in BEFORE AND AFTER pics!
    I was sleeved 1/5/15
    July will be my 6 month post op appt.
    as of last week I am down 98lbs.
    I'm so so close to down 100!
    But one day at a time.
    First picture was 2 weeks after surgery and right was April 12th.
    I was in a wedding this past Friday night. And the one on the right was at the wedding, 2 days ago.
    the dress was a size 26 on left and I had ordered a 16 and had to have it taken in. I'm anywhere between a 12/14 now. It's just crazy that if you work your ass off and you will be successful.
    Im loving myself more and more everyday!!
    Thanks for checkin me out!!

    I had a NET GAIN, during my 3 month required nut visits.
    I had a lot going on suddenly at that time in my life, that lead to severe stress and emotional eating.
    ANYWAY, I appealed the first denial, and continued to keep NUT appts each month.
    I made sure I did not have another net gain.
    Yet my first appeal was denied.
    I then hired Lindstrom Obesity Advocacy to fight for my second level appeal.
    They told me because I had a bmi of 47 and more than 2 comorbitities,
    They believed they could overturn Aetna's decision.
    It was NOT guaranteed, but the Lindstroms assured me they would not take a case unless they felt they had a chance to win.
    After my level two appeal was submitted by Mr. Lindstom himself, 2-3 weeks later...
    I WAS APPROVED!!
    I was sleeved 1/5/15
    Best thing I've ever done!
