    Thanks so much! You will-just follow what ur doc says and WORK OUT everyday. I do not take a day "off" unless I'm not feeling well or I'm exhausted and need sleep. Even if it's 30 mins of walking the neighborhood. did u have surgery yet?

    Walk walk walk walk walk walk walk!!
    And walk!!
    Hahah, I have been walking since the day after I came home from surgery. Everyday.
    I used to try to get 1-2 miles in the first 2 weeks, then 3-4 since then.
    Just keep moving. And you will FEEL great!
    I also got the Fitbit and I am obsessed with it.
    Message me, keep in touch, I'd love to help in anyway I can!!

    Just wanted to thank you for your kind words. I was where you are now too. I had a hard time deciding. But I then realized this is not an easy fix. I am going to have to work my tush off and change the way i look at food, the way I eat, and the way I think about food.
    I am so happy I went with this. This is one of the greatest opportunity for all of us. It's a gift no doubt...and I do not plan on wasting it!! I fought hard to have this done.
    I was denied twice last year for this surgery. Because I had a net gain during my 3 month nut visits. My 37 year old husband had a heart attack and needed a triple heart bypass last year. He is doing well now but it has been a terrible struggle, physically and mentally. 2014 was the worst year of my life. I ended up hiring lindstrom obesity advocacy and they fought my 2nd level appeal. And WON!
    I began my process jan 7th 2014, my husband had his heart attack 2/6/14.
    He had his open heart surgery on 2/14/14 (❤️ what are the odds)
    I gained weight. Denied 7/7/14.
    Denied again 8/16/14.
    9/1/14 hired lindstrom obesity advocacy in CA.
    10/11/14 APPROVED!!
    Surgery date (because of work I had to wait) was set for Jan 5th 2015.
    This is my year, I am taking back my life. I will not be put down, made to feel inferior, or like i am worthless.
    This has been the strongest I've felt ever. And if there is anything I can do to help anyone, let me know, so many people got me to this point on here, I don't know how I would be mentally without the support I receive here.
    Thank you again and I'm so happy you decided with the sleeve!
    You will love it!!

    Hello all!
    So I had my real first OMG moment.
    I went dress shopping for a wedding I'm in, left picture is 2 weeks after surgery, jan 19th and right picture was today! April 12th.
    Same dress but 5 sizes smaller.
    84 pounds down from
    December 27th 2015.
    I was blown away by the side by sides. I can't stop looking and smiling at this picture!! This is, by far, the best thing I have ever done for myself. Today...I'm very proud! ????????
