    @@Veronica Page stay strong! Believe in yourself. I believe in you. You got this. Try and I know it's so haaaaard but learn to appreciate the low moments of this journey so when high moments come you can look back and realize what a bad ass you are! Xoxo. Low moments don't last they may tend to drag on more than what we want..but really u got this! It's a daily struggle for me mentally. My daughter is in sports so it's constantly on the go, grab to eat. I settle for mcds breakfast burrito or cheese stick from a gas station or a slice of pizza and eat the toppings Or I keep drinking more water. ITS A SLIPPERY slope, but those days I remember to pack something or drive by and not stop. I am victorious that day

    Got plastic surgery dates....

    Had my pre op visit today the dr. Was adamant I get the lift now.. He hadn't seen me since the first visit in September and I've lost more weight in the boobs of course, I decided on silicone high profile 500 cc, so nervous about the lift and scars, since I already have so many with the sleeve and gall bladder taken out.. Ugh have to make up my mind by tomorrow ????????????

    I completely feel ya @mduffield. It's so strange..I even miss aspects of my old body..no one understands unless they've gone through it. I miss my chubby face really bad I'm noticing friends act differently to me, I am me big or small..never knew how many people really paid attention to my previous body that they are now coping with my weight loss..sooo weird. And have so many opinions. .

    Yes @ zzzombrie I too feel my face and body has aged. My husband thinks I have body dismorphia or image issues since the weightloss lol

    I'm not sure if it's my gallbladder removal or dumping.. I've learned oil, butter, or anything a bit greasy like ham or if I eat too fast, it's a bathroom rush.

    I did okay.. I tried ham and wither i ate it too fast and pooped the pants :/ so had to leave early. I have finally started to stall at 111.. good thing.. On a good note I am getting boobs on 12/6 )) Great job everyone and as always thank you for the support!!

    @@bdcsail what is that? How well was your recovery with pain medicine? I know I can't have a lot of the pain medications with my sleeve any suggestions? With my excess skin I'm wanting to go bigger but I don't want to go too big.. Thank you for your reply I've been stressing out about this ????
