I am.. And much more comfortable [emoji18] Thank you!

You are so right.. That's all I really wanted when I first started, too FEEL better. Now I also like what I see along with how I feel ..the simple things I took for granted before gives me so much peace now. And thanks.

Thank you so much!! I just have to keep my dedication fresh there's so much food temptation around me having children.

Thank you!!!

Thank you!! I did work hard and I'm still working hard, it's a everyday battle.

Hello ladies checking in with you all again. [emoji56] how are you? How's your journey going? Hope to hear from some of you soon.

Awh shucks thanks girl. I pray you have the same results if not better. I feel so much better. It's a wonderful feeling.

Thank you.

Wow... now you are going to be turning some heads! Yes!!! Seems surreal. I look and feel so different .. I like.

They are. They try not to say it a lot without out saying I love you no matter what size you are lol. They are careful because they don't want to hurt my feelings I suppose .. But we all know mommy has changed and we all love it!! Thank you!!

It took me about a month and a half to see a change. I went from a 20 to 16, now I can wear 8-11 depending on the store and where you shop.

Thanks I feel fantastic too. And so will you! I was a ball of nerves leading up to surgery. I was worried about every single thing all for nothing it went fine. But you can't help it .. The day I stopped worrying was right after they were done I wouldn't change anything about it.

Yes the process would have been much faster had I seen the psychologist sooner his schedule was hectic that's what took the longest. I was done with everything by July! But thank you I'm totally embracing everything. And enjoying life for the first time in a long time. Congrats on starting your journey! @@Muted_Tummy

Thank you so much!!! I believe you have to experience it to understand it's no cake walk! But well worth it @@cookarue

before and after current weight is 151.5 weight in the before 242 weight in the after 155.5

You are so welcome. I have had those days and it's an uphill battle some days are better then others... How the diet? Exercise regimen? that's what's usually the situation with me. My eating to many wheat crackers with my tuna lol. It will get better. Trust me!

Thanks!! Yea restaurant eating still amazes me .. I love it even more I'm basically paying for lunch and dinner I'm always tickled by that. I'm going to have to try the burger with the mushrooms I've never had them before. Sounds tasty! I always joke that I'm a "cheap date" now, because I'm always ordering off the appetizer menu or just sharing an entree. Right!! My husband is way more willing to go out now!! He says this is the cheapest he's ever spent. He loves it.

Thank you so much I appreciate it. I just try to make myself busy. That's the only way to get around bored eating

Thank you, I did sometimes a turkey burger with organic ketchup 2 grams of sugar lol and mustard.. Haven't had one post op just pre op.

Thank you.. Me, my husband and children are enjoying life.

I started this process in June/2015 the surgery was August/2015. I went through so many different emotions, one of the largest hurdles was bored eating. My family didn't support me. The only 2 people that did was my husband and sister. Everyone else said it was the "easy way out". I couldn't play with my children. Go on field trips with them or anything like that. I would sit on the bench during the time at the park because I couldn't keep up with them with out feeling out of breath and embarrassing them. I Had to sleep downstairs sometimes because I couldn't make it up stairs. (Laziness) Coming to this decision was never an easy task, but ultimately the best decision I've made in a long time. I've hit stalls, have extra skin, boobs are non existent [emoji23][emoji23] etc, but I wouldn't change anything about this journey. Sure I can't eat like I did before but who would miss that when that's the reason I was overweight to begin with. There are days that I want a burger with the works lol, but I'm learning to curb my cravings or wants. I love the new me and I won't allow food to win ever again.
