Crochet Queen

@@Crochet Queen - I'm the same way...sit down next to me and you get my life story, and if you're lucky, you get the short version. I haven't posted it on social media, but anyone who asks about my weight loss gets the truth. I can't be bothered with trying to keep up with what to tell to whom. My filters don't work like that.
I live my life out loud and I refuse to be ashamed of the choices that I make for myself. Mr. Wonderful wasn't totally on board, but he is now. My family, friends, and co-workers are excited for me and we are all looking forward to what the future holds. If there are haters out there, they know better than to throw that shade at me!

Why don't people share? I guess everyone has their reasons. I think some are embarrassed that they could not defeat the battle on their own. I have also had that feeling myself. But I realized that is nothing to be embarrassed about! I am proud of myself for doing something about this as I have many medical conditions I didn't have 2 years ago as a result of my weight gain. I am going to have a healthy life.
I am the type of person that is a pretty open book so for me I will tell anyone that stays still for 5 minutes, I am not a private person. Not that I share absolutely everything about my life to everyone. I still believe the main reason is embarrassment. It is within our human nature to try to not have the feeling of embarrassment which is why I think people keep certain information to themselves. Just my opinion :-)

Silly me, but if I were to go into that much detail I would just say I had surgery. It seems much easier.

Yes, I believe this is quite common with people that are overweight. It is no joke though. My liver enzymes has been elevated as a result of my fatty liver. This of course is not good for your liver as it can cause scarring over long-term. Losing weight is the best way to combat fatty liver. my sleeve gastroplasty procedure is scheduled for April 21 looking forward to getting rid of my high blood pressure fatty liver and horrible reflux and bringing down my A1 C!

I like to read!!
I like building with Legos with my kiddo!
I love to Crochet. ❤️❤️
Really any type of playing is fun. I do like to color, but kids books-- I would like to branch out into the adult coloring books!
Here is a scarf I made for my self last week and a Lego fort my son and I made yesterday.  

I already have a hobby which is crocheting and has provided a little side business so I can make some money on something I love doing!

Victoria - Do you mean "2.5 weeks pre opt" or post opt.
NOTHING upsets my stomach. I'm adding green Tabasco to my eggs and refried Beans. I'm adding spicy low carb BBQ Sauce to my mashed sweet potatoes. That said, 4 ounces is my limit for anything of substance (it's probably 3 ounces, but I can't bring myself to prepping such a small portion.)
Of course this may change with solid foods!

I'm talking quietly because I'm a boy in the girls' room, but...
I like this thread...
I like the theme...
It's my absolute favourite...
If you know what I mean...
