    For anyone considering surgery, this has been the best thing I've ever done for myself! As of today, I'm 5 days from 4 months post-op and down 60 lbs So happy with the scale for the first time in my life...I'm far from goal but far from where I started...it's a hard road but completely worth it! <3

    So I'm on this committee that meets the 2nd Tuesday of every month. I missed last month since I was on FMLA and this month's meeting (I'm 2 months out) was today. It is in the college of pharmacy in a classroom that we reserve so it has those chairs with the tiny desk thing that goes up and down in front of you. I hope you know what I mean. Prior to surgery, I would always have to leave the desk up and pull another chair over to me in order to write/look at portfolios on that chair's desk because the desk would come nowhere close to going down. Got some funny looks the first few months that I did that.
    Today, I went in, sat in my usual seat, started to scoot another desk over and stopped. I kinda looked around to see if anyone was paying attention and decided to lower the desk on my chair to see how much farther I would have until I could put it down. IT WENT ALL THE WAY DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    I had to tell someone and I was afraid people I know would think I'd gone crazy for being so excited about something like that....figured I could Celebrate here without anyone thinking I was TOO crazy!

    I am so lucky to have the amazing support system I do...first and foremost, my husband has been wonderful throughout this process and has always stuck by me making us healthy dinners. My mother in law had the sleeve done too about 4 years ago so she's been wonderful. My mom has seen me struggle with my weight my entire life and although she was hesitant at first, she's seen the new life this process has handed me and wants to have it done too! My 2.5 year old has been so patient...from me not being able to hold her for 2 weeks (hardest thing I've ever done) to kissing the "boo boos" on mommy's tummy...she's my reason for wanting to be healthy. My best friend's mom had her sleeve procedure done 2 weeks before mine so she's been wonderful from being a gym partner to someone to talk to and lean on and someone to share the process with. The rest of my family and friends have been encouraging, supportive and wonderful...I am so fortunate to not have any negativity in my life regarding this decision...it's been the greatest thing I've ever done for myself and my family! I go to the boxing gym weekly, go to the gym, run & I'm running my first 5K this weekend...I'm certain I never would be doing this without this new found confidence/determination.

    I have to say that there is nothing wrong with veggies, fruit, or Beans, and yes, mainstream nutritional advice from the medical and scientific community, which I accept, is that there is no need to restrict any of these - they about as healthy as food gets, and being low in caloric density, measuring them out isn't necessary like it might be for healthy foods like nuts that have high caloric density.
    The profile of Vitamins, minerals and beneficial phytochemicals is different for each, so you want to get a wide variety in your veggies, fruit, and Beans, so just keep switching up what you are eating. Summer is prime time for local fresh fruits and veggies so now is the time to take advantage!
    Other top notch nutritional choices would be fin-fish, shell-fish, and turkey and chicken, especially the skinless breast meat of the birds.
    Also good for some variety are whole grains and lowfat dairy items.
    I like the free information here, it's science-based and simple to follow. This is a nutritional website from the Harvard School of Public Health.

    Everyone looks amazing!!! I remember when I first signed up for this website to see what I was getting myself into. On September 11, 2014 I decided to have the sleeve done. My highest weight was 290 pounds. My surgery weight was 275 and my current weight today is 123. This was the best decision I have ever made! Wish I would've done it sooner!
