Best advice - cancel your life insurance now! She won’t stab you then, she might need you.
You are just going to have to prove her wrong, show her that WLS does work.
She is probably feeling insecure and worried that you may decide to find someone else once you are looking super hot. Reassure her and remember pregnancy hormones are a b***h!

technically, HIPAA doesn't apply to employers. but it would certainly be violating several employee privacy acts and company policies.

Outside of my husband I only told my two best friends. I won't tell my family because of how toxic they can be.

I'm simple, my wake up call was the team of guys at 6 flags that had to push down on the roller coaster safety bar so I could ride.
I just want to get on and secure the safety bar without a team pushing

I have never posted pictures on here because I never wanted to put out what I used to look like as I am no longer that person. I am a new person but have come to terms that I wouldn't be who I am today if I hadn't lived life as a larger person. I also know that when I started out looking at other people's pictures were such at motivation for me so I am hoping these will help someone in return. The picture of me at my largest was after I had my son. I had lost a significant amount of weight before my day of surgery which is the pic of me looking grumpy and in pain.

I have almost every item shared so far! Especially daughter graduation in June.
I would add not feeling like a freak or slug when in a group of people talking about physical activities and exercise.
Going to plays at theatre and not being worried about fitting into seats, come on Broadway!

I got the call today and they scheduled me for Tuesday (the 19th). Stoked my liquid diet is only 1 week!!!!

This will be only mildly amusing to some. It's been a while since I could feel my balloon 24/7, usually only when I've eaten, am running or doing some body mindfulness meditation (so insanely helpful when you're not sure that you are feeling full, I've been following a mindful eating philosophy and it is hugely helpful).
Anyway, today I was sitting on my sofa chatting with some friends, I was sitting with my left leg curled up against my chest and I got excited about the conversation and bounced a bit. So I am very amused to share that when my knee is bent up and I bounce I can hear a bouncy/sloshing noise coming from my balloon. The little guy is just saying 'hi'.
I can make it happen on demand, so I can now add 'expensive party trick' to the list of Orbera benefits

Best decision of my life! Yesterday was my 9 month post op check in with the surgeons office. Everything is looking great and I have lost 132 pounds since surgery! My bmi is almost to being out of the obese range and I am about 45 pounds from my personal goal weight.
My heaviest weight in 2011 was 376
My surgery weight in September 2015 was 319
My current weight is 187!!!!
First picture is almost at my heaviest, then purple shirt is 11 days before surgery and black & white top is last week.

My consultation was June 17th and I'm having surgery July 5th
