204 scale finally moving again

Down to 205. I got married Saturday and the week before was trying to just maintain so my dress would fit right. Can't believe I'm 5lbs to onederland

I had surgery October 3rd officially it went to fb today. Not by me, but a dear friend has decided to start the process and tagged me in the post. It wasn't a secret and I'm open when someone asks, so I guess I am ok with that. So what feels right for you. It's your choice and only yours, in the end you have to live in your choice they don't. My dear husband was against it we were dating at the time, married a couple weeks ago. He was worried about my health. I by far am not where I want to be yet 4lbs to onederland, but seeing his face when someone said your wife is smoking hot" was priceless. I giggle when I hear oh my goodness you're so skinny, because I don't see it and I'm not there yet. It was all worth it, not for the compliments but I no longer take meds of any kind. This disabled woman, determined to work after disability, no longer hurts all the time. I can work a 40 week in 3.5 days and still be fully involved in my church and spend time with my stepson doing anything he wants to do. Not trying to think of something less strenuous but fun. Good luck on your journey

I take my Biotin and vitamins get my Protein. Water is my issue. Eating out and finding things I can have is an issue. I'm starting back to the gym this morning between work shifts and errands, its been awhile. I want to be under 200 by mid March. Weekends when we have my stepson is hard. He's such a picky eater. I absolutely hate even driving past those golden arches. My hair has been shedding about a month so around 3 months out. I have a lot so nobody notices except me and my new husband who is gracious enough to clean the drain out. Anesthesia has always made my hair shed anyways and I had 3 surgeries last year. Not complaining I know it will grow back. I track my food and stuff on spark people. I used to take about 8 different meds so forgetting vitamins for me doesn't really happen. I take the b/12 monthly by injection. Bible study is a great way to spend that time. It takes me longer to eat than before. chicken is hit or miss whether "roo" my pouch will be cantankerous and cooked broccoli may never happen. Most foods I tolerate, some more than others.

I came home on full liquids. Protein Shakes, sf pudding, yogurt. After 2 days in hospital. Each dr is different. Follow what they tell you

This deserves the start of a sticky... 1001 [WRONG] reasons you look like a million bucks!

1. Drugs
2. Tapeworm

I'm barely a month out, but my friend had her surgery almost 4 years ago and some people thought she was on drugs. It bothered her, but she didn't talk about it much

I had surgery October 3rd so I'm almost 5 months out. But started weight loss last January. Well I didn't post on Facebook or tell everyone. People close to me knew or if someone asked. I had a battle with cancer last year and my work was concerned about that, so I fessed up.
I got married Saturday February the 11th. Some distant family and friends attended who didn't know I had changed so much. A lady from my church who does know over heard 2 women contemplating "what had happened to me" drugs being one conclusion. Seriously. I'm the last person who would do that. My now husband a police officer by day pastor 24/7 I've never really even drank. Rant over just wondered if anyone not open about surgery ever had that happen.

I did, don't remember what it was. Didn't like what I tried which makes sense because I can't stand oreos. Not sure why I even thought it was a good idea

And I've lost 17 of those. My goodness

Congrats!!! What a transformation....

How INCREDIBLE!!! Isn't it amazing to see how many years comes off our appearance just by the weight loss? Absolutely amazing. You are beautiful, before and after!

Well, all that is left now is my cardiologist approval, which I will get on March 7th. Than I will start my 4 week opti fast diet, so probably looking at 1st or 2nd week in April for surgery. Dr .Eichhorn will do the surgery on a thrusday. Humana just sent me a letter today saying my surgery was approved. Still have to have a egd and colonoscopy on the 23rd of march, but that will be done during my opti fast diet. Ready to get this done and moving on.
