Last night I was able to drive a two passenger go kart and take my littlest for a fun ride! It's the little things which somehow feel like the biggest successes!

I have a lot of dogs sniffing up my dress that I wear and that did happen before the surgery too. But now the dogs are really going up there and I didn't even get dinner from the owner or a good night kiss from the dog

~stay off the scale the first month
~all Protein is not created equal. Eat real food over shakes and bars when possible
~don't compare yourself to anyone
~if you haven't dealt with your food issues before surgery you'll be faced with them after whether you want to deal with it or not.
~move your body
~I am no different than I was the day before surgery in most ways (which is ok cuz I like me).
~no magic or cure-this is for life and without making the changes I need to nothing will change long term.
~I have no regretted this surgery once, I haven't always enjoyed how I felt, but zero regrets (and zero complications)
~this is a wonderful opportunity that I feel grateful for.
This is just my list in two short months. I'm sure I'm missing lots of things. What have others learned?

I am super excited. The first time in over 16 years I am finally under 200#. This was my first mini goal. I've still got a ways to go but I'm happy with this today. 198# Yay

thanks everyone I see that 200pds coming g and I'm working hard to get there
