Had surgery October 26th 292lbs.
As of November 8th 262lbs.

It all started with my first trip out of the country. My best friend was getting married at a Mexican destination. Being a single parent (uh... hate saying that) I had limited funds but all my good friends were going. So to save some money I roomed with the grooms friend I had never met. Heard lots of wonderful things about him. Turns out he wasn’t so wonderful. Weather I came up with this in my head, or it’s true. I felt like he didn’t want to get to know me, be seen with me, or admit to rooming with me because of the weight I was. It ruined my whole vacation. We fought, I cried, and normally I’m just a easy to get along fun joking person. But I have never felt soo judge in my life. In that moment I knew this wasn’t the life for me. So 5 months later I am returning to Mexico to start a whole new journey, the one I should of lived from the start! In 10 days I am going for surgery!!! Can’t wait!

October 6th. Heading to Mexico [emoji1319]

I've been trying to work on the 1/2 before, 1 hour after drink arrangements. It's slow going but I realized how much "washing down" was actually going on; never thought about this before.
I'm a size 18. I ordered a $5 skirt in size 6 and will hang this somewhere I can see it so I can keep my eye on the prize.
I've been stashing chapsticks everywhere so I don't forget one day of surgery (though I'm doing outpatient and will hopefully be home by the evening)
I've been bugging my husband to take before pictures and help me take measurements... one of these days!
When I first started this journey I read everything I could get my hands on... then I settled down a bit. Recently I picked up the thread again and started reading and revisiting various sites but especially those pertaining to my surgeon (reviews) and day-of accounts. I had a period of doubt but now the whole thing seems like a good choice again [emoji4]
Oh yeah; and I've been living out scenarios in my head on how I will react when people can't believe what they're seeing ( a lot of Rita Hayworth-like hair flipping going on in my mind!)
