This NY gal is ready for opening day!

I’m 13 months, still losing hair 🤷🏼‍♀️

Day one of fall sports...running the boys around to karate and baseball today

Thank goodness for a rest day, my buns hurt. Donated an ottoman to a mom in need, Delivering it tomorrow

You have four days left, you have to keep to your meal plan otherwise your liver won’t be in good enough shape. You can sustain anything for four days! Think of how empowering it feels to win, over food! You are stronger then any craving

I changed what I was eating in April 2018, spread the word that I was seeing a nutritionist (technically I was). I’m a teacher so I left in June and returned in September 50 lbs lighter, but to them that was over the course of 6 months, not super dramatic. Then when people see you everyday, they don’t tend to notice the changes because it’s not so drastic. They get used to seeing you. I talked a lot about working with my trainer and my meal plans and people never asked me. If they suspected WLS, no one mentioned it.

Yep, I do it all the time. My family complains that my drinks taste too “watered down” but I just can’t take the sweetness

Tried it over the summer (I’m 14 months out) and it made me SO SICK

If chicken is too dry I will puke it right up. I just have to be careful

1. Personal goal-lose the last 10 lbs 2. Bypass in July of 2018 (lost 128 pounds) 3. Current weight 160 lbs 4. Advanced squat 5. My jiggly legs because they remind me how far I have come

I second that! That skirt is fabulous

No, no, no,no, no...take out that meal plan your surgeons office gave you and follow it! Protein shakes are gross; yep, drink them anyway. You crave “real” food; of course, but if it’s not in your plan, do not put it in your mouth. During my liquid diet phase I used to get so excited when I could have my big chewable multivitamin because I missed chewing. This is a tough phase but you’ll get through it, buckle down and start doing the work

People can be supportive without knowing the whole truth. My friends, coworkers, work out buddies,etc have all been so supportive with my diet and exercise, they don’t need to know about my surgery 😉

I love it, but it seems to stick in the back of my throat so I avoid it

This morning my youngest and I are doing the “Kindergarten Practice Bus Run” for the district. I’m feeling like a healthy, confident young mom 😉

Just took my boys to universal a couple weeks ago, I brought my huge water bottle filled with protein powder and lots of healthy snacks. I’m over a year out, so not the same but just plan ahead and you’ll do great

I always thought it had something to do with people vomiting and aspirating during surgery. That’s why they wanted your stomach empty. I don’t know. I was clear liquids until Midnight and nothing afterward

I did a “trash the dress” for fun and my son took these amazing pictures for me

Fit back into my wedding Dress

I’d call your insurance company and ask them what is the specific requirement, mine only submitted my starting weight

I would buy a few nice pairs of dress pants, but everything else came from goodwill. Skirts are easy to wear even if they are a little big, leggings are great too

Getting my hair did this morning, keeping it comfy

“I could never do weight loss surgery, I wouldn’t want to take all those vitamins”....uh, what? That’s what’s holding you back? Vitamins?

You’ll be fine, but remember you are doing the pre-op diet to shrink your liver and make your surgery safer. It’s super important

Out for a day at the parks with the boys. Loving my new Hogwarts shirt
