It feels great! Everything is just so full of potential right now lol...

I'm not just doing this for cosmetic reasons--although those are important too :thumbup:

I want to be a special agent with the FBI and I'm learning another language, going back to school for my SECOND master's, and I paid of ALL my credit cards. But I realized a couple months ago that it'll all be for nothing if I can't pass a stinkin PFT :thumbdown:!!

Sooooo...I figured I'm not gonna get done in 13 months (about length of application process) what I haven't been able to do in 13 years without a little help. So wish me good providence; I am SO READY!! :blushing:

I got my approval letter recently also and it is such a relief knowing that all of the appointments I have had for the past six months wouldn't be a waste (in a manner of speaking).

I am also scheduled for surgery now on May 19, 2010.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
