:faint: It has been a year? :faint:

The day of my first consult I was 135ish kg(297lbs). Today I weighed in at 77kg (169lbs). Not bad for a year huh? I had my 1 year follow up today, and Dr said that some time in Sept we would start thinking about a Tummy Tuck, if I get this last 9-10kg off. I think I can do it :welldone2:

I went from a tight 26/28 to a loose 14, snug 12.

Yay me! :clap2: 10kg to go!

Thanks everyone! This year has just buzzed by! I have no idea where it went to be honest.

I was almost a week post op when the "before" pics were taken... And I lost like 25-30lbs on Optifast (I was on it for 3 weeks pre op. 3 weeks of hell) Then I lost another 10 lbs or so before these pics were taken. I really regret no keeping better records. *sigh*

Thanks Kathy, Fee.

My Dr said if it was not for my tattoo on my lower back, he would have thought it was someone else! LOL I have to agree with him, I do look very different.

Thanks guys!

And I have brought myself an anniversary gift! A realy nice gold bangle. It is just devine, cost far too much, and is perfect! I had it engraved "To me, for being me, Love me"

The engraver looked at me like I was a weirdo! Maybe I am lol!

      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!!
