i really pondered whether to post this or not

(i do not want to come across as bragging or boasting)

however i wanted to share as its pretty darn kewl.

this week alone, 5 people have said something to me about my weight loss (from out of the blue)...3 did not know i have had the surgery.

1. Jennifer who is our companys CFO, came up to me and said you are looking so good.

2. Darielle came up to me and said whatever you are doing, keep it going as you are looking (skinny)

3. Pat who is one of our accountants said you are looking amazing

4. Tiffany said i can really tell you are losing weight.

5. Dunkin Doughnut drive thru lady said wow, you have lost some weight

so i said the thank you and how sweet (and the southern thing well bless your heart)...i am excited that people notice or are noticing....still difficult to say (thank you) but i am getting use to it :)

The Dunkin Donut drive thru lady?!

a) what the heck were you doing at Dunkin Junkin Donuts?

B) I thought southerners all swore to be faithful to Krispy Kreme?

But seriously, I'm proud of you for being able to share those comments. Nothing wrong with bragging on something you worked so hard for!

I always find it easier to accept compliments from strangers. I usually dismiss comments from coworkers and friends as being intentional encouragement. A peril of working in the behavioral health field is becoming jaded to praise as reinforcement.

I still (4 1/2 years out) will get a compliment from someone that hasn't seen me in awhile. While it still feels great, I also wonder-will they always remember the heavy me? I've been this size for 3 1/2 years now.

Of course this is the perfect forum to "brag". There are newbies out there that need to hear it. Congratulations on your success. You are an inspiration!

God Bless

      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!!
