78 days laterrr.....

78 days post-op. yet I still can't even believe that I had the surgery. Doesn't feel real. I have so much going on, but this decision is always on my mind. I am doing well, but I can't help but think about my life without this surgery and what it might be like now. I am almost down 50+ pounds and am really overwhelmed, and excited! I am so blessed to have a family that supports me, but I wish I could just support myself. I feel like every time I get excited about something, the next thing to happen is either bad news, or saddening.

50 pounds is a huge deal! Try to stay positive! And we ALL need support....don't beat yourself up for needing your family. Some people on this board don't have families who support them, so WE have to support them! You are a step ahead for having people in your life who love you and want you to be healthy. Keep up the great work!

Hi Chloe -- congratulations on getting that weight off and remaining positive during difficult times.. Life is not easy sometimes, but what a difference it is to be able to navigate stress with a healthy body to help carry us through. Don't forget to pat yourself on the back and take a lot of deep breaths. Best wishes!

Hi Chloe. I'm just curious. Is your last name Houston or do you live in Houston? If you live in Houston we are meeting at the Galleria this Saturday at 2 p.m. at the food court by the ice rink.

I get the blah and not excited feeling. I posted about it last week actually. I took everyones advice and did some me things this weekend and I feel much better.

Get a pedi, walk the mall. Its amzing the more you have you time the better things fall into perspective. You are doing great!
