Well here I am at two months. I continue to learn new things every day. I reached my first goal of 50 pounds and am thrilled by the weight loss I've had so far. I am also enjoying a few NSV's

*My feet don't hurt when I walk

*I went up three flights of stairs and it wasn't very overwhelming (hee hee)

*Pre op I used to have horrible stomach issues (really uncomfortable diarehha every single day) and I was totally used to it and just figured it was a part of my life. Now I don't feel like that at all.

I am also learning new things all the time. I am learning to trust myself, in the past I have started so many diets and even as I began them knew that I wouldn't be successful. I am starting to believe in my ability. I am learning to question my triggers for certain foods. I have been wonderfully supported by my boyfriend and friends who are willing to talk it through with me if I don't understand my own motivations.

I feel so blessed to be headed in the right direction. I know that I have so much more work to do physically, mentally, and spiritually to be at the place I want to be, but I'm pretty sure that is what life is supposed to be about. Thank you so much for being a support to me, answering my questions, and being a soft place to land. I appreciate you all so much!

Thank you so much! I am actually just starting to exercise formally. (That is not a good example!) I ordered hip hop abs and am gonna try a few dvds, my gym membership expires next month and I work 70 hours a week so I have to have things I can do at home. I am really excited to hear your surgery is so soon! Keep posting and if you ever need to vent or talk feel free to PM me. There are things that happen post op that feel like you are the only person they are happening to, but I promise we've all been there.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
