So in the last couple of days I've had some WOW monents, I wanted to share with you all........before surgery I was wearing a 4x pants to work this morning I put on a pair of 2x pants. Yesterday I walked to the grocery store up the street from my job which is up a hill and I had to walk up about 30 steps. I'm so proud of myself and happy as well.

Awesome!!!

I've gotta tell ya, with the whole weight loss journey - it's the NSV's that keep me moving along more than checking the scale. Keep up the excellent work!! :) Keep sharing your successes with us too! It keeps me even more motivated!

My insurance didn't cover my operation, but due to where I live, I was able to have the sleeve done in Lima, Peru for $5,000. Losing weight has bought me my freedom back. Freedom to smile again and feel good about getting out. I had my surgery last month and down 35 pounds, BMI was 40, now it is 34, so I am on my way. I say WOW every day. Great job everyone. Your stories inspired me my first two weeks, when post-op wasn't so much fun as now!

      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!!
