I think some people have the misconception that I lost almost 100 lbs in the 2 months from surgery. Nope I lost almost 100 lbs in a years time. I've lost about 37 lbs since surgery. But still 100lbs is a 100lbs gone and it will never come backwink.gifbiggrin.gif

You should feel very proud of yourself and all you've accomplished in the last year. Losing 100lbs is fantastic however you do it! And I agree with your husband - you've always been a beauty, but now I can see your confidence is starting to shine through and you're even more attractive.

When I go back and look at my "before" pics, I don't even recognize that person anymore. You already look like a "new you". Congrats on all your success!

Ok I'm really not a writer but here it goes. At my all time highest I was 309lbs, yes 309 ahhhh. I was sleeved on Nov 9th and I now weight, drum roll plz... 214 lbs, yes I went there and said my weight. Now my scale and I are having some arguments because it's not moving, it's stayed the same for 3 weeks. So I went to a support meeting from with a few girls from this site and I was told I look amazing and so on, aww shucks. After the meeting I told my hubby I actually feel pretty now and I'm not even at goal. Then hubby has to say what all hubby's say when they don't want to be in the dog house, "baby you've always been beautiful." During the meeting it was brought up that I really need to post some before and after photos on here so people can see the difference and yes if your struggling and having issues you will get past it. I went from a ugly duckling to a swan in my book and I'm sooo not done. If I can do this anyone can.

Yeah, hubbies have to say stuff like that, but it's true, you look absolutely great and you did before as well.

The one with you and DH hugging, you look so pretty.

Congrats on your weight loss and keep up the great work!!

      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.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      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!!
