Congrats on your decision. I was going to ask you on another thread how your small business venture (I replied to your thread asking about small businesses months ago) was going. But I didn't want to hijack the thread.

Sounds like it is going wonderful.

Good for you, I am so glad that you are actually persuing what you really want in life. You have/had the hottie boss right? How did he take it? Did you have to give him an extended hug to make it all better????? ~Mandy

Doing something you really like, that excites and inspires you means you'll never have that "Aw nuts, it's Monday morning" feeling ever again. Isn't that wonderful?

Congratulations and knock 'em dead!

WONDERFUL !!! Now you don't have to put up with that girl in your office who annoys you (the one who eats pizza @ 8 AM and dances as she stuffs her pie hole).

WTG!!!!!

Erin is in pie-Heaven right now because of all the "Let's take Lisa to Lunch" food, the Bagels, donuts, Cookies... why does everyone think they need to feed me before I go? Do I look like I'm wasting away?

Thanks for all the support and encouragement! Nana, there are three kits to chose from so you can start for just a few hundred bucks. But I didn't start Slumber Parties for the money, I just thought it sounded like a fun hobby and I wanted to hang around all the amazing women. I had no idea it would explode into a full time career. The "sisterhood" sounds so cliché' but when you stand among thousands of empowered women, who have all taken control of their lives and destinies without relying on a man for ANYTHING, the confidence and self-esteem grow beyond imaginable proportions.

Last night a woman from the Slumber Advisory Board called me to invite me to a one-on-one dinner to see if there's anything I need help or support with during my transition. This morning another board member, whom I've never met, called me out of the blue to let me know she'll always be there for me (she has 300 women under her but she found time to call me?) The owner sent me e-mails of support, and that's just a few examples. There's no company of the face of the planet that cares so much about seeing women succeed. It's simply remarkable.

Slumber Parties isn't just going to pay the bills, but it's giving me the freedom to chase the rest of my dreams. I have several books started, I want to travel, and I can finally get my letter writing business under control, which I can't do trapped in these gray walls.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
