I could talk to a brick wall so talking to myself on the way to work came naturally lol!! The support you get is amazing, thats why i started doing it in the first place. You definitely get used to it and it becomes kind of fun you should do it!! It's also great looking back and seeing the changes.

Yes, that's how I felt. So, when I pulled into my driveway, I said it's now or never!!!

I understand...my face looks so swollen. This last 30 lbs that I gained was brutal.

I just checked it out!! You were great... Short and sweet (If those vids are too long, I usually skip around anyway).

Ive been debating on if I should start a vlog as well. For me, I know it would officially make my choice of WLS open to the public. But, So what?? you only live once

Great Job!!!

Thank you! It is a tough decision, because people are so judgemental. I decided that this is the best way for me to monitor my progress & myself accountable. Good luck & let me know what you decide!!!

I thought about that a lot too. What if someone i know see's me. Then I said eff it! Atleat i'm losing weight. they probably aren't ........OR maybe they got to my page because they are trying and they need to. You'll be getting a lot of thank yous ...it feels good knowing you helped someone or your someones motivation!! Can't wait to feel that again!

Thats true.... One of the most re-assuring things when I finally decided if this was right for me was watching You-tube videos. its really motivating to see someone just like you change before your eyes with pictures, and learning the ends and outs from their words....It feels as though we are taking the journey with them

When are you getting sleeved littlemiss?

Little Bits

Im still waiting on final approval..I submitted to insurance end of May. My primary doc has to re-write her recommendation letter Re- submit, then I pray that this goes through.....

I will say a prayer for you too!!! I'm getting ready to go to the hospital as we speak. Wish me luck!

Little Bits

Little Bits: you did it!!! Im so proud of you I cant wait until you tell us details!! Remember to walk ,sip, and rest....

Littlemiss, everything went well. I haven't had too many problems. My blood sugar levels have been really good over the past few days & I'm not even on meds...yay!

I have had a few complications, but nothing to worry about too much...

My potassium levels were down & my white blood cells count was/is elevated. They gave me meds for the potassium issue, but they haven't done much for the white blood cell problem.

Also, my blood levels dropped this morning but I'm anemic...so that's not uncommon. Anyway, I'm doing great! The only physical pain that I feel is coming from the incision with the drain. I will feel much better when that is removed.

All in all, I can't complain! The hospital staff is fabulous!!! I'm just ready to go home. I have to repeat my labs at noon, and if all is well I can go home...yay!!! Although, I am not in a rush. I want everything to be on point before I leave.

Please overlook any grammatical errors. I just took my pain medication.

Take care & thanks for checking on me.
