My pre op appointment was yesterday and everything went great. I still can't believe that I am going to finally be done with the port and the band. No more nights scared to eat dinner to have to stay up til 3 am waiting for my food to digest or waking up because I threw up in my sleep. Those long nights are over. So now I am preparing for my 3 day liquid diet to shrink my liver. The big day is April 30th and I have recieved nothing but support from my closest friends and family. I am just ready to live again. I want to wear a swim suit (to embarassed to wear one), go skating or wear a sexy dress with heel to dinner with my hubby. I have been living in a shell for 4 years dealing with the issues I was having with my band. Now the time has finally arrived and there is NO TURNING BACK NOW! It took me 2 years to finally decide that this was the right road for me. I was embarassed about gaining some of the weight back and for even thinking about a revision. I didn't want to hear people saying I did the the surgery once and why would I do it again. But it's not about what people will say or what they think. It's not about them. It's about ME! The new healthier me that wants to live a long healthier life and have the wedding I never got to have with the man of my dreams, my biggest supporter, my best friend...My husband.

Here's to the beginning of a new journey to the NEW ME!

Thank you so much! I really needed to see those scriptures. God is continuing to show up in my life. He is so amazing..I do have a question though..Below the scripture you have a log of your weight loss. How can I add that feature?

It's in the signature section of your profile. When you go to settings there is a signature tab and you can add it there. I type it in every week right above the add in for my tickers. I wish it would do it for me but it reminds me to figure up what I have lost each week not just in the big picture. Keeps me motivated! :)

Hey if your weights are right then your math is wrong (on your signature)! You are down 10 pounds, not just three!!

Yes he is amazing! I'm right there with you and cannot wait to get this band out of me and start my new life! My husband and I got married at the jp and would love to have a vow renewal! Hopefully I am looking pretty good for our 10 year anniversary trip to Hawaii in January and we could do it there! I'm wishing you the best of luck and congrats!

      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.
