Awesome! I have to get cracking on that -- just got my date, which is August 5th. I have heard it takes about 6 weeks to get it back.

So I went and got my passport picture taken and filed my application! In my eyes that makes it official! Yay for moving in a positive direction!!!

I won't be able to get mine because even if I do everything online, I still have to go to the post office just to sign the documents in front of someone and they make you set up an appointment with them. Unfortunately their appointments are 3 week wait! Then another 3 to 5 weeks to receive the passport. That will be about 2 months away and I plan on going 1st week of June. I really hope I don't get held up when I leave Mexico. I do have my birth certificate and a couple of photo id's (drivers license work id etc.).

Also, call other post office locations...their appointment dates vary.. dramatically...some may get you in within a day or two..might mean driving a little farther but..worth it...

And to leave Mexico, you at least have to have PROOF that you have applied for the passport, so please go ahead and do that.

Call around every post office is different...another post office may get u in quick. And expediting gets it here rather quickly. And also our courthouse now does passport applications. Go to the passport website and find out where other locations are. They are cracking down on the passports now....

I've found a passport office that does walk ins. Will be going there next week. I called several post offices and they are all quoting 3 weeks or more before I can even get an appointment!

I got passports for two of my kids and my partner for the cruise we just went on. We applied the first week in March and the passports came in 2 weeks two days. And we did not order them expedited, which usually takes 2 weeks, not a couple of days.

One gal leaving with our group April 2 did not have a passport and it did not hold us up getting across the border.

I'm going through rushmypassport.com. I am finishing all the paperwork today and have to go get my photo taken. I was not aware that you could go, with only having PROOF of application. That's interesting.

      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!!
