Hey y'all! I'm doing good. Losing about a pound a day. At the soft food stage. My stomach has been handling everything just fine. Haven't gotten sick once! I felt good enough to join a gym this week. Super yay! I'm REALLY excited to be gaining more energy!

My bathroom activity has been troubled quite a bit tho. :(

Dealing with a bit of head hunger at times and cravings still. But I haven't strayed from my diet.

That's all I can say for now. Thank you guys for checking in on me!

All I can say is thankfully that discomfort went away within a few days. But I will say I was unprepared for how it would feel. It reminded me of when I was pregnant for my first daughter and I carried REAL high so it was hard to take a breath. That's what it felt like post op. and the morphine only took the edge off that kind of pain. I had one sleepless night. And was ill tempered as a result!!

I'm really doing well. Still no issues.. Yay! It's not severe, but I have periodically felt sorry for myself. I know it's just a phase. And I feel bad for feeling that way. But i still follow the rules. And this week I was able to complete an hour long Zumba class THREE TIMES!!

You will!

I was at an event today and got my first dose of attention on account of the weight loss. It was weird. For someone who is comfortable around groups of people, I didn't know what to do or how to react! Lol!

Surgery was May 15 - down over 50. Yesterday I had to attend a funeral while I am out of town. I brought a couple of dresses and a pants suit in case of dressy events (size 20). I tried on my clothes and they all fell off. I was shocked... Had to run to Belks and pick up a dress. Imagine my surprise when I bought a size 14 even though the sales person thought I should have gotten the 12. People at the Funeral constantly complimented everything. It was almost overwhelming the amount of attention that I received... New days - got to learn to Rock this sleeve & new body.... Blessings Y'all!

      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.

      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!!
