Beachbum, Chanvita, cindy, thanks for all of your encouragement!

When I first saw the new pic (in the red dress), I could definitely tell something was different! Sometimes it is harder to see it tho. Isn't that funny?

I'm 5'2" and have lost 57# since my initial consult, 37# since surgery 8 weeks ago. I'm trying real hard to maximize my golden 6 months and at 2 or 3 weeks out I joined a gym. Have been doing Zumba 3x/week. I have now been incorporating weights into my workout. Having energy to move is such an amazing feeling!!

So far, I've gone from a 2x top to Large. Size 20 pant and dress to size 14. SA-WEET!!

It's terrible tho. I've become addicted to losing weight! I want more off now!!! lol!! Don't worry, I'm not doing anything crazy!

I did, however, have to miss my 6 week appt, so if anyone has any tips, please share!

Everyone - keep getting healthy!

I did where some have a little tougher time when they have the gall bladder out at the same time. But they felt better in a couple days. Hang I'm there and do what you can to feel better. I know it's rough and try to walk.

Oh Chanvita - I'm so sorry! Hang in there kiddo! Did you ask them if they could change your pain medication to see if that's what is making you ill? Sometimes you are having a type of allergic reaction to some of your meds and that's what !makes you throw up. Praying for you!

Chanvita! So glad you are home - it's all uphill from here. I didn't have what I would call pains in my legs but I had like spasms that I figured were caused by those ding dang automated squeezers they had on my l was in the hospital. Had the worst case of restless leg syndrome for about 3 days but then it stopped. Went for my post op appt and got my staples removed today. Girl - I've lost 18 lbs since surgery! We are on our way!

      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!!
