Yeah, Kimberly!!!!! Start getting used to drinking lots of Water NOW! and trying not to drink w/ your meals or 30 min. to an hr. after. It will really help you to already be in that habit BEFORE surgery. I'm so excited for you!

WEll, I have to tell you all that I am MOSTLY excited about the potential for new clothes! I am so tired of my black, khaki or brown clothes--i never wear much color--

My passion in the summer is Lilly Pulitzer--no plus size there, so my goal is to buy some for NEXT summer and look as good as I will feel!

I just bought a 2X Lilly-like shirt from Key West, but I need it for a party--my last fat summer party!

I can't wait till next summer!

New clothes, new bod! OMG! Laughing just thinking about what everyone will say!

Yes, the dark colors! Don't you feel like you're going to a never-ending funeral? And I really don't know if dark colors "minimize" that much anyway.

Taking a break from my shopping, ahem....hate to miss a good sale!

How long for you guys between "approved" and "done"????

They said they will call me to schedule, but I don't know if that means "wait by the phone" or go live your life for three weeks......

PARALYZED with EXCITEMENT!

Dacry--I will definately take you up on the shopping spree--Lord knows there is no shopping up here in the woods--unless you like Carharts!

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
