Realizing that knee high boots do/will fit me this fall and receiving multiple compliments on my size M dress. My dad pointed out when I kept getting them that no one ever commented on my clothes pre op.

I'm a teacher and for the past 2 years I couldn't cross my legs under the lunch table. I did it the other day without even realizing it for a minute...but when I did realize it I wanted to stand up and shout it to my class!'

I got a notification from paperback swap that one of the diet books on my wish list was available. Guess I don't need that now!!

I can so relate to this! Only after surgery did I realize how much of my time was previously spent in learning about the best diets.

I guess I now spend that time on VST instead :)

I went shopping this weekend and decided to see what the Loft has available. I have never been able to buy anything in that store because they only go up to a size 16.

Well guess what? I finally fit into their clothes. I bought a dress for work (size Large) and a sweater jacket ( size Large). Yahoo!!!!

My thrilling NSV (which demonstrates how lame I am!) is using the dryer. I hadn't ever used it for fear that my clothes would shrink.

That is funny. I still hang all of my clothes up besides jeans and slacks.

Buying a pair of size 12 jeans and a large dress from old navy. I use to be a 22. Also I started the couch to 5k program and today I completed week 4. I tried a new spot for running and most of it was uphill and I did it! Felt amazing afterwards!!!!! I am 8 weeks out and down 44.5 pounds.

I went jogging yesterday for the first time in awhile and I suprised myself at how much my stamina has increased since losing weight. I was able to push myself and go longer than before!

I was doing my laundry last night and noticed 2 things:

1. All of my exercise clothes were sweaty which is why I was doing laundry in the middle of the week

2. I looked in the basket and thought, "whose clothes are these?" They seemed so small, so not my clothes! But they were my clothes, and I can really wear them!

This is a bit silly, but I realized that I now go into a normal sized bathroom stall without turning sideways or fighting to get the door closed.

      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!!
