Thanks Cherrie!!!! Looking forward to hearing about your paperwork being submitted and you getting that approval!!!!!!!!

Kyle, you look awesome! Keep posting those pictures! You don't just look smaller, but you look so much happier and more ALIVE!

I had a great time yesterday. Unfortunately, I didn't get any pics taken. I have to make a point to do that soon. I hope to just get out and try some stuff on this week and I'll take some pictures in dressing rooms! LOL! I'm not used to being the subject of photos, so I don't really think about it. But I do need some progress pictures to keep me motivated!

Last year, I started a thread on here called "I can't wait to NOT have to..." and I see there were a couple "likes" to some of my old posts... I'm off to go re-read some good stuff!

Thanks tons Brick! I do feel so much more alive and happy, it's beyond unbelievable to me! I'm so glad that you had a great time, was sooo looking forward to your picture post! :/ You gonna post some soon I'm going to look at the threat your talking about.

Also update on my medical. I've put it aside all day, and did some therapy shopping...well therapy shopping is done and it's on my mind. I am going in for Endoscopy in the main OR of Albany Med on the 11th. They are going to put me fully asleep, not local, but in good old deep asleep land to look inside a bit more and possible balloon dilation. They are thinking I may have to go in and have another surgery to fix this so called problem. It turns out that my stomach may actually be flipping and twisting every time I eat and drink and I may not notice it but when I happen to puke due to food sensitivity this may be why. So what they would do in go back in laparoscopically and remove the the stables and staple the closing of my pouch to tissue or it's surroundings to stop it from happening. This situation is EXTREAMLY uncommon and EXTREAMLY rare, so please don't worry that it could happen to you. I just happen to be one of the possible lucky few this has ever happened to and I guess I've been the lucky one chosen to experiment on with the procedure. When I say lucky few, this is a newly discovered problem that had just been discovered and is very very rare. If it happens my hospital stay will be inpatient and 2-4 days, and they say I shouldn't be in as much pain or discomfort as I call it as when I actually has the sleeve. I personally am not even sure if I will allow them to due the procedure as it is so very new, I just don't know if I am comfortable with it, and I personally don't know if it is something that is %100 needed. I'm confident that whatever decision I make will be the best for me and my health. Not getting the procedure won't cause me harm, I will just have this excessive sensibility to food and beverages, which to be honest I am pretty used to at this point. Everyone stay positive and keep up your amazing work. Always remember everything happens for a reason and even for those that have struggles with this journey, they are for a purpose and it just makes us stronger. Hey, I got an amazing ring today that originally cost over $1,200 for $200! Maybe the purpose of this was for some therapy shopping and to find this amazing deal! Lol. For sh$ts and giggles I posted the pic of my new ring. Personally I think getting some not so of the greatest news was worth it! lol

I'm trying dear! But gotta wait for pinche Dr.'s to respond!

Wow everyone is doing awesome. Brick how you feeling Hun? Kyle you look freaking awesome! Cherie good luck with all the paperwork, it's one hell of a ride but it's worth it. Right now I've been working my butt off and after eating crap for two days BC I was out of town... I actually lost weight and got over my stall. Go figure! I think I was being too strict. Oh well... Life is good and I have three upcoming tattoo appointments to show for that... Sooo excited.

What tattoos u gonna get?

I'm gonna get a Minion kissing Hello Kitty

Thanx to Kyles suggestion <3

I am going to get my cats portrait (I have one of my other cat as well). I am going to do my dad's senior picture portrait and I am going to get some cheetah prints on my shoulder with a inside phrase between my family. Maybe I can post a pic of my other cat tattoo

Sweet!

I love the cat tattoo! How adorable! I also plan to get another one (I just have a tiny flourish on my ankle) once I'm at my goal weight. Probably something to do with a butterfly for my transformation, but maybe something symbolizing strength, too.

Feeling a little better each day. Still feeling tired and I know I have to start expending some energy in order to get some back. I ate some chopped salad tonight from Subway with turkey breast (no dressing) and it was so good. I'm 11 weeks out and the pieces were chopped small. But I could eat quite a bit of it, so I'm thinking it may be a slider food for me.
