Thank you.

That is what I love the most that she looks like me. I looked at a picture the other day of me at my heaviest and I couldn't believe it. It's kind of hard to look at pics like that :-(

Yes, it's great going through this together. My surgery was 12/10/12 and I'm slow and steady, too. About 1-3 lbs per week. I feel great as well. So happy about this decision.

Forgot to say that I'm down 63 lbs and have about 15-20 to go. Not sure where I want to end up. I'm 5'6" and thought 150 might be good but I'm not sure anymore. Have to see! I do know that 150 is no longer overweight so that would be great!

I'm 5'6 as well. Down 77. Current weight is160 and I had a goal weight but I'm thinking it might be too small. When I started out, I wanted to hit 130 but I might bump it up to 140.

I got my results back from my bladder test. It is normal thank goodness. So just one more complication I need to have cleared up from the hysterectomy. I started working out after work today. Before hysterectomy, I worked out after work. But after, I thought I would go before. But I would end up not going due to time. So I'm back in the wagon, still getting 80+g Protein a day. I have dabbled with foods such as a toasted English muffin. I also had a slice of mushroom thin crust pizza. Stomach handled it well. I hope working out again 5 days/week will help me lose these last 20lbs.

Snow, is that you in that pic??? Wow what a difference. Awesome!!!

I wished more Decembers would pop on here and give us an update and a picture.

I am loving my new life, my boyfriend is more than I could have ever asked for, and my family. I am so grateful for this surgery. I feel great, look great and it shows in so many more areas of my life. Definitely more confidence!!! Huge plus.

      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!!
