Love seeing those pics Krystal! You look great!!!...I'm 5'2 also and my surgeon said 145. I remember being 145 in my 30's and it felt good. I would love to be 125 though :)...What was your starting weight before surgery? You have done so well, i'm envious :)

Had a very good day! Saw the surgeon and he said I was at a weight that he feels comfortable helping me! The team meets every Tuesday and then they will call with the plan of action. It may not be for a few months but he will do it so I am very happy. He said it is definitely a surgical problem and it wouldnt get any better no matter how much weight I lost!

Didnt end up getting any sexy panties today. I feel my butt is still too big to pull it off but my daughter made a haul for her cancun trip. $330 worth of swimsuits for $100! They had a huge sale.

Thanks for the compliments guys. You are all so kind! We are a rocking hot group!

Wonderful News!

The last couple of days I have been in all kinds of pain. Since my surgery, my hormones are leveling out and the PCOS is starting to clear up some. Periods every month for the last 6 months. Unfortunately, on Thursday I was having some pains I thought were the left tummy pulled muscle or PMS but turned out to be a ruptured ovarian cyst. Needed all kinds of meds to get it under control and now I am still hurting and feel frustrated. Been laying around the last two days and just feel blah. I feel bad I ate a little tiny bowl of Cereal but haven't had hardly any carbs since the end of February but gave in tonight. Hopefully tomorrow is better.

Awe. Thats sucks. A ruptured cyst is definitely no fun. You are allowed your "feeling blah" time. You have a reason. Dont feel bad about the small amount of cereal you ate. You are human and there are worse things that you could've eaten! ;) I hope you are on the mend and feeling better real soon my friend.

      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!!
