I can't believe we're finally on the losers bench! Congrats to everyone on this side of the journey. Keep us updated with your progress.

Our April first peeps are Deana Wright, MissMeagan and Nella. Ladies, tell us everything!

Took three flexerel thirty mins ago....still nada. Besides deep anesthesia, profofol knocks me out nicely. But after any anesthesia I'm wide awake for days. Night all its breaking dawn part one time.

So I had some news from one of my dear friends...she is expecting. I am happy for her but I won't lie and say a part of me is envious and I even got teary. My last miscarriage was 3yrs ago which is what pushed my weight gain way over the edge. I know I have to wait awhile before even allowing myself to think about pregnancy and I will be 33 in a few days so...I know the risks will only get higher. I'm trying to think of how I'm using this yr to work on me and then can go from there. I went fabric shopping today after work and picked out some cute cheerful fabric to

start working on a baby quilt. Trying to count my blessings. My sweet only child will be 10 on Sunday and he is truly my blessing. Every year i think how blessed I am to have that tiny preemie baby healthy & happy with me.

So...goals for July...(1) lose 10lb (2) start running again (3) rock my 33rd bday

Thanks for letting me vent!

My tiny preemie twins are going t be 25! They're huge. ! Along with my six foot five sixteen year old!

Omg that gives me hope. My little man is still tiny for his age. He is strong as can be and is nothing much muscle but still a little bit. He still comes and sits in my lap and still wants to be tucked in every night. Love that boy so much. He comes home Sat from his daddy's.

Thanks. I've been like this most of my life. Some nights are better than others but you know what its just a bump in the road. <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

Great attitude to have. I love it!

Had my 3 month with the dietician today. I've officially lost 40% of my excess weight! That felt good to hear even though the loss has been SO SLOW for me.

Had my 3 month follow up today! Super positive! CW is 242.6. Loss since surgery that is 54 lbs. waist is down 10 inches! And BMI is down as well! Looking at the numbers I am totally shocked and excited! My doctor says I am exactly where I need to be in weight loss! They want patients 3 months out to be 25-30% down to their goal and I am killing it! I love my weight management doctor! He is so sweet and positive!

Thanks for letting me share!

I never thought I'd say it but I don't miss sweets so much either it's all too sweet for me. Even fruit tastes extremely sweet to me. I use to love chocolate too and now can't stand the idea of it! So weird but nice at the same time:)

I dont eithdr and I was a huge chocolate lover. Now sometimes a yogurt is too sweet. I love it.

If u were nearby I'd say lets have a party on the 10th celebrating a brand new start to life for u and celebrate a wonderful accomplishment of 22 years of awesome work. U truly do inspire me. As for crafty.. Some women do shoes..I do fabric and craft stores...my husband isn't sure which would be worse

I wish all of you were closer. We could do lunch; buy one meal and all split it! No seriously, it would be nice to have you guys closer so we could get together.

I think we still need to try to do a year meet up next yr! Yes we would be a cheap date wouldn't we lol

Had to share...after years of bring told "You have such a pretty face" I was told this afternoon.."You are beautiful Alaina" totally at random by 2 people who recently saw me. Totally brings me to tears telling this. All of this journey once again felt worth it. I'm sorry I'm such a sap but this touched me deeply in so many parts where all that self hate is being peeled away.
