First major snowstorm of the year and it was the heavy, sloppy ice chunk type. Last year the shoveling would have knocked me out for the day, and it would have even made me fee physically ill. This year, I barely broke a sweat. Feel fine. Great, actually. It's nuts how different everything is. How much BETTER... even shoveling heavy, sloppy, ice chunk snow....EVERYTHING IS!

Great attitude! I agree; it IS amazing!

A ring guard fits inside a ring to make it smaller. It can be fitted at a jeweler- kind of welded on. Or there are temporary ring guards available online.

I'll have to look into it. Thanks! :-)
Thanks! I've had to take mine off as well and I miss them so! Ill take then to the jeweler tomorrow.

I can fit my watch again. Finally. It's been over a year since I last wore it. 30lbs down made the difference.

I tried on sz12 jeans at TJMaxx today and they didn't fit! They were LOOSE!!! The clerk must have thought I was an idiot when I gave them to her and told her they didn't fit but I was grinning like a crazy woman! :-)

My wish is to hit 100lbs lost by Christmas day. Today I am only 2.7lbs away. It's possible I'll get there! :-)

I hit 100 lbs lost today. :) not since surgery but from my highest weight of 267 back in 2008 when I started this weight loss journey. I am so happy that I achieved this milestone. 40 more to go to get to my personal goal of 'solidly' being in the 120s.

I'm still holding out hope of making it to that 100lbs lost mark by end of year. I'm 20lbs away, so it seems unlikely but I bet I might at least get close.

On another note, I'm fitting into some 1x stuff now. I was a 4x 4 months ago. Pretty incredible.

All my rings need to be resized but I need to wait since I am only 5 months out. My diamond eternity band can't be resized. I'm so sad about that.

I had my eternity band resized. Have them so it and keep the stones.

Tomorrow morning we pick up my son at the airport. He knows I had weight loss surgery but the last time he saw me was in June, only three weeks after my surgery, and I was still over 200lbs. I weigh 135 now! I have lost so much weight since then, he won't recognize me! I can't wait to see the look on his face! :-)

I've always been told eternity bands cannot be resized. I will check into it. Thanks.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
