I went for my 9 month post op visit yesterday.....everything checks out fine I've lost 102 lbs, blood levels are good. No nausea,vomitting or issues with the pouch. I am feeling fantastic, loads of energy, loving the new me!! and the new lifestyle of daily gym visits, not being a slave to the food around me. It's nice to finally have some normal habits like I have always seen healthier people have.

I want to make my goal by Oct 6th (my 45th birthday)....but with the stall I've been in since April not sure I'll make it. But I am dang sure gonna give it a go. I have finally started moving down again, lost inches...but the weight wasnt moving. I changed up my exercise routine and eating a little different and now it's going down again!

My family has been so supportive, friends have "donated" clothing and I am happier than I have been in years!

I sincerely hope those who are just starting out or just had surgery hang in there!! It is well worth the little pain for this journey! It's amazing! I wish you all as easy of a time as I have had so far!

:)

      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.

      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!!
