Ok...so I was reading all of this at work and busted out laughing because it is all so true! Everyone thinks I am nuts now. You all are so great and such motivation.

I dont know--- my extra weight gave me a lot of momentum, shot out of the Water slide like a cannonball! My mom snorted and laughed so hard...

And I am extra bouyant when i snorkel, but gonna need a big paddle board to float on when the seal blubber goes!

OMG! Sounds like me! And I so have a fear of the fire department having to rescue me too...

I am laughing so hard at work my coworkers are thinking I've lost my mind! (well, they know i am a nut anyway!)

I will not miss stinky shoes. I would not wear socks because I didn't want my hubby to see me struggle to put them on. I can put on socks now no problem!

I know. I would have my friend put my sucks on for me and tie my walking shoes when we were gonna work out while my hubby was at work. I'm glad that is over.

I will not miss...

- being held back from doing so many physical things because my weight limits my energy and too much pain

- being constantly underestimated because of the way I look

- buying clothes from catalogs

- my chest and my neck fat meeting (HATE IT)

- shirts constantly riding up my belly

- feeling so darn physically awkward all the time

- looking older than I am

And pretty much everything everyone else has already said! Good riddance!

I know what you mean!! My shirts used to be too short all the time!! And I wanted them long enough to cover my big belly so people wouldnt stare at it. And I cant say enough how wonderful the added energy is! LOVE IT!

Well u know what I noticed?!? I am opening the bathroom door in public bathrooms and not try to do some weird dance squeezing in and trying not to brush all up on the toilet trying to get into the stall cause the area inside the stall is too small. I hate public toilets anyways and totally get grossed out. Feel so much better when I'm able to just open the door and walk in.

I don't miss my boobs ending up under my neck when I lay down. And my snoring has stopped. The only snoring my husband hears now is from the dog! :-)

      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.
