Mitz, I couldn't agree with you more! There is absolutely no aspect of my life that isn't improved (with the possible exception of my clothing budget!). The things I can do now - its amazing! And no pain!! I was so worried about not being able to take Advil - now I never need it! What a difference a year can make.

SO TRUE. Everything is better. Ev. Ry. THING! And nothing hurts. I actually JOG now and nothing hurts. It's a miracle.

I did good. I was with a couple of friends. One of them was struggling pretty bad to make it. She just started her weightless journey. I kept stopping and walking backwards to encourage her. :) so, all that being said. I finished in 58 minutes. Already planning another one and will improve time.

I feel fabulous and proud!

I just noticed it says weightless instead of weightloss.. I might like that term better. Lol

I am nervous because tomorrow I meet with the Dietician about my progress on the Bariatric Pathway. I typed up a three page note describing everything I have done and will complete this month. There really is no reason I should not be referred to the surgeon by mid June. I really want to have surgery in July or very early August. I am supposed to go to Canada the last weekend of Sept. and to Chattanooga TN to visit old friends and family. Both weekends are women's retreats and I need to be well enough to travel by then. I want to amaze my friends and family. If I don't have surgery in July or very early August I may lose too much weight before I am approved by insurance and I will have to wait until early Nov (sigh) because of my travel plans. I have lost about 17 lbs. since mid-March. The problem is the Dietician insists we stay in preparation for surgery for six months at least. I will have completed all requirements except for the wait. I want to get surgery behind me. I was referred to the Bariatric Pathway on April 9th so my six months will be up November 9th I think. That means waiting from the time I finish requirements in mid-June for five more months! Yikes!!! Pray that she will allow me to do my surgery when I want to do it.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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?
