Glad you are doing so well! I don't know if I would ever be brave enough to go through with it (let alone the money), but I am very glad insurance came through for you and you are happy with the results! You have a lot to be thankful for!

Yes the lower body lift is pretty rough. The muscle tightening is pretty amazing. I am taking my pain meds on schedule and definitely need them. I love the way my butt, tummy and thighs look now. I am so thankful my insurance paid and I get to be home resting. the drains are annoying but I had one for a full month after rny so I knew what to expect. I just feel weak and tired still but every day is a little better.

Today is a bit better with the pain. I am getting 2 of my four drains out Friday and hope the last two on monday. I am doing pretty well and was 118 this morning. I think I'll be around 115 when all the swelling is done. I can hardly believe I am under 120 lbs.

Yesterday was my weigh in day. I still weigh once a week. I was 113 and for the first time in my life worried about losing too much. I don't want to go under 110 so I think I may need to up my calories a bit. Anyone who thinks this journey is easy is delusional. I hope all my junies are doing well!!

I know your feeling. I hit 147 this week. And I haven't been trying to lose anything. I think I'd be OK if I hit 145 but I'm getting pretty boney. Definately need to work on more muscle mass. Tomorrow is our last day of school. Totally looking forward to 2weeks off. Heading to Georgia for the holidays. My oldest is supposed to get married while we are there.

I am with you! I have dropped to 120, with a couple days at 119. I actually want to maintain closer to 125, so at least I am not worried about gaining over the next couple weeks!

It is nice not worrying about gaining. I feel so good right now. I bought my first pair of lucky jeans today. They are expensive but I felt confident knowing I am committed to maintaining this healthy lifestyle. It feels great walking into stores and not having people look at me like what are you doing in here? I have been a bit out of control shopping but darn my whole life I bought simply because it fit. Now I buy what I love. :)

I am having fun with clothes too! Tomorrow morning my turbo kick class is having a crazy pants party and I actually bought an outfit to wear! Now I just have to find the guts to pull it off - definitely outside my comfort zone!!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
