I am at Disney for the weekend. Was a lot easier to get in and out of rides! Last time I went, i was struggling! But not today! (Lol). I also I didnt have to worry about not fitting. Loving the band and I'm so grateful for this weight loss - has made a big difference even after 3 months (almost 40 pounds lost)!

We just got home a few weeks ago from Disney and I totally know what you mean!! I didn't struggle to sit next to my husband and son on a ride. What a great feeling!! Enjoy and way to go!

okay this sounds crazy but I was wrapping presents today.. I use my dining room table so it's wide.. last year I had to sit down to wrap them and just move the chair around.. holy cow I was wrapping standing up and could actually lean across the table to cut the paper without my belly in the way ....I actually leaned all the way over the table and cut the paper evenly...I have not sat down once... This year will be totally different from the years before.. I used to be so tired from shopping and wrapping I could hardly make it through Christmas... I am so looking forward to Christmas this year.. shopping is done.. wrapping is getting done and I am not tired.. yahoo..

I remember the first time feeling that way also...after going to the gym on a regular schedule, and starting to loose weight....I had to p/u my daughter from the airport...parked what seemed like miles away, had to walk all the way to the terminal...I was amazed how strong and confident each step was...made me stand a little taller and walked a little stronger and faster....

Nothing simple about it at all....before surgery I would have stopped to catch my breath every 5 minutes...I really felt the difference and was proud of myself....

Went to the church today that my brother's family attends to see niece and great nieces in their Christmas concert. Parked in the first spot I saw and hurried into church. Then afterwards I carried my three year old great niece around and out to their car. Never once was tired. Never thought about putting down my niece (who was capable of walking but it was very crowded). And all in heels. Still have a ways to go to get to goal but I'm well on my way to being healthy.

I put my wedding rings on today for the first time in 10 years. I quit wearing them, telling my hubby that my fingers were swelling. At that time I thought that's what it was. Didn't take long to figure that my fingers were getting fat like the rest of me. This morning I was looking at my fingers and thinking how slender they were looking. I took my rings out and they fit. Funny thing is, I just tried them on 2 weeks ago and they didn't fit at that time. I've only lost 1 lb since then. Go figure.????

Again I had to work at another store for 3 days and most of the girls I work with new me cause I have worked with them before well some of them hadn't seen me in a yr , so when each one of them saw me at different ties they we're like wow you have lost a lot of weight you, can see it in your face , breast and backside , each time we all laughed but I guess this was my latest nsv I still have the fat goggles on so I don't see it but I guess others will let me know and that's ok with me just encourages me more that I am doing the right thing with the help from my tool (band) :) ,

NSV I went to Starbucks this morning because I wanted a skinny hot chocolate. So I paid with my debit card (which has my old picture on it) and the lady looked at me and said you have lost a lot of weight Congratulations! I smiled and told her thank you! I love my band!

Sharpie - you look GREAT! Such a good picture! I was the same way about pictures - I just started taking them again recently. I was too embarrassed before. I'm so very happy for you!!!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      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!

      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!!
