[CurvyCakes 269]

Pahahahaha i know right. I've had give it to my hubby and say here put this in your truck and no matter what don't give it back until it's been at least a week.

The scale is adding unnecessary stress! Work on diet and exercise.....the weight will take care of itself!

Hey Lainey how are you doing?

[Lainey3074 98]

Howdy Ms. Curvy! I'm doing pretty good. How are you? Remind me where you are in the sleeve process?

March 19th is my big day. I am so ready yet scared at the same time. Worried about pain after, not waking up from surgery, loose skin down to my ankles I'm all over the place with my thinking. One thing for sure I'm facing my fears and standing by my choice to do this for overall better health. So many family members are unsupportive but I'm not phased. My older sister says if you stuck with these changes you've been making then you will lose weight. Ok yes that's true but I've been unsuccessful keeping it off. I finally had to say this decision is strictly about me and me feeling comfy in my own skin even though you guys don't agree with my decision and even though a few of you should look into having a weight loss intervention yourselves I'm asking you to respect this is my choice to make.

WELP!!!! I guess you told them!!!! LOL!!!! Seriously, though, I had to do the same. I had to tell people that I wasn't looking for personal opinions or judgement, only support. I've made this decision and nothing you say will change my mind! My best suggestion is to find 1 or 2 supportive people and leave it at that. A very few from my family knows. In terms of the pain, though I know everyone is different, I can honestly say that my incisions NEVER hurt. The pain I had was my swollen tummy and my chest. I had severe nausea and dry heaving. Surgery was Wednesday, I was home on Thursday, at the grocery store on Saturday, church on Sunday, teleworked for a week and back to work the following week. I started back to Zumba right away, per drs orders. I just went at my own pace and didn't overdo it. I am noticing some loose skin but I'll take the battle scars!!! You'll do great!!!!

Lainey sometimes you have to put love ones in their place and I felt it was time. I found myself constantly defending my personal choice of what I felt was best for me because last time I checked it was my knees hurting from toting around all this extra weight or being winded taking the stairs at work. I plan to telework the second week and be completely off the first week.

Hey there Lainey I see you've hit the one month mark. How are you feeling physically? I know it's still early but have you jumped on the scale yet or are you noticing looser fitting clothes?

[CurvyCakes 269]
