So the family is taking a vacation for the holidays. While packing I discovered I have twice as many bags as everyone else due to the size of my clothing.

Ugh, I can't wait until February to have this surgery. I'm not doing it just for the smaller clothing size but also for my health. Maybe next year I won't have as much baggage....

Next year you may only need a teeny bikini, a skimpy little dress, some shorts, a tank top or two, and some strappy sandals. It'll all fit in your carry on! But bring a big bag anyway to hold all the cute things you buy while away. :-)

I have thought like this pretty consistently- there are just so many things I'm looking forward to after surgery. It will be here before we know it!

Tho I am just beginning my journey... I still read the boards pretty much non-stop. I'm always seeking information. I have read a lot of your stories and I gotta say... I just hope I am half as determined as y'all are. I know I want this, need this, and WILL do this. I just hope that waiting the 9 mos my insurance is requiring doesn't discourage me. I really have to do this to live to see my kids all grow up. I don't think it's fair I leave my 3 year old (or any of them for that matter) wondering why I didn't love them enough to take my own life back. And I am! Very slowly.... Thru this very slow process. Here's to being able to breathe again with ease one day!

I just got back from a cruise. The amount of clothing I had actually wasn't that bad. It was the fact that compared to my daughter's clothes they looked so much bigger. IT SUCKED! I am almost done with the 6 month diet (last appointment is on the 15th). Hopefully, everything will go quickly and I can get this over with. I am planning another vacation with my family later this year and I am hoping to not have to pack as much. Or if I pack a lot it will be a lot more cute clothes in smaller sizes.

I totally relate to this! I'm 2 times the size of my daughters and it is frustrating to have to pack a suitcase and I can't get half the crap in it that they can. I totally understand that frustration! But like you... I'm hoping I can get lots of weight off and buy tons of new stuff with lots of sparkle! Lo

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
