Sky Diving is big on the list! Feeling HOT again. Going for a ride on my bf's motorcycle - without being embarrassed. Breaking out of Moo Moo jail and wearing leggings because I want to, not because I have to. Wearing heels that aren't wedges. I could go on but I will just wait patiently and let it all happen. Only 2 weeks post op but I can already see changes :)

I want to see Paris. I want to wear tall boots in winter and shorts in summer. I want to stop avoiding having my picture taken with my beautiful children because I feel too fat.

I'm only a week post-op but my goal is simple. Get healthy enough to become pregnant and carry a child to term (after a year, of course). Remain healthy to raise my family and all the little things that come with living.

I had quite a few NSV I couldn't wait for, they were getting my wedding rings to fit, cross my legs when sitting, not have to shop in plus sizes anymore, weigh less than 200lbs, feel confident taking pictures I have accomplished all of these in 3 months! I still want to get off my blood pressure meds and have a normal bmi, I'm working on it!

I can't believe how much I missed crossing my legs! And not being to big to walk between chairs and clothes racks!

      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.

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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...
