So tomorrow is the day that starts my new journey of being banded. I have mixed feelings. I know this is what I need to live a healthier life. My knees won't hurt anymore, I won't get tired going up stairs, and I will maybe finally be able to get pregnant. My journey thus far has been difficult. Changing bad habits to good habits is difficult. I don't have to tell anyone on this site that food is a weakness for me, but today I can say I am stronger than food and it will not have power over me. I have a great support system behind me and this site to get me thru the hard times, because I know there will be some in the near future after surgery. I have been back and forth to get this surgery and now the day has finally come. I am ready to live the life that I deserve and not be held back by my weight. I was always the chubby girl in class, the oh you would be so beautiful if you lost the weight, and the woman that sits in the corner in new places because I am self conscious of my weight. That ends today! I will no longer let my weight determine my feeling or actions. I am the only one that is in control of the food that I put in my mouth. I am the one that is in control of getting my butt off the couch and going to the gym. I guess this whole process to get banded has made me truly look at myself and determine what I want and need in life. I wish everyone luck in their journeys. I am thankful for this site because I know you all have experienced some of the same things that I have because we have let of weight control so many of our emotions.

My surgery is tomorrow, too! I'm nervous and excited and hopeful. I have to be at the hospital at five-thirty in the morning! Surgery is at seven. It's outpatient, so I'll be home later in the morning or the early afternoon. I hope everything goes well for you!

      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.

      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!!
