I am so excited. My BMI is low enough that I am no longer morbidly obese, I am just obese. Can't wait to be in overweight category.

WAY TO GO!!! I remember when I hit that mark - GREAT DAY!! Do something special for yourself - get a massage or have your nails done, get a pedi. Mark this day, you have worked hard to get here.

Keep it going - I am at a normal BMI for the first time in my life (I was overweight at 6 months, taken off formula and put on skim milk!). I can't tell you what a foreign feeling it is to wake up and not think about losing weight - you can get there too!

CONGRATULATIONS!!

Carol

You are doing really well!! I actually stalled as soon as I started soft food, then I gained 8 pounds. My stall finally broke and I have lost 10 pounds just this week. I got really depressed about the stall, but I knew it would happen. I didn't think it would happen this soon. Glad it's over.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
