I am just so excited each day to have the energy to do stuff....doesn't matter what, I don't have to worry anymore about being too tired to chase my 4 and 5 yr old around anymore...they have to worry about keeping up with me!

Best Decision Ever!!!

Biggest Awesome moment? Picking something up, a shirt, from a normal store...getting it home and it was BIG!!! normal sizes are too big for me! I don't have to shop in mens anymore for tshirts to support my favorite football team, I can wear the cutesy womens tops!! I am in heaven!!

Crossing my legs, who knew it was so comfortable?

The bathroom stalls, I guess they weren't designed small...it was just me filling the whole stall, now I don't have to search out for the biggest one, I can just go!

Life is good...and hubby certainly doesn't mind my extra "energy" ha ha!!

Awesome! Keep up the good job

I have not started a routine workout schedule yet...I know I know I really need too. However, I have VERY Active 4 and a 5 yr old that I constantly run around with, so while not structured I try to get in at least 10,000 steps a day if possible. I need to get more strength training in for sure as my arms are getting small, it's so fun to see myself as a small person now!!

On another note, My daughter (5 yr old) was hospitalized over the weekend. she had pneumonia, enterovirus and parainfluenza by the end of it all, she was in bad shape...I decided that after this surgery I am the IDEAL person to stay with someone in the hospital I rarely eat a lot (so I didn't eat in front of her) I didn't drink a whole lot (not good but I wasn' tleaving her side) and I don't use the restroom a lot, so I was able to stay by her side constantly!! I am very happy to say that she is doing great now, and I am down 113 lbs! Woo hoo!! come on Thanksgiving I have so much to be thankful for this year!! Thank you for all of the support! 7 lbs away from ONE-derland!

This is great news. Just stay active is what I hear. I hope to lose at least 125 lbs. Glad to hear your daughter is doing well. Thank you

I love this thread so much. Congrats! So happy for you, and can't wait to feel that way too!

Keep up the good work!! Glad to hear your daughter is better! Happy Thanksgiving ☺️

Way to go????

I am struggling a bit. I am a few days over 2 weeks post op and I am having a hard time with using the bathroom. Is this normal? Also, I struggle to get in my water daily? Any tips to share?

Me too. Doctors gave me Colaces which help. Water taste like metal. But I put pineapples or frozen fruit. Just keep sipping. Protein helps the healing

Thank you tkinsey! I keep trying to sip and constantly have ice chips. Hopefully something changes ????

Congratulations continued success.

Congratulations keep up the good work. I bet your little ones are loving the energy

Congrats on your success?? How is your daughter? Hopefully doing much better now.

My daughter is doing much better now, it's so scary to have your little one look at you and say Mommy I am scared...I never want to hear her say that again that's for sure but the Childrens hospital out here is amazing so I am very happy that we live so close to such great care.

Can't wait to be where you are!

congratulations!
