who would have thought??

3 years ago, a scared little (big) rabbit had WLS

i was scared about the unknown - what to expect in my future

i crept down 105 lbs/GOAL in one year

past two years fluctuating/maintaining 3-5 lbs

at times i have weighed a "little" more

honesty, confession is good for the sole

i'm not perfect, welllll actually

i do graze sometimes

or eat more than i should during the day

i don't enjoy not drinking while eating

i don't always get my 64 oz of Water

i don't exercise

but............

i don't weigh 235 lbs anymore

many wonderful things have been going on in my new life

my health is wonderful

this "sexy at 60" looks pretty HOT!!

we built a beautiful new house last year but.............

I don't hide in the house anymore

i find reasons to leave the house

drive here there and everywhere

love running errands

of course clothes shopping toooooo!!!

I do volunteer work

(I would never have put myself "out" amongst people pre WLS)

my confidence, happiness have gone through the roof

many other things i can't think of

(my memory hasn't improved )

with the "assistance" of the sleeve - my new world is amazing

that is my story and i'm stick' to it!!!

my wishes/thought/hopes

that everyone in the "world"/especially my fellow sleevers

be as happy as i am today - for the rest of your healthier, happier, longer, life

congrats to me

Kathy, you're such an inspiration to me and always have an encouraging word. Congratulations !!!

I love reading your responses, and I'm proud of you and for you too!

What a great testimony. It is especially encouraging to me because I am that scared rabbit right now. My surgery will be Jan. 6. You know what I am going through right now, ups and downs, excitement, fear. I will be so glad when I don't dread the surgery and am on the other side, never to look back only forward to a more healthy life.

Thanks for the update! congratulations on success!

Thanks for noticing the "lost" weight. I wish! Haha. Got that corrected. I start my pre-op diet the day after Christmas. How's that for timing? Excellent. Trying to get all my ducks in a row for post- op diet. Wondering if there is any flavor of baby food fit to eat? Just wanted an emergency option.

Congratulations. So proud of you!

Congratulations! So happy for you and wishing you many more happy days in your future!

Congrats!

pre-op diet day after Christmas. any flavor of baby food fit to eat?

@@1babyjane

i have heard/seen some people eat baby food

not for me!!!

don't want to even say those words

enjoy your Christmas dinner

"try" not to overdue toooo much

remember, thats all the more weight you have to lose before/after surgery

congrats on getting all your ducks in a row

what, no chickens (sorry bud, the devil made me say that )

good for youbeing all prepared

don't buy too much of one specific Protein shake

taste buds frequently chanage

you might not like that same Protein powder in a couple of weeks

hope you have someone to support or help you at home for a bit

not always necessary - just nice to have

but.....you can do it on your own

remember, we're here

good luck with pre-op

sleeve surgery next month

take care bud

speedy recovery
