Livvsmum...I want to thank you for the blog. It took me two days but I read it all. It was very informative about the process and didn't sugar coat the continued struggles post-op.

Your hard work really shows and you look amazing!!!

I'm really thankful for everyone here for sharing their experiences which help the newbies like me have a better sense of what we are getting into and the journey ahead.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read! I'm so glad you liked it. It always makes me feel great to hear from someone who read it & it helped in some way.

Good luck on your journey!

Congrats on reaching your dream goal! You have inspired me to hang in there and not get discouraged. My progress is so slow and I'm always concerned I won't reach goal.

Thanks for sharing.

Aww thank you! You will definitely get there if you stick to "the plan".

Congratulations on reaching your dream goal! You both look great. Very inspiring to those of us who have not reached goal yet! Support from an encouraging husband is always good! You are rocking that sleeve!

Thank you! It's so weird to hear you all using the word "inspiring" in reference to me. That is a very humbling thing and makes me feel responsible to keep making good decisions with my health and emotional well being. And yes, hubby had to grow along side me in this process because it meant change in more ways than one.

Congrats, lvvsmun. You look beautiful in all three photos...albeit healthier in the last two. You and I are basically the same size....and when I look at your Dream Goal picture....my eyes are drawn to your Collarbone. It's always been something I've been drawn to in pictures, and in person. Just wanted to say...you have a great collarbone! Lol. Love mine too!

Thank you! I feel so much healthier too...not just physically but emotionally too. That is just as important in my opinion and something I didn't expect. And yes, I enjoy having a collar bone too.....and hip bones.....
