"If you want exceptional results you have to put in exceptional effort"

John Cena

this quote really hit home to me cuz i realized i was the type to say well i worked out a little today but it's better than nothing! well you know what? it's not "better than nothing". you want half assed results then keep doing half ass work. you want amazing results then put in amazing effort!

ive been working "pretty" hard and getting "pretty" good results but now i want exceptional results so to that end i've worked really hard this week so here's to an exceptional week! xo

Hi everyone. ... I hit my 40 pounds lost in 11 weeks. So happy to hit this mark. Its been a harder 2 weeks because Im in a statistics class and my time has been applied to studying. I missed my bike riding this week. Boooo.... but my food has been on point. I did miss my Vitamins two days this week and I told myself dont start a pattern of missing my vitamins... your body needs it. I take Biotin too because we will be losing hair at 3 to 6 months. So far... its just those areas to work on. My surgery buddy and I are finally at the same pounds lost. She was always about 3 lbs ahead of me. I still feel very heavy and for some reason cannot see the 40 pounds off of me. It may be this way for awhile because Ive been heavy for years.

Omg I was asking the same question. What are the robes for 600 pound people. After surgery I was walking and during that time I was able to get a glimpse of me from a mirror and I look increasingly large. So by the time I was being discharged and changed into my clothing. One of the nurse said you don't look like you needed the surgery. I guess not after seeing me for three days in those gowns.

Thanks woman! I cant stand Chinese made anything. All crap!!! So good that you bought extra clothes. Imagine everyones faces if your dress came undone. Lol For your "pooch" - go to Jockey and get the undergarments there. Feels good like nothing is on you and diesnt constrict you but pushes that in. Drink Thai Tea... I get mine at World Market. That helps me.

      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.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      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!!
