Hi all,

I had to update my pic so I could show ya'll. I have cheekbones again!!!!!

Surgery was on the 25th and I lost 12 pounds the first week, so that makes 16 total with pre-op measly 4 pounds.

I can only see it in my face as yet and my hands since my wedding ring is really loose now. (angling for mo betta sparklies soon)

Now you know why I'm smiling so big in my pic! lol

xoxox:bounce:

Thanks so much. When I see the pictures I know there is a difference. I wish the scale would show it more though. Can't wait for my stomach to really go down!! But putting on makeup is such a joy. There is less

"surface area" to cover. And isn't it great turning to the side and seeing cheek bones???? Love it.

My gold Bracelet is sliding...gee, guess I'll need to replace that too!

It is great to put makeup on now and not find myself being all depressed and wondering why I'm bothering. It's nice being able to wear all my jewelry thats been shut up for years as too tight. I can't wait til I can buy a regular old ankle Bracelet and actually have a pretty slender ankle to put it on. Also to go get a full pedicure and actually admire my feet or not be worrying if the person thinks it's gross having to work on my feet and massage my tree trunk of a leg.

It goes on and on doesn't it? Life is def getting better...so much to look forward to.

You go girl! Whenever her husband would ask what to get her for a gift, my friend Jane would say "Fine jewelry is always appropriate." :) Woohoo!

I now have check bones also. Everyone keeps talking about how thin my face has gotten. Its starting to get on my nerves because I want it to be noticeable in my body not just my face.

People ask me how much I have lost so far and I say...oh...uh....38 pounds.... and it even baffles ME! I am seeing digits on my scale I haven't laid eyes on in over 20 years!!!!

      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!!
