Some of the guys that my husband worked with about 5 years ago asked when he divorced his first wife, and how he managed to hook such a cute little thing (they thought I was no more than 20 years old)

That was pretty cool.

I have 5 punds to go until goal weight and I constantly look in the mirror and think what a fat a@@ then, I remember...I'm not fat anymore!!! I was doing that just this morning and my boyfriend said baby you are not big....just look at yourself! I think I must have some type of - what's it called - body dismorphic disorder, anyway, my point here being - he told me i was "AVERAGE" size. That was the best feeling ever!!! lol.

Hmm....I think what means the most to me is when I have other bandsters tell me that I'm their inspiration. It's a lot to live up to, so maybe it'll help keep me in line a little bit!

But, I also had a special "compliment" while I was driving down the highway. I was slowly passing a car, and I hear a loud whistle. I glanced over, and there are 3 young men in the car, one hanging out the back window, yelled, "Hey mama, you lookin' hot!" LOL I got past them, and out of sight before I pulled down the mirror to take a glance and say to myself, "I do??!!....yeah. I do."

:faint: I just got the most unexpected compliment of my life last night. On my way out for dinner last night I saw a neighbor I hadn't seen for a few months putting his Christmas lights out with his children. When I went over to say hi he looked confused at first then said "OMG is that you? I was starting to think your husband had traded you in for a new wife. If you hadn't come over to talk I would have never recognized you." He even made one of his kids run in to get his wife to come out and take a closer look at the "new" me.

The only thing that ruined the moment for me was realizing after I got in the car that I had stepped in his dogs fresh poo and was now both late and stinky for my dinner appointment. But it was all good for a compliment like that.

I had the best week ever! I went to Cali on a business trip. People who haven't seen me in a year, did not recognize me. Most people, I mean 90% had no idea who I was. Of course that felt great, but there was one compliment that stood out...

"She looks great now, but of course we loved her before" my friend Chris told his friend who couldn't stop talking about how much I had lost.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
