Love it Miss Michelle!

For me I have reached a BMI where I am no longer characterized as morbidly obese. YAY for me I am now clinically obese!

YAY, Christine! Woohoo for being obese...lol and for not being MORBIDLY obese!

I have had several great NSV!

Got blood work back...

Blood Surgar ... Normal (I am a diabetic)

Cholestrol... Normal

And doctor wants me to take a 1/2 dose of blood pressure medicine and maybe get off completely very soon!

My foot no longer swells up on long days of running around.

I can cross my legs!!!

I can easlie fit into a movie theater seat (no stress)!

My bath towel can wrap all the way around me.

Do any of y'all ever put your hand on your hip, scratch your shoulder or touch yourself anywhere else and it doesn't feel right? Like you can feel bones where you have never felt them before? I am having to get use to the new me. Lovin it... but it is strange sometimes!!

I haven't figured out if this is a good NSV or not. Since I have lost the weight I am no longer hot all the time. I haven't owned a jacket or coat in over 10 years. Well, now I am cold all the time. It is wonderful not being hot all the time but now that I am cold my knees hurt. Since it has been so cold here in Reno, NV I should expect it. It will sure be nice during the summer. I do not tolerate hot weather at all.

I lowered my steering wheel. It is no longer on tilt!

I finally fit into a jacket that I had gotten @ 1 of the places I used to manage. I never was able to wear it. They had also given my a heavier coat. I can now pull it down over my boobs! Before I couldn't get it down over my shoulders. It was a smaller size than the jacket. I have had these coats for 4 yrs.

Tried on a dress that I´ve been saving. It´s a size 18/20 buttons down the front, and it fit like a dream! Also am wearing size 22 jeans now, which is amazing, as I hadn´t worn jeans in about 15 years!

Thank you so much! I needed a pick me up. Not been able to do my usual exercise regime, because they diagnosed me with mono, and was told to take it easy. SO, this milestone made me very happy!

OH! Just thought of something. I have been off pop since 1/16/08. That was the night I went to my PreSurgery Seminar. I was a total pop addict, if I can give it up, ANYONE can.

my nsv for today,its more of a confidence thing...yesterday we went to disneyland. even when i was bigger, i would always try to brainwash myself into thinking that i didn't care what others thought about me. deep inside i did. i would be embarassed to go out to public places like those, thinking that other people were thinking "what is that skinny guy doing with that cow?" well, i have to say, i had the most fun ever yesterday with my husband, and didn't EVER think people were judging me! i love the pictures we took, ill put them up soon, and from looking at them, i can't believe how far i've come. its one of the best feelings in the world...

Congrats, Kiki!!!

My latest NSV: Today, I went to a really big mall about an hour from home and me, my hubbby, son, bf and her kids all walked around for HOURS! Everyone was complaining about being tired and thier feet hurting....but not me. I wasn't tired or in any sort of pain. A few months ago, I wouldnt have been able to do that!

Second best thing that happened today- In Macy's I picked up this super cute leather jacket in a Large. It was teeny. I figured I'd try it on to see how much further I had to go before it would fit. Well, guess what!?! It not only fit, but buttoned and looked nice too! If it werent for the $300 plus price tag, I wouldve worn it all the way home! LOL

      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... :(
