everytime I step on the scale I cant see it... everytime I look in the mirror i can see it... Yes im down 33 pounds.. and cant feel it, see it.. nothing... So I was at a size 32 i was sick of wear shorts that looked like i was wearing a shirt.. so I tried my size 28's on.. (for size) lol.... and OMG they went on and even more exciting... they buttoned and zipped up.... whats crazy about that...

I still want to think of myself as worthless... just tonight im to happy to even think of that.

I just had to share with someone.. and after i told my hubby.. you all were the next on my list... by the way He said " i bet your sexy in those smaller shorts" hahahahaha i told him I will shake it for him when he gets home LOL

Trish,

Go to the grocery store and find a big old 5lb brisket with lots of fat. Then put that plus 5 more in your cart. Then stare at it and realize that all of that is gone forever from your body. It's enough to make you giggle out loud.

That's what I do when I feel like my progress is slow.

Take care.

Hey Trish - Congratulations!!

I struggle with some of those self confidence issues myself, as I'm sure, many of us here do. I often find myself looking in the mirror and trying to poke my stomach in, or looking in the mirror and going, "Yuck!!". I've wondered many a time what my husband sees in me. Hopefully one day, my self image will become a bit better. In the meantime, I'm trying to learn how to love me.

Well done on your accomplishment. Wear those 28's with pride, until they fall off and you have to trade them in on something even smaller :)

      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.

      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!!
