Awesome Job Michelle!!! You have been a great inspiration for me since I came to LBT. I am having my surgery on the 20th and just knowing that you and so many others have done it and so many more are on their way to reaching their goals is a great motivator for me. You are absolutely beautiful!!! --Jo

Lisa thanks for this thread. My surgery is 2 weeks away and I am scared to death. I'm not scared of the band, I'm not scared of the surgery pain, I'm not scared of PBing, I'm not scared of not being able to eat as much. I'm scared of not waking up after surgery, I'm AM scared of dying and leaving my little girl motherless ;) I'm all teary eyed just writing this... (gosh I hope my boss doesn't walk out right now lol..I'm such a baby lol).

BUT !! I am not healthy, I am not active, I can't even ride a bike with my girl and its not getting better, being this fat is killing me physically and emotionally, so I know I have to do this. I want to be healthy even though I'm scared. Call it silly but its very very real to me.

Lisa, again, thank you so much for this thread, it really made me feel good today.

MICHELLE !!!! Thank you so much for being here and letting us be a part of your wl journey. It means alot to me to see progress, it gives me hope, hope I haven't had in years and years. CONGRATULATIONS !!!!

Love, Eileen

Psss!! Lisa is my Mighty Mouse... Here she comes to save the day, now that Lisa is on the way.... :)

Michelle, congratulations you have done a super job. You have been such a inspiration for me. I have only been on this journey for two months, and when I've gotten depressed I come to LBT and read all the post and yours has been one that has always helped me. When I posted questions, you have always responded with great anwseres. you are such a great help.

I can't wait to meet you and others at the 2006 bash.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
