I have no regrets for keeping my surgery to myself. It truly is nobody's business. You still have to do serious hard work. There are people that have surgery and fail - regain all the weight they lost. They don't follow any diet plan. So just because a person has surgery does not mean they have done something wrong- it does not mean they should have something to hide. Your body is your business. Don't worry about co-workers. They won't be in your life forever. Right? And you do look fabulous. ENJOY it.

Congratulations on your upcoming surgery. I love your fiance's quote, you cheated your whole life. It's true, I did.

Congratulations!!!!! That is so great. Maybe the stress made you lose instead of gain. A size 12-WOW! I hope to see that number some time soon. Keep up the great work with your trainer, it shows.

How exciting for you!! water or ice chips, I can't tell you how thirsty I was. I also had gatorade and light cran-raspberry juice. the second day I really enjoyed the broth for me it was more soothing. Good luck, you're gonna do great!

I am so glad to read your posts. I am struggling right now because I have been sitting at the same weight for weeks. It's all about me not making great choices and I know that, but I am still frustrated. I think -- regardless of how much you know it isn't true -- you think that by going through the effort of having surgery, the pounds should magically wash away. I so wish that was true. But I know it isn't and I will beat it. Anyway, just wanted to say thanks for your blogs :-)

You look amazing and very young! You are definitely an inspiration!

Life is good! You look fantastic!

You look marvelous!

You go girl!!

i had to show 5 years weight history and diet history. After submitting it all i was denied. But i appealed because in one of the years, dont remember which one, they had my height wrong which made my bmi lower then 35. I sent them a snarky letter asking them if its even possible for a grown 30' something year old adult to grow 3 inches in a year and then shrink 3 inches the next year. I was approved. Took about 3 weeks for the approval but i was approved on 12/24/12 and had surgery 1/9/13. Dont give up and send it in. This is Aetna's way of hoping you give up!
