Thank you so much for having enough insight and acceptance about your experiences to post them here. I'll keep reading as long as you want to keep writing.

I hope I didn't offend you I had said in my reply to you that I know you would ride it off as I know you, ride a few miles on your bike so good for you , it does take some of us a while to learn and get how to control our ways of eating and with that said I went for a fill yesterday and I am down to 217 lbs so I am happy it's a slow process but it's getting there, I still like your post though I was at 276 when I started this journey july of 2012 so I guess I am doing good, so you keep (riding) & posting , keep up your good work.

Hang in there! It's will pay off at the end:)

I'm on Day 2 of 7....it sucks. I'm hungry, have already cheated a little (improvised) to help me get thru it. My surgery is Monday. I'm sooo excited. I wondered today if my Liver has shrunk any too. =~}

Well Said and good luck to you on losing the 45 pounds.

i feel guilty of i don't measure my food and perhaps maybe....just maybe go over the amount ..both physically and calories i should be eating. i have great resistance with the sleeve but never great fear i Will stretch it out . i was in nyc for business and are more than usual yesterday.....i wasnt going to get on the scale till Monday in case i gained ( lost 3 lbs) i wish i could lose the guilt and other issues with food, control...etc....

Thanks! Now waiting for pg 3

I am sure I do not stand alone when I say to you, we are here for you! It wasn't always this way, I didn't used to have a supportive husband. In fact I come from a 10 year marriage where support was the last thing I would expect. My oldest three children are from my first husband, he was a drunk and drug abuser. My oldest son, the one I speak of in this blog was my ex husbands biggest fan. How heart breaking when he found out the truth and still to this day finds out more and more. I am going to add you as a friend... there is much much more to my story that I haven't even gotten to touch yet in my blogs and I think... well I hope you may benefit from it. Please, any time you need someone to vent to, to listen to you, someone who wont judge, someone for support... call on me!

Funny I read your blog and it bought tears to my eyes as I sit back and realize just how much trouble im in. You are so lucky. I am married but by words only we have a torterous horrible existance of a marriage, my husband calls me every name in the book pertaining to fat he is in the works of brainwashing my 6 year old boy to go against me my son actually called me fatty tonight i cant tell you how awesome that felt, my husband is just sitting back waiting for me to fail at this as I did with my other attempts at weightloss. I loved your blog and wish I had your support system but unfortunayely im on my own. I know your life isnt easy the word twins is in the mix, lol my neices are twins 2 years old lord a handful !!! But you nailed it self worth is a huge word and powerful. I think I need to find some before I go in for my sugery. You are a lucky lady. Just remember when things get crazy and hectic and Im sure they do quite alot, there is one of your lines I loved, I got this. so just remember that you got this and hopefully so will I.

You look AMAZING!!! Thanks for sharing!!
