A more amazing and beautiful me is about to break out. I want to inspire others with my story.

NSV! Four inches off my waist since pre-op! I HAVE a waist again!

5 days post op own 15 lbs!!!

I got home late last night from an exhausting nine-day work trip to Tampa. Even with all the disruption to my normal routines, I still lost a little over 1 pound (and I had red wine every day of trip). My partner was able to go with me, thank goodness. My weight loss journey and transformation was a central focus and topic of conversation the entire time as I have known many of these colleagues for 10 years or more. As has always been the case during my journey, I answered questions honestly and spoke of my pre-op, surgery, and post-op experiences. I got nothing but support, congratulations, and best wishes from anyone. And one person even confided in me that my success has given her the confidence to schedule an appointment with her PCP to talk about WLS. This is why I have been transparent. That decision may not be for everyone, but I will certainly never regret it. Now, I move onward (thankful that I am back home and I can settle into my normal food and drink routine!).
