There are these chairs at work that someone should really just throw out. They have "arm rests" that are the wrong height (which is only a little offensive) , and those "arm rests" make them impossible for people of a certain girth to sit in (which is very offensive). I can now sit in them. ... I still very much think they should be thrown out, because they're exclusionary, but they no longer exclude me, which is a small victory.

Having a tough time today: I'm writing this because I feel like I hit a tough spot because I went to the doctor recently to find out I gained 11 pounds in less than 1 week. I was eating healthy, drinking tons of water and exercise only to gain 11 pounds which saddens me. I gained because my endocrinologist says I have hypothyroidism along with polycystic ovarian cyst syndrome not to mention my thyroid is REALLY off sync so I gain weight very quickly on top of taking lithium/latuda which also fights against my thyroid to make me obsessively gain weight. So I've been kind of frantic trying to find something that works along with gastric bypass. It's funny my family thought it was a easy way out but it's not by far easy at all, it seems to be harder than before surgery but it's worth it in the end I just have count my blessings and be happy of the little things.

I made it thru my 6 month observations!! Everything looks good and now everything is being submitted to the insurance. Continuing my dieting but I'm so excited. Just holding my breath until the insurance comes back!!!! My scheduler said that I am looking at an early January date!! Wish it was sooner but beggars can't be choosers. SOOOO EXCITED!!!

The stall officially broke yesterday and I'm down to 234! So 3lbs lost in 2 days! HALLELUJAH!

I'm looking forward to my surgery this coming Monday! I celebrated with a much overdue pedicure and splurged for the good one lol. I'm so greatful for you guys because I'm not alone in this anymore! I have a whole community of ppl who understand and can support me. I have found a couple of Amazing people already and even found someone having surgery the same day as me lol!!! Thanks guys, today is a good day.

I had my consultation with my surgeon on the 21st of November. The date of my surgery is December 11 (my birthday). I'm excited and nervous, it is getting real now.
