That's somthing to think about for sure!!!

@UWISHTOO, I'm the same way. I plan to fly out to San Diego on May 30th, surgery on the 31st, fly home on the 3rd and start working from home ASAP. I actually took 6 days total vacation but hoping I wont have to use them all. We shall see! I dont see why you couldnt visit you clients after surgery. Maybe just wear a sundress so your belly isnt confined. DUNNO....I'm playing this by ear myself! Seen some who are up and about shortly after surgery and then I've seen some that can't get moving for 2-3 weeks. Nice bike by the way! You look like a rock-n-roll hot mama in your profile pic!

You go UWISHTOO!!! I have been riding so long now that if I even dare to get on the back of my boyfriends bike I squeeze him till he can't breath! I wonder about how long it will take before I can ride also! My bike is pretty darn heavy! Once I get going, I'll be fine....it's just being able to handle it at a stand still...... Thoughts anyone?

Agreed! I am the same way! I keep sneaking off to the forum....its like my new addiction! Work 5 minutes and then...poof.....concentration is gone!

Fantastic video Holly!!! Wishing you the best of luck! Keep us posted!!!

Yeah, not a pretty sight for sure! I also seem to carry a lot of weight in my upper body. My arms are huge. The pics didnt do them justice at all! I am so embarrassed to wear sleevless shirts now!!! I live in Texas though and it gets so hot here you have to!!! Booking our flights to San Diego tonight! I am SOOOO excited! I'm not taking too much time off from work. I work from home a lot so I'm hoping I will be able to sit at the computer in less than a week. We shall see!

@ Findeing Myself....that is so true! Border line diabetic is just around the corner for me! I gave up smoking almost a week ago so I'm hoping that will help the shortness of breath! I travel a lot all over the world and lately I am finding its extremely hard to lug my computer case and the roll around luggage while traveling. I have to stop and catch my breath in the middle of the airport. What gives??? Well....that would be the unhealthy weight I have put on in the past 10 years! I feel like I look like a beached whale in ANYTHING I put on nowdays! Reality finally sank in when I took my "BEFORE" pics and uploaded a little while ago.....GROSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can usually hide some of that fat under clothes. Not now.....I bared it all baby! You can't even see by undie bottoms from the front view cause of my gut hanging over!!! YUCK!!! THIS HAS TO BE THE ANSWER TO MY PRAYERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@Babygirl, looks like you are well on your way! 47lbs gone is fantastic! How long ago was your surgery? Keep it up, and this time next year you'll be cruisin down the road with the wind in your face riding your own scooter!!!

What an inspiration! You look beautiful! I hope my results are as great as yours!

I saw you in that strapless dress hot mama!!! You go girl! Beautiful!!!

Hate to say it but....I will soon be 44 years old and I don't plan to tell my parents until its all over with and I'm a skinny minni! I really don't want either of them to worry about me! The surgery is bad enough, but, going to Mexico to have my surgery is 10 times worse! No need to put them through all that until it's over! I told my best friend (she's going with me) and my boyfriend. I also told 1 person at work and swore them to secrecy!

I'm jealous too! My surgery isn't until May 31st and the waiting is pure torture!

Makes you wanna ask them if their mother never taught them mannors!

I'm with ya FindingMyself!!! I am going to TJ to see Dr. Almanza on May 31st. My BFF is going with me. She probably weighs 110lbs soaking wet and has told me over and over that I'm not fat...I look fine...I don't need surgery. It honestly infuriates me to no end! I love her but...seriously...how can a "skrawwwny" chick like that say such a thing? I'm 5'4 and weigh 200lbs. Been wearing a 2x to 3x for a long time and I just keep going up! I have held on to those old jeans for years hoping I could fit into them again. I have tried every diet out there and had success with some only to goin it back + some when it's all said and done! I would love, love, love to see 125lbs again! To be able to go shopping and look GOOD in those new cloths instead of a cow in a moo-moo would be FANTASTIC!!! Boots in Houston
