I'm 5'1 and I think I'm going to buy my goal outfit in a size 8 or 10. Shoot for the stars, right?!

Enlarged ventricle where exactly? We have ventricles in our brains, hearts, liver, gallbladder, etc

This is why we just use condoms... too much for my brain to process when considering the med options. Good luck to you.

You're getting closer! Time flies, so you'll be waking up on Christmas morning 20-30lbs lighter before you know it!

No, no plans to go to Mexico. I got approved for $11,000 worth of care credit and get back another $10,000-ish between my husband and my school returns and tax return. That's the only way I can finance myself. I'm broke as a joke and that's the reason I've put it off this long. But I just decided that ya know, we usually invest this tax return and school return money into vacation and yeah, it's selfish to keep it for my surgery and not do a family vacation. BUT I think it's far more selfish to die young and leave my children mother-less. Besides, future family vacations will be so much more fun with a mom who can actually walk all over Disney World without stopping to sit every five minutes. If my timeline plays out, I should be 1 year post-op, graduate with my RN, and have my 10 year anniversary all at the same time in 2014. I'm going on a BIG vacation that year. lol

You look great and I look forward to seeing many 'after' pics from you over the next several months! Congrats on starting this new life soon.

I have painful bunions in my two big toes and I'm hoping that losing weight will help with that. We'll find out soon enough!
