Agreed try to walk as much as possible, it helps to relieve some of that pressure. You'll be feeling better soon. Congrats on the surgery! Best wishes for a speedy recovery!!

Congrats! Isnt it a fantastic feeling?!

Wow that's great news! Congrats on that

Congrats that's wonderful news!

The weekend I started my pre-op liquid diet I had 3 birthday parties to attend. Boy was it tough to resist especially since one of those birthdays was my boyfriends! I just had to stay focused as to the purpose of the pre op diet (staying safe through surgery, shrinking my liver). It's tough but you will get through it too I'm sure! Best of luck

Congrats and best of luck today!!

Congrats...feels great doesn't it?

Your welcome.. Please let me know if you need an ear. I kind of know what you are going though

As a divorced mom of one I have to say that the kids are actually better off in a situation where there is less tension and animosity. They suffer more when they around parents who no longer get along. I know it was an adjustment for my son when my ex and I split when he was two however he is now a very well adjusted five year old whose parents love him very much. You will be ok Summer.. Stay strong and do what's right for you. Happy mom = happy kids

Wow Vamp; hope you and the kids are OK. You need to do what's best for you and your children. Your and their happiness is key. Stay strong girl. If you need an ear, Im here.

My latest progress pics! I'm excited as I actually like how I look in this one lol. I've always hated how I look in pics! Before This is yesterday after the pool.

So I don't need to put my bf on a diet then?? Haha.

Lol let us know the outcome of your research sweet lol. Maybe find an RNY guy hehe jk

Yup NYC is wayyy too hot! I spent the evening in the pool as well! (which explains the new profile pic for me lol)

Lol that'd be something if it was for every 25 lbs lost- yikes!!

Great news!

Thanks Panda! Of course none of us are perfect.. And we will all have battles and struggles on this journey. But for the first time in my life I feel like I'm in control of my eating and really that feels almost as amazing as dropping the lbs. I feel I finally have the stability and understanding about my body and nutrition to keep this lifestyle for the rest of my life. That alone is so empowering. I plan to be here for my now 5 yr old son until he is old and gray. He is my motivator to be the best me I can be.
