Awesome!!! Best Wishes!!

I really didn't have a lot of preop emotions. Once I decided that I wanted the surgery, I never looked back or second guessed myself. The night before surgery I did feel exactly like I did the night before I went to bootcamp in the Navy. It felt like it was the start of a new life, a life unlike anything I had ever lived before. It was very surreal when I was being wheeled into the operating room. I am almost 11 months post-op and I cannot wait to see what the next 11 months holds. I get goose bumps just typing this.

Wishing you a fast recovery!!!

Postitive self talk works wonders for me. "Hold the vision and trust the process"

I had none and took myself off my pain meds 2 days after surgery.

Wishing you all the best!!!

I have absolutely noticed this. I have no idea how much of my weight loss has been muscle, but I am willing to bet a lot. My GF who happens to be an RN said I am all skin and bones. I have lost by my estimate 18% body fat. I try to get all my protien in, but I know I am falling short. I love lifting weights but have noticed a big decrease in my strength. I am going to continue to lift weights and see what happens.

No F&^%ing way!!

Amazing!!!

I rarely go out to eat, but if I do, I do not explain myself to anyone when ordering, unless I feel like humoring them. Then I might tell them I am a surgically altered freak.

LOL, Hang in there.

You got this. Remember you are stronger than you think you are. Best Wishes!!!

LMAO!!!

I also agree. None of their business. Best Wishes!!!

September 30th is my one year anniversary. Does that count?

I agree with Baconville on this one.

Congrats!! It is a wonderful feeling!!!

Interesting, I have not had this happen yet.

Go hit up the thrift stores Jason. I have been doing that on a bi-monthly basis.

Unjury brand. I love it, and it mixes up great.

Getting a new operator license at the DMV on Monday. I still haven't stopped smiling. I am going to scan the old and new pic and post them in my gallery.

Good for you!!!

"I am stronger than I think I am" "I can run faster than I think I can" "Attitude is everything" "This is my own personal journey and I am finding my way" "Relentless forward motion" those are just a few of mine that i like and say daily
