Howdy ????

Congrats!!!! ????

I just turned 31 and I wish I had done this 5 years ago. But I don't think I was mentally ready if that makes sense. It's a personal choice. If your doctor is comfortable then don't let outside opinions get in your head.

I agree about being gone from work soo long may have ppl question. But I actually told a little white lie. I'm also having a major hernia repair. So that's exactly what I told my job I'm having done. They don't need any further info. lol Lol I said the same thing!!! It's true they are going to repair my hiatal hernia but do a lil extra work ????. I feel its no ones business but my own. I told close family and a couple of friends. I'm not required to do a supervised diet but I'm starting one now. Mostly cause I'm freaking out about hair loss. My surgery will be in April or May so I'll just let them assume weight loss is from my current diet.

Everything you said was so on point with me. My biggest dream is to travel and doing this surgery will help me see the world. I'm not telling many people either. My family and a few close friends. It is my journey and I don't need to worry about judgments. I have been looking at all the before and after pictures and I can't wait to wear cute clothes!!!!!!!

In high school I was very active. I was on the school's dance team and worked out constantly. Then I went to college and met my future ex-husband. I've always been a people pleaser and put everyone ahead of me. My relationship with my ex was toxic from the beginning. I lost many friends because they couldn't support the relationship. I put him first for 11 years. He was very controlling. I didn't realize it, but I was losing my identity trying to make sure he was happy. I had to constantly ask him for permission to do anything. I lost motivation. And most importantly, I lost what made me "me". My divorce was finalized last spring and I feel like my life has started. Before I hid in my house to afraid to leave and relied on food to comfort me. Now I want more than anything to be out of my house. Be active. Im so excited for this next chapter.

Copying these recipes!! I have yet to find a Protein shake I like so I'm willing to keep looking! Thanks ????

Just finished the first season of the 100 on Netflix. I didn't realize they only had the first season!! ???????? I was ready to complete my binge ???? But it's really good, not sure why I waited so long to watch it. I

This breaks my heart. I'm so sorry. Praying for you.
