So I have this one photo that was taken by my mother last fall while we were visiting the science museum. I knew I was big, I knew I had a food addiction but I never thought I was THAT big until she sent me the photo that day. She seemed so happy to have captured the moment but all I could see was how big I truly was! It hurt! It broke my heart and yes it makes you wonder. The following week I went to my first seminar about weight lose surgery. That was the beginning of December 2015. I had the sleeve done two weeks ago today and I am down 50 lbs since that seminar. I lost 25 on my own just from meeting with my nutritionist and then 5lbs the week prior to surgery and now 18lbs in the last two weeks. This has not been easy! I'm still struggling even with the results. It's a hard diet but with no wiggle room! You don't get to take a day off. You don't get just a bite and I am not about to lose my hair or have flabby skin because I am not taking my vitamins or drinking my water. Keep that photo! Make you a goal poster and slap that picture right in the middle so everyday you can see and know WHY you did this! Put your kids picture up there too because my three girls are my inspiration. I want to run with them and hike and play games! Let your life begin and kick food to the curb!

Great job!!! Congratulations! I love the success stories! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

September 19 is my surgery date and I am so nervous that I can not sleep. I am ready for this change in my life cause I have three very active young girls to keep up with but I believe because this is my first surgery ever is why I am so nervous. I put on some weight right before my pre-op diet but now that I am "dieting" it is coming off slowly. Congrats to you for taking this step to make your life better and excited to be a friend during our looser path LOVE IT! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
