I did it for over a year and it was the best thing I ever did. I was making more money but I liked that I never wore the same thing twice -
Thank you for sharing this it is really helpful as I look to surgery in about a month

Current self-image before surgery
Hopeful in Wake replied to jrsone's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I am also really glad for the 6 months. It helped me create a strong relationship with my primary care physician who did most of my pre work. We had lots of conversations and I did everything she said. I lost 8 pounds in 6 months. I am so glad that blondie66 said that she gained weight in that last little bit and then had more to lose cause that really resonates with me. She is right I should not eat everything I think I wont ever be able to eat again because it just gives me more weight to lose. Amen sister. So I am excited but skeptical as I feel like this will never work because all the pills, diets, crazy exercise etc never worked. But then my Doctor reminds me that recent studies prove that these would not work and that is why surgery is the best option for me. My Doctor has watched me struggle the past 4 years and she knows how hard I have tried. -

Top 10 bucket list after weight loss
Hopeful in Wake replied to Tbird49's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
So this is great. I thought I was the only one with horseback riding. Decided to have surgery when I realized I was over limit. 1. Family portrait 2. Comfortably get on husbands motorcycle. 3. I have a goal dress. But it is a xxl so hopefully that will come fast. 4. Wear boots over leggings 5. Sleep well 6. Run a 5 k 7. Buy something at the Black and White Store. Or at least get it from a thrift shop. 8. Hike Mt LeConte 9. Skinny jeans that aren't called the new skinny. 10. Walk in shorts without having to do that little twitch to keep shorts from riding up my legs. 11. Bathing suit that does not include a skirt. -

Current self-image before surgery
Hopeful in Wake replied to jrsone's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I thought the 6 months would never pass. But it gave me a lot of time to research and wrap my head around the problem. My surgery is scheduled for November 15. On the subject of pre surgery stomach. I will own the fact that yesterday I ate half a cheesecake. Never done that before but in two months my stomach is being removed so ... My biggest fear is I will have surgery and not lose any weight. -

Luisajfc - I am at the point where I am afraid it is not going to help anything. I mean I have done all the classes and requirements date is set. I have read others post. I just feel like I am going to do this and then be the person who does not lose any weight. Of course this has been my experience with everything else I have tried.

November 15 here!!
