Hey guys....Car isn't toooo bad. I can deal with it. Its scuffed. Im sure it would buff out...but whos taking it anywhere with a $500.00 deductible? Not me~ Its the bumper, I dont see what behind me....sooo Im good with it. :) No one was hurt...No big damage... Would have appreciated someone being honest with me, but hey......FOUR SIZES SMALLER!!!

I started this whole adventure at a size 24...somethings were size 26!!! Today I wiggled into a size 16!!!!!! I think I was like 14-15 years old the last time I saw that size.....I AM SOO PSYCHED!!! Mousecrazy...I hope this has been inspiring enough for you~~~:Banane34: I can't wait to get to my goal weight~~~

I have to tell ya, I was trying on a shirt, and I kept asking my mother...ma, what the hell is wrong with this shirt? Is it bunched up somewhere? She said Hope, that shirt is gorgious on yoU~ Go look in that mirror (one of them multi sided mirrors) I stood there looking and looking. I figured it out. It wasn't the shirt at all...it was ME! My shoulders are getting less broad.....I actually looked a little "petite" in the shoulders of all places...I am a very stocky woman and a little dantiness is going to sooo be appreciated~ I use to have to rip shoulder pads out of EVERYTHING!!!

Thanks Emily......It is a very exciting time. I can't wait to see whats around the corner~ I have been dying to go to Italy. I got a tour package from Perillo Tours...and o mahgod.....expensive as all get out~ I dont see the Italy trip happening any time soon, but its something to absolutely look forward to. The trip that I want to take.....Palermo for 2 nights, Agrigento for 1, Taormina Lido for 3, Sorrento for 3 and Rome for 3nights starts at $4,129.00~~~ WHOA....But thats an all inclusive price. Soo in reality.....I dunno...Worth it, to me it would be. But I am planning on bringing my son and shopping money so we are talking $10,000.00 almost!!! I think if I just booked a flight and did my own thing it would be a lot cheaper, but then again, I dont know where Im going in Italy....hey, may be an interesting way to meet a single Italian man willing to move to the states...ehaa~~ My main point of interest is Palermo...thats where my family immigrated from and I would love to go back there just to see. I want to see the people, the architecture, the food....gosh...just one more thing to look forward to.....New job is going to help me reach this goal.

Congrats on the smaller sizes!!

Just curious ... I work at a call center for a large bank headquartered in Seattle that has a call center in the state of New York. Any chance that we'll be co-workers?!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
