Dee-I didn't look at you like you had two heads...I was just amazed that a complete stranger was as thoughtful and sweet as you!!! That is a rare trait to come by in a person!!

Well, the wedding was tonight, I will try to put up some pics... it is amazing what hairdressers can do. She transformed my stick straight,baby fine chin length bob to this:

One of my former coworkers said she didn't even recognize me at first!! That was a pretty good compliment!!

Mini-I lost track of what I have lost for the challenge...but I am pretty sure I met my goal. I swear I am getting "old timers". :biggrin:

Beautiful! Simply marvelous! You're so pretty Munchie!!!! :cool2:

Munch, you look fantastic! And that dress is great, too.

I do. It keeps life fun!

Ohhhhh, I'm so nervous about Tuesday. I'm glad I voted early . . . do you have early voting in Colorado? We've had an amazing turnout so far.

Mini, yes we have early voting here in CO. It is amazing how much attention our state has gotten from the candidates.

Did you guys see the SNL skit last night with Tina Fey and McCain? Hysterical!

SNL has been fabulous this year. Tina Fey is brilliant. Yes, CO has been a real focus. No one comes to Utah. We don't even have the ads on TV.

I heard last night that over 1/2 of the registered voters in Colorado have already voted! Can you believe that? It's great!

We actually DVR SNL every week. I didn't know McCain was going to be on it this week! After I read your post, we sat down and watched it. LOVED IT! I'm impressed - McCain did a pretty good job. The QVC segment was the best!

I am soooo nervous; I am afraid of the Bradley-Effect, you know, lying to pollsters and being racist when in booth.

Oregon is all mail-in elections, so we mailed ours two weeks ago. It has been a difficult wait!

I loved the Oregon mail in vote. Then you can really take your time with each issue, etc. I think it's a great way to do it.

I'm so nervous I can't sleep at night. It's bad.

Okay, today is my four month bandiversary. I've lost 30 lbs . . . not a ton, I know, but a good start. DH has been taking pics of me every month, but the change hasn't been very noticeable cuz I'm SUCH a slow loser. But when I compared my presurgery pics with today's pics, I really could see a difference. So I decided to swallow my pride and share a few with you guys. In case it's not obvious (but I hope it is!) the pics with bandana are before, the others are after. Here goes:

Thanks! The before pic with my big fat butt sticking out is so awful, but I figured that you guys are friends, so what the heck.

I really am starting to feel like I'm having some success. I still have a long way to go, but that's okay.

      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.
