First major snowstorm of the year and it was the heavy, sloppy ice chunk type. Last year the shoveling would have knocked me out for the day, and it would have even made me fee physically ill. This year, I barely broke a sweat. Feel fine. Great, actually. It's nuts how different everything is. How much BETTER... even shoveling heavy, sloppy, ice chunk snow....EVERYTHING IS!

Great attitude! I agree; it IS amazing!

A ring guard fits inside a ring to make it smaller. It can be fitted at a jeweler- kind of welded on. Or there are temporary ring guards available online.

I'll have to look into it. Thanks! :-)
Thanks! I've had to take mine off as well and I miss them so! Ill take then to the jeweler tomorrow.

I can fit my watch again. Finally. It's been over a year since I last wore it. 30lbs down made the difference.

I tried on sz12 jeans at TJMaxx today and they didn't fit! They were LOOSE!!! The clerk must have thought I was an idiot when I gave them to her and told her they didn't fit but I was grinning like a crazy woman! :-)

My wish is to hit 100lbs lost by Christmas day. Today I am only 2.7lbs away. It's possible I'll get there! :-)

I hit 100 lbs lost today. :) not since surgery but from my highest weight of 267 back in 2008 when I started this weight loss journey. I am so happy that I achieved this milestone. 40 more to go to get to my personal goal of 'solidly' being in the 120s.

I'm still holding out hope of making it to that 100lbs lost mark by end of year. I'm 20lbs away, so it seems unlikely but I bet I might at least get close.

On another note, I'm fitting into some 1x stuff now. I was a 4x 4 months ago. Pretty incredible.

All my rings need to be resized but I need to wait since I am only 5 months out. My diamond eternity band can't be resized. I'm so sad about that.

I had my eternity band resized. Have them so it and keep the stones.

Tomorrow morning we pick up my son at the airport. He knows I had weight loss surgery but the last time he saw me was in June, only three weeks after my surgery, and I was still over 200lbs. I weigh 135 now! I have lost so much weight since then, he won't recognize me! I can't wait to see the look on his face! :-)

I've always been told eternity bands cannot be resized. I will check into it. Thanks.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
