UPDATE! Today is my first day back to work...I had a back to back meetings today & had to sprint from one to the other & I took a phone call while doing so... When I finally got to my destination I realized: I wasn't out of breath, sweating, my chest wasn't tight. It was awesome! I might have small setbacks but its moments like this that I am happy I made this decision. I just wanted to share!

I was worried about Jerky being to tough on my pouch, but this was great.

That is awesome. I had a similar experience when I rode to a meeting wit coworkers. We had to park several blocks away from the building. Not only could I walk the distance with no problem but I was in front of the group!!!!!! It felt so good not to be lagging behind.

So I broke down and went shopping yesterday. I had to get some shirts for my new job. I bought 8 shirts and 2 dresses but I bought them in 2 different sizes. Some I can wear now, some I'll wear later. Also the company provides coats, fleeces, and raincoats. I ordered them all in a smaller size because I figure by the time I need a coat I'll hopefully be able to wear a large.

I am running up and down the stairs at work now. I use to dread when the door rang and wait to see if someone else in the office was going. Now I'm the first one up to take another turn on the stairs.

It's Paying off Sunday I fit comfortably in my seat at church. I can remember when that was true before. Felt great!

Congratulations to all June post -ops! we are an awesome group of winners. the changes have just begun and like all of you i am amazed on a daily badis on the things i can now do again.

had to laugh at a change i noticed yesterday. in the shower and wsshing my legs and ( without my glasses) noticed a large bump on the back of my calf....oh sh*t!!! i quickly examined the other calf ......same large bump...double sh*t!!!!!.....then it occurred to me, those are lean toned calf muscles from all tje walking, havn' t seen.toned muscle on me for so long forgot what it looked like....sometimes im such a moron :-)

oh! i did find a plain greek yogurt at Target "FAGE" brand 0% fat 7 grams of carbs and 18 grams of PROTEIN....Good stuff.

Have a great day wonderful and thinning beautiful people.

AS OF THIS MORNING I AM DOWN 70 POUNDS!!

Sometimes it feels like the scale is moving so slowly, it is easy to forget how far I have come. I really didn't start trying to lose until mid April, and today I am 6 weeks post surgery. I still have a very long way to go, but for the first time in years, I feel like I have a chance of making this work!!

I have to share a funny...

Saturday I was getting ready to go to a retirement part. I put on a dress that I have NEVER worn. I bought it over a year ago on clearance and it ended up being too tight. So I'm dressed and ready to go and my 20 year old son says gee mom... what happened to your boobs? they are gone. My husband laughed and said yeah I noticed that too but wasn't going to say anything....

at least they noticed a difference :)

      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.
