Mitz, I couldn't agree with you more! There is absolutely no aspect of my life that isn't improved (with the possible exception of my clothing budget!). The things I can do now - its amazing! And no pain!! I was so worried about not being able to take Advil - now I never need it! What a difference a year can make.

SO TRUE. Everything is better. Ev. Ry. THING! And nothing hurts. I actually JOG now and nothing hurts. It's a miracle.

I did my first 5k! I got a medal! So proud of myself. I even ran a little instead of wogging!

I did good. I was with a couple of friends. One of them was struggling pretty bad to make it. She just started her weightless journey. I kept stopping and walking backwards to encourage her. so, all that being said. I finished in 58 minutes. Already planning another one and will improve time.

I feel fabulous and proud!

I just noticed it says weightless instead of weightloss.. I might like that term better. Lol

I am nervous because tomorrow I meet with the Dietician about my progress on the Bariatric Pathway. I typed up a three page note describing everything I have done and will complete this month. There really is no reason I should not be referred to the surgeon by mid June. I really want to have surgery in July or very early August. I am supposed to go to Canada the last weekend of Sept. and to Chattanooga TN to visit old friends and family. Both weekends are women's retreats and I need to be well enough to travel by then. I want to amaze my friends and family. If I don't have surgery in July or very early August I may lose too much weight before I am approved by insurance and I will have to wait until early Nov (sigh) because of my travel plans. I have lost about 17 lbs. since mid-March. The problem is the Dietician insists we stay in preparation for surgery for six months at least. I will have completed all requirements except for the wait. I want to get surgery behind me. I was referred to the Bariatric Pathway on April 9th so my six months will be up November 9th I think. That means waiting from the time I finish requirements in mid-June for five more months! Yikes!!! Pray that she will allow me to do my surgery when I want to do it.
