So today I am officially 53 years old. I would have never thought last year that today I would be 63 pounds lighter. I thought I was doomed to being an overweight out of shape person for the rest of my life. I am so grateful for having done this surgery and look forward to losing the rest of my weight. For so many years I missed out on the joys of life beating myself up and not participating in the fun things. Not anymore!! I am going to finish the rest of my weight loss to reach goal and live life to the fullest! I am enjoying shopping in stores that I have wanted to shop in for so long. The inner thin person wanted to look different than what the plus size clothes would allow and now I can do that! Oh one more thing on the day my mother gave birth I also gave birth to my son. So it is his birthday as well......family celebration tonight! :)

I definitely did mean that. I bought myself some happy birthday to me clothes at JCrew, White House/Black Market, Ann Taylor, and a few more. I was literally out of clothes! I was a 22/24 and bought size 16's. I am hoping these will take me through the winter. I tried the resale stores and couldn't find anything so thankfully we have some terrific outlet stores by me. Thank Goodness!!! :)

Happy birthday! Yesterday was my 39th birthday and I stepped on to the scale at 204.5. That's 100 pounds down from when I decided last November that I needed help. Now on to my next goal - to lose 4.6 pounds (be less than 200!) by my kids' bdays in 2 weeks. We're flying to seem husband's family after Christmas and I'm looking forward to being sooo close to my goal weight!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
