For so many reason!

Surgery date- 3/23/16.

SW 272

CW 210.

60 more to go.....

Yep. I'm officially in the 10's! Next stop Onederland!

It amazes me daily how the weight loss speeds up and slows down. Seems like when I was in the 30's it was just yo-yo-ing through them. When I hit the twenties, went faster. When I hit the teens- zoom!!!

I've no clue how long it will take to get to 199- but we're in it for the long haul, so it shall do what it shall do in terms of time.

Today I finally packed up all of my plus sized clothing. There is not one piece over a 16 or XL top, and those are getting roomy.

I kept putting it off- finally piling them up in a corner of my room until my husband asked if I wanted him to bag them for donation. Nope, it was something I needed to do myself. I didn't mourn them- other than a couple of pieces I actually loved- as I thought I would. I was giddy cleaning out my closets today. Someone is going to get a great deal at goodwill on some beautiful size 22-18 Tahari suits! My closet is quite barren now, save for the few things I am buying to get myself through- mainly workout clothes that double as errand running outfits.

Next week we Celebrate our 20th anniversary. Instead of Vegas, or Nashville we're going hiking at Starved Rock here in Illinois. Now THAT is a vacation I could not have done even 3 months ago!!!

Congratulations! My husand and I had our 20th in April. We haven't done a whole lot to Celebrate yet. i have a while to go before I have my surgery. I'm in Ontario, and it usually takes 12-18 months from the date we're referred but I am so encouraged by reading other success stories. I was referred 4 months ago, so I'm getting there. Your success is an inspriation! Keep up the great work. :)

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
