Celebrating 100 Pre-Op!

[KimA-GA 540]

Greetings,

Going to Celebrate out loud today! I have lost 100 lbs from my July 2021 highest recorded weight and all in PRE op!!! 85.8 Lbs in 2022!

Damn, this has been hard. A lot of emotional and behavioral change went into this effort. A lot of re-education about nutrition and choices. A lot of forgiving myself for getting to this weight. A lot of healing. A lot of journaling. A lot of reminding myself that I am worth taking care of.

It also has been easier than I thought. Once I gained the confidence that I could, I did. Yes, I have had doctor support and taking Ryselbus helped, but mostly this is me making true and long lasting change. I am comforted by the fact that if for some reason I could not have the sleeve surgery on November 3rd, 2022, I would still loose weight and feel better and my LIFE would be better.

Everyone has this in them. Its a tough road, but we can all achieve better in our lives.

Awesome job!

You've been doing a fantastic job, and based on all the prep you're doing for surgery, I think you're going to do even better post-op.

You are doing absolutely amazing!! Keep it up.

Keep up the good work.

Yea I’m sure they are going to be very proud of you at your clinic. And the weight you have lost will make your surgery that much safer. That’s a huge reward. Happy birthday to your son. Lots to Celebrate.
