On the treadmill yesterday:

Damn, I have missed running

Anyone care to add any?

I just use a pair of scissors and rotate the point until it carves a new hole.

Its fun and exciting.

The other day I got mad because something interfered with my workout time. LOL.

I never used to work out, other then swimming.

I have been saying that for the last 2 weeks.

I have been trying to figure out the last time I was at my current weight. It's been over 10 years.

That's what I did, well not with scissors but went out to the work bench with a pocketknife and made a new hole. I'd like to skip over the next size and wear the prefectly good one hanging in the closet.

But for the last 8 years I've had to buy bigger and bigger belts.

honestly believe my car mileage is better because I weight 60 pounds lighter. like 2,3 MPG better.

I keep fairly good track of my fuel mileage. I am amazed at what I have recently getting.

Your gas mileage is probably slightly better!!!

Every 8lbs you lose is like adding an extra 1hp to the car.

So if you drive the same it is taking about 8hp less to propel you!!!! Now for the bad news. You BMR works the same way....as you lose weight, you burn less calories to do the same basic things.

This XL fits great.

I can get clothes at Wal Mart and Target ( which is good since I keep getting slimmer and need new cheap clothes).

I'll see if I can jog alittle longer today.

I never thought I'd pass up on a low cut dress for an occasion - becuase it showed that I have no cleavage and my chest bones stick out, lol.

I said the other day at Logan's - "...a booth is fine..."

I know I was marveling at that a couple weeks ago when we went out for lunch.< /p>

Wearing medium size clothing is totally awesome. Especially since 3X were tight.

      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?
