I can’t believe how fast it flew by.
Let’s start with some numbers. I know some people don’t think you should focus on the numbers, but hey, it’s my day I’ll do what I want.
Start weight: 294, Goal weight: 164, Current weight: 162
Shirt size was 3x, 26/28 - now M/L

Reflecting on 2010

Reflecting on 2010.
Six months of work and learning to get myself ready for WLS. Just to realize that I will be working and learning this for the rest of my life.
May 12, 2010 - I had my guts re arranged and my life changed forever.

These are my confessions...

Ok - so I watched Usher: Behind the music this weekend. But seriously, here’s my confession. I did not have this surgery for my health. At least that was not my main reason. Nope, my main reason was that I was tired of being the fattest person in the ...

Went shopping for the first time.

Finally gave in and admitted I need some new pants and capri’s. All of my current ones have droopy butts in them. Which, while a good thing, is so not cute.

Ended up at Boscov’s, who had almost a dozen racks of clearance clothes.

But, somewhere around the one hour mark I unclenched my ...

Even MORE exciting - I am finally starting to feel great. Tons more energy, and tolerating food better. ...

One month, 4 pounds down.

Had my second nutrition appointment and am down 4 pounds! It may not sound like a lot, but my surgeon asked me to lose 14 pounds before surgery. To make it easier on him surgery day. I'm not going to fib and say I worked hard at it. Basically just ...

I'm Ready. Bring it on.

I’m not quite sure when I went from "maybe I can do this" to "Why can’t we do it Now?"
But suddenly - there I am.
I’ve find myself thinking all day, "This time next year…" I’ll sleep better. My back won’t hurt as much. I’ll fit in my chair/seat/car better.
I will walk up ...
