Fit comfortably in any seat I choose (lawnchair, movie theater, airplane etc.)

I've been sleeved!

My husband and I flew down to San Diego and then were picked up by my Doctor's office and driven down to Mexicali.   I must say to anyone that is wondering that going to Mexico was a wonderful experience. My doctors were fabulous and the hospital was very nice.  I'm happy I made the choice.

I't's been almost 3 weeks since my surgery and I had lost 17 lbs last Wed when I weighed myself. I don't want to start obsessing so I still just weigh myself and make note of it on Weds.

I am happy to report that I am now pulling some clothes out of my too small bag and that is a wonderful feeling!

I'm still on liquids so I have a hard time getting much protein.  So, I'm really tired, but seeing those numbers on the scale drop makes all this worth it!

Well just a few days until I fly out for my surgery. 

I'm looking forward to positive changes but I'm so anxious and nervous about the surgery and mostly the recovery.  I need to be able to take care of my children and do what needs to be done.  

I was thinking about a list of things that I am wishing and hoping for as an outcome of the surgery.

1.To be able to not have the red grooves in my stomach because my jeans are too tight.
2. To be able to go out dancing at my favorite club.
3. To take salsa lessons.
4. To wear some clothes I have had stashed away for years because one day I might be able to fit in them again.
5. To not feel like the fat girl in the room.
6. To not feel discusted with myself everytime I look in the mirror.
7. To be a good influence on my daughters and to make all my children proud.
8. To walk up the stairs in my house without being out of breath.
9. To walk from the back of the parking lot at work without being out of breath. 
10. To not feel like the fat sister and daughter.
11. Go on vacation with my family next year and be able to fit on the rides and enjoy them with my kids.
12. Go horseback riding again.
13. To wear lingerie from Victoria Secret for my husband.
14. Weigh under 200lbs
15. Weigh less than my husband!
16. Lose 100 lbs.
17. Cross my legs
18. Have energy to run around and play with my kids at the park.
19. Be able to jump on the trampoline without worrying that I will break it.

21. Leave Lane Bryant behind. 
22. Have better sex with my husband!!!!
23. Wear tall calf boots.

I'm sure there are many more, but that's all Ican think of for now.
