NSV:
Last night we went to my neighbors birthday party and instead of watching every one take care of my twins and son, I took care of them PLUS another set of twins (age 3, mine are 2.5) and 3 other kids. I played football with the oldest. When I put my 4 y/o son to bed he said "Mom, you are the coolest mom. None of the other moms were playing football, and where did you learn to throw like that??"  That was priceless to me. I then explained I had 3 older brothers who taught me.

It felt wonderful to be present and involved instead of a spectator. I had the most beautiful girl come up to me and told me I looked wonderful and she is checking to see if her insurance will cover it. She also told me she was jealous of me b/c she saw me playing and running with my kids. (one of the reasons I got the surgery) I told my dh and he said he has NEVER seen me got up and play with the kids. Yesterday and today made me PROUD of myself that I took the steps to get this surgery.

 Congrats on the victories!!! 

you have lost 102 lbs since June??!! Amazing! Congrats!

Over 100 pounds in two months !!!??  HOW did you do that !!  I am so wanting to hit the 100 mark !  I had my surgery May 10th, lost 50 lbs preop and only 38 more since ...

That is so wonderful and one of the reasons that I am going through with the op.  I want to be the Mum who can go riding with her daughter not sit on the side watching.  I want to run the Mums race on sports day etc. etc. etc.  What a wonderful weightloss you've had and what a change it has made to your life.

That's exactly why I'm doing this too.  I'm scheduled for Oct. 11 and I've had so many reservations.  I've been telling myself that it's selfish of me to spend the money (self pay-ugh!) and asking what if I have complications but I'm starting to see that it would be selfish of me to continue on like this.  My children deserve more of me, which I can only give if there is less of me.    

Over Labor Day weekend we camped out with friends on a private lake.  It was incredible but it really brought home to me how much I was missing out on with my kids.  I wouldn't even try to go on the float island, the water trampoline and forget about kayaking!  Other people took my kids out so they had a fun time but it should have been me doing it!  I wanted to do it but I knew I couldn't.  I don't want that to ever happen again.  I don't want to sit on the side lines watching them and my husband LIVE, I want to LIVE with them. 

I am down 102 from my highest weight (which was last year) I have lost 42 lbs since surgery and 56 since may. Not 102 since 6/24. LOL

I have a 5 year old and I hear ya!  I'm so proud to be able to walk, run and play with my daughter too!  It's such a good feeling not to have to say...my back hurts, I'm tired, I've got other things to do!  At one point when my daughter was 3 she would say to people...my back hurts!  It was so embarrasing!  hahahah  Congrats to you!  Keep it up and they will have a hard time keeping up with YOU!  SuperMommy!
