Hi everyone. Been a while since I checked in. I've been doing good. Down 105 lbs now in total (72 since surgery). I am in a 18/20 in some pants, 22 in others. I put on an XL tshirt the other day and it fit, but I wasn't comfortable in it at all (too tight in the arms, too short in the arms). My shoes are starting to get a bit loose on me again too, so I am thinking I will end up going down there again too. I started in a size 11, went down to 91/2 and will probably go down to a 9 next time I go shoe shopping.

I joined a gym last week. I am going 45 minutes a day/5 days a week. I sure am hungry on the days I go to the gym! lol I am doing the bike for 30 minutes getting around 6 miles in and finishing up with the treadmill for 15 minutes (haven't been keeping track of distance on it). What's even weirder is I am actually enjoying going and look forward to it every morning :) SO WEIRD!! lol

Also, this weekend I planted a garden in the back yard. I am amazed every day how much easier things are now, little things like bending over to tie my shoes or spending all day digging in the yard :)

Hi there. I have not had my surgery yet or even know what date I will have it but I am glad to hear that the surgery has worked great for you. I am working hard on getting all my appointments done. Just went to the dietitian last week and ready to see he psych next Monday. Do you know how long after your first dietitian appointment it took to get a surgery date? I am just trying to figure out when I will be taking time off of work because we have some people at the office that will be off on vacation and just want to get a time frame for vacation purposes. Hope to hear from you!

I'm sure it is different for every surgeon's office, but mine does a day of preadmission testing and dietician class two weeks before surgery.

You're looking fabulous!

The thought of my feet shrinking is super exciting! I'm in an 11 and there's hardly ANY cute shoes on that size.

Great job darling!
