forgot my 10 month surgiversary

 i guess that's what happens when you're having fun! realized that yesterday was 10 months since i changed my life.  i'm down 109 pounds since my pre op diet and feeling pretty good about myself.  i went from a size 24/26 to a (drum roll please....) size 12 dress pants and size 14 jeans from old navy.  i can't believe i'm living this life.  i feel confident and attractive.  i'm off all of my antidepressants/anxiety meds since surgery, and just had bloodwork to look at fertility hormones (had years of infertility prior to surgery) and the levels are looking much better than they were.  aiming to run a 5k (currently run/walking it) pretty soon and want to go further.  have dreams of doing a half marathon in disney.  

i owe so much to my husband who has supported me through 13 years of trying to lose weight and feeling sorry for myself.  he's never known me at this weight and i hope he's proud of me too.  i'm proud of myself! 

to all the pre-ops:  hang in there.  take it day by day and you'll be amazed at where you end up.  wish i would have done this years ago.  

Jessica, you are doing awesome!!! Congrats on a great 10 months!!!

Well done! You have achieved so much!

 Thank you for this post! I am preop and hoping to get it done as soon as possible!!!!

Jess thanks so much for the inspiration.  I can never hear this too many times that they wish they had done it a long times ago.  I am pre-op and I so need to hear these positive posts.

Thank you

 thanks everyone... recovery took me longer than usual (dehydration issues) but once i started feeling good, it was amazing.  seriously- one day at a time.  

This post makes me so excited to have surgery and makes me not doubt what I am doing.. even tho I am still scared of surgery itself.. I cant wait for it to just be over with so I can get my new life started!!! :)

Thank you for sharing and inspiring!!!! You are rocking this sleeve! :)
