Seven Months Out and Learning to Travel with Myrtle

Awww, thanks Jenn   That seat belt thing always bugged me and smooshing myself into those seats made for skinny-butt people, well, that was demoralizing.  Now I'm trying to become one of those skinny-butt people myself LOL

We're getting there -- some faster, some slower -- but we all have the same goal.....GOOD HEALTH!

WAY  CUTE!!!! I love the hat!!!   Love the picture... and a friendly reminder that your average loss per month is OVER  10lbs.  When did we EVER do that before!!!!   That My Dear, is quite impressive.  I'm so glad we're on this journey together.  You make me smile!!!

Thanks Lesa!  I have to wear hats -- the hair issues that had started a few years pre-op have gotten worse.  So, hats are my "statement" when I'm not wearing "Agnes" -- a little wiglet that hides some of the worst areas!  Hahahaha  Have to find humor and silver linings so we don't go bezonkers over every little (or big) thing that smacks us!

Thanks for the reminder.......I'm just greedy and want losses to be more and faster!  Call me Patience!  LOL

I'm happy to share this journey with you, too........but I still think you're so cute that it must be illegal!  You look amazing my friend!  And TINY, too!!!!

Hugs,

Ree

Buon Giorno! SOO happy for you!and I guess for those of us that fly regularly the seatbelt issue is a big one! not only, but with the cost of airfare, economy seats is all I can afford and getting squished into those tiny seats is tough! kept wondering when they were going to tell me to start buying an extra ticket....

Nothing wrong in trying out "forbidden" things, as long as they don't take over.....Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the kind words!  I hear you about the travel stuff -- having one less thing to be concerned about makes things so much nicer. 

You're right, of course, about "forbidden" things -- it's just that I was totally hard core from the get-go and then to flip and decide to test my sleeve took a lot of courage for me.  What I learned is that staying on plan is just easier and more enjoyable for me.  What I lack in some ways, I more than make up for with loads of herbs and spices.

We can both keep up our good work..........it's a never ending process.........lifestyle changes have to be that way!

Oh Ree! I missed seeing you on here!!! It's funny because I was just thinking, where is Ree and someone posted the same question in the forums. You really are such an inspiring and positive presence here. Congrats on all your continued success. Goodness knows you've earned it girl!!

Hi Summer!

Thanks for the nice comments!  This whole process is wonderful and to have found so many kind and loving people here and on MFP -- well, it just makes everything easier!

YOU are so close to goal!  Fantastic job on getting there so quickly.  Be proud of yourself!  I'm proud of you, too!

Ree

Ree, you are such an amazing and special soul. You make my days better and I KNOW I'm not the only one. You are ROCKING your sleeve and your loss is great...over 10lbs a month! I love you more than my Keurig...and that's sayin' something! Congrats, beautiful lady

Heather, you make this a joy!  Your humor and support are priceless and so important.  Thank you for your sweet words.  So many people supporting each other can only bring success for all of us.

You're getting really close to goal!  How soon before the motorcycle?  Exciting prospects!

LOL  Well, first time I've ever been in competition with a Keurig!  Like I said......you bring humor and joy wherever you are!

Hugs,

Ree

I just love you Ree, you are simply adorable and I LOVED your post!!!!  You made me giggle with the "woozy" thing and that drink sounds delish!!!  OK, I'll stop on that subject there.

I'm so glad that you are such a positive person and appreciating all your success in all the ways they have come from your SV's to your NSV's.  You deserve this happiness and I am happy for you.  Thanks for sharing the pics! 

BTW, you were missed around here on OH.  Someone even posted yesterday about you wondering where you were.  We love you Ree, take care and I'm happy to see you back!!!  Luv ya!
