Seven Months Out and Learning to Travel with Myrtle

Oh Jenn........you are truly one of my little tesoros!  Thank you so much for your sentiments.  Hahaha -- not talking about the drinks, eh?  Well, I get it LOL  But is WAS delizioso!!!

You know what, Jenn?  We have a choice every day -- we can wake up and find beauty and peace and love or we can find cruelty and anger and nastiness.  It seems to me to be lots easier to go for the good stuff!  Enough crap falls into our lives without going shopping for it........   So, yes, I tend to be positive, a Pollyanna, and try to find the silver linings in everything.  Not to say I am always successful LOL  And I can go from zero to b*tch in 4 seconds flat!  It's the hot Italian temper LOL

So much love and kindness here and on MFP -- we can wallow in it -- and aren't we just the luckiest people to have found these sites!

Hugs and luv back at ya Cutie!

That's so cool - sounds like a blast.  Your picture of the seatbelt on the plane made my day!!

Hi Michelle,

Yes, it was totally cool and we had a great time!  That seat belt pic is going to be made into a poster and I'm a-gonna hang it on my office wall!!!  Hahahaha

YOU are doing an amazing job rockin' your sleeve -- keep it up..........and be proud of yourself!!!!

Ree

Ree, your happy post made my day!! :) Congratulations on your surgiversary...and you have ROCKED your sleeve, gotten healthier, and built up muscles!! Don't ever discount your progress...over 70 lbs is super-impressive!! I love your pictures and can't wait to see you in one of your new sexy dresses!!

Thank you Vicki..........it's the kindness of people such as yourself that helps make this process easier.  The loving support here and on MFP is amazing and I'm ever so grateful for all of it!

You are moving right along with your sleeve!  WOW -- hadn't realized how far you've come already.   WTG my friend!  Keep fighting the good fight -- you're way beyond half way there...........about 2/3rd I think, right?  Good for you!

Ree

Oh Ree!! I'm so, so glad that you went and had yourself a great time. You certainly deserved it! Your constant cheerfulness, humor, and all-around fabulousness are a constant source of awesomeness for all of us. I love the seatbelt picture!

My Tiny Tina!  Thank you so much for your kind words.  It was a great trip even though we didn't have the best weather - but if you're with people who are fun and positive, it's possible to have fun even in a cow pasture!  LOL  Not that I want to journey into a cow pasture, mind you LOL LOL

I'm so impressed with your progress!  You flew by me like I was standing still!  Well, in a way I am kinda standing still with only 2 pounds lost in a month   But I truly am happy for you.  You're more than half way to your goal and you'll get there soon.  Your total dedication in staying on plan and hitting great numbers every day will do you well.

Hugs,

Ree

Thanks so much! 

I have to tell you, I'm in complete awe of your dedication to this process even before you get your sleeve!  Getting into the habit of logging and developing the good habits now will make your post-op change over so much easier!  Keep up the good work!

You look wonderful and happy. We missed you!
