My first true lightweight moment!!!

Today I went and got my EKG and chest x-ray done, and the coolest thing happened............

Lightweight moment!!!

The registrar is checking me in, asking routine questions, and she says "This is post-op ri----, wait, this is pre-op??

I smiled and said "Yes, my BMI qualifies me and my surgeon thinks I'm an excellent candidate!"

She just said "Ohhhh..." with a dazed look on her face, lol.

Had me smiling a cheesy grin for hours!

PS: How come nobody warned me about how incredibly real it starts feeling once you start this stuff......wow.

I thought I knew how amazing this is going to be, but living the experience vs. reading about it here is soooooooo much better!!!

Okay, that sounds kinda stupid...........but it's true!!!!!

It's great when they think you are too small..........I loved that too.  Made me that much prouder to have made my decision to get control of my life.
