So three days prior to my ds I was in a good friends wedding so I used those pics as my befores.  The pics were embarrassing and I felt like such a blob in that dress and it was my least fav color PINK... What we do for friends.  On a positive note we had family pics taken yesterday for the first time ever! I know it's only been 2 months but I figured heck why not.  I have a journey infront of me and I know th,,t but it's an exciting one!  I just want to push myself to be healthy and enjoy my family.  I am thankful everyday
BEFORE AND AFTER PICS ARE IN MY GALLERY

I participated in my first 5k today and completed it without stopping!  I am truly proud of myself and thrilled that I went out of my comfort zone and did something!!! I feel great and once I was done I was thrilled that I did it! 50lbs ago I dont think I would have even attempted...

So I went to an appointment at my husbands work for our insurance last night and my bp is 97/62? Really I feel great and have been doing so well and now bp issues man... My drs office said drink more fluids which I really need to do.  Any other advise is welcome.

On a good note I have signed up for my first 5k walk/jog Im excited to finally be doing it and not wanting to do it.  Time to do not talk right!  It's not until Sept 10th but I have a positive feeling about it.

Well it's been almost a month and I am still feeling great!  I think I've got the daily protein down and the 30 min a day of working out.  I am scheduled for my ankle surgery at the end of September which is a 12 week recovery so I will have to get creative with my work out!  Feeling like this is a set back but I know my doctor and his team will help me continue on the right path of my journey.  We will see!  Hope everyone is doing great

So I had my 2 week a little later 2 weeks and 3 days but it was a great visit! I'm on track and doing great and happy as can be!  I get to eat new foods which I LOVE!! I am ready to start working out and getting my health back.  Everyone at GHP is freaking amazing and so helpful!  I am truly blessed to have my husband by my side holding my hand and today has been just a wonderful day! I've pulled weeds and played with the kids back to me and feeling wonderful! Thank you Dr K

well it's been just over a week now and I'm feeling good... actually great! I can only keep hoping to go in this direction.  Yesterday I pulled off my wedding band which doesnt seem big but I havent been able to do in 4 years.  So it was a positive feeling!  Now if my jeans would only get that way... I know time will happen in time. baby steps

I've been home now a few days and am actually feeling pretty good.  I still feel yuck if I do to much and have been actually in shock that it's gone this smooth.  Hope to continue this trend!  Need to keep pushing the water and protein drinks still not getting enough but pushing myself to get more in each day.

Well tomorrow is my big day!  I'm excited and a ton of other feelings but ready for this change.  I've been making lists of what to pack, laying out my food, getting groceries for the kids and sitter and thought I'd pop on real quick.  I wanted to thank some of you for your help this far!  I know you all have other things in life to do as well but thank you for the questions you've answered and the support you have given me this far.  The start of this journey has been easier because I have you all to talk to.  Is there any last minute advice you can give me to better my hospital stay or first few days home?

Today I had my last GHP visit (my last pre-op appt) I have survived my 1st week of low cal high pro diet...lol
As I am getting ready for this surgery I am happy that my health can change for the better in so many ways.  I sure will miss my kids while in the hospital they have only been away from me for a weekend once in life.  Missing getting to play, cuddle, read a book and kiss them good night.  It will be tough as well as not seeing them all day.  Hopefully this time flies by with no issues for them and I.  I had to buy my liquids for after surgery hopefully I made good choices!! There are a few things I picked for this two weeks that I wish I hadn't that's for sure...

I had my 2 week pre-op appts (6 hours) today got to meet the rest of the staff today.  Picked out all my food for the next 13 days and am ready to go! I think.... I went outside my bubble and talked to a couple girls that are having surgery the same day with different surgeons at the same hospital.  I told them we will see each other in passing when we are walking our laps!! I'm ready!
