2012 - I had Vertical Sleeve Gastric Surgery in October 2012, and this is my journey to push the fat girl aside and start living life without fear of lawn chairs, the middle seat, clothing shops and high heels. Among other things.

2017 - I'm preop for the Duodenal Switch procedure for my sleeve to help me get to goal weight....and to fix another hiatal hernia.

Fraking WOW!!!! I AM SO HAPPY!  Here is the graph. I had some major up and downs, but as I keep going I'm learning to take them for what they are - reminders to drink more water and eat better foods!
















I hit a big milestone this month - losing 45lbs.  People at work are starting to really take note and a few of them are asking me about it.  Which can get uncomfortable, but I tell them all the same stuff.
  1.  stop drinking with your meals
  2.  measure everything you eat
  3.  count your calories
  4.  get moving
  5.  drink more water
It's all the stuff that I'm doing, without me disclosing that I have had surgical assistance with portion sizes.

I am nearly out of my plus sized cloths for good. Today I bought a dress today at J.Jill in XL and there was room in it.  It was NOT stretched to its maximum structural capacity that bordered on obscene.  This dress actually fits and looks great.  I will get some spanxy-things to help with the lumpies, but I'm really pleased and feeling even... *gasp* inspired.  

I keep saying that I'm going to get on my bike in the mornings and this has NOT happened yet.  February is my month. Its going to happen.

  2. I love the idea of a piece of clothing not being "stretched to its maximum structural capacity"!! I totally know what you mean. :-)

    Congrats on the 47+ loss! Will keep positive thoughts about the morning biking...

    1. Yes, biking has not happened, but I've been doing home stuff and laying a new brick back patio this weekend...so I'm thinking that is enough exercise for me - hauging placing brick, pushing sand and gravel around. I'm beat!!
