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.

Update

This is a poor cousin to my usual post, but the rigors of regular life are heavy right now and blogging is taking a beating. 

I've had a lot of time in the 230's (9 months?!), but I've been back on track and happy to see 235 again. 



Things I'm doing right:
Less snacking
More protein
Working out regularly (weights)
Bringing my lunch
Eating more at home
Not stuffing myself when we eat out

Thing I'm not getting right:
Drinking enough water
Getting enough sleep
Doing any cardio
Too much sugar

Work:
I'm deeply Unhappy, but I'm solving that
Went back to school for a certification class and am in the middle of that.
Interviewed a lot over the last few months, but in the end I turned down a number of lateral move positions
Had an internal move interview last week that is promising
Potentially going back to finish my BA

So all in all, I'm making life and weight progress. And that's what it's about.

Battery died

Welp, the daily weigh ins (that I haven't been posting....lazy, sorry) finally killed the scales battery.

So I couldn't weigh in this morning!! 

Oct 15, 2012 to Nov 14, 2014.

2 years and a month, not too shabby. 

Replaced it today and the weigh ins continue tomorrow morning.
