Its amazing how life changes post sleeve. Prior to the sleeve and the 30 pounds I have lost so far getting dressed and ready to leave was always such a chore. I had to have the perfect out fit with matching jewelry and my make up oh my goodness could make a girl late for everything. I had to be perfect to hide my puffy bloated double chin face. I foolishly thought if I made myself fancy no one would notice how large or miserable I was. Well I am sitting in a local pub waiting for my also sleeved

Wow its official I am in the final 10 days before crossing over I am so peaceful about the end of the waiting period and the beginning of my health! Soooo I have decided every day of my countdown I would share my top things I have learned on this forum

Patience has never been a gift of mine-so exactly 2 weeks ago today I had my final 6th month visit and I just needed to wait for my insurance approval-so like a maniac everytime my phone rings I have been breaking my neck to make sure I wasn't missing my surgeons office call.

We all have a story of what got us to where we are. My story is simply a poor relationship with food my whole life never understanding how to use it for the right purpose. So as life went on the monsters that frighten little ones that hide under the bed and makes them unable to sleep literally turned into cookies under my bed that made me unable to sleep.

The other day I was in my local grocery store with my 19 year old son and my always slim best friend. I saw a cashier who just broke my heart that I could immediately empathize with. She was a very large woman so large in fact her stomach rested on the counter she was standing at to ring in groceries.
