    Thank you! That was before any weight loss. I have to take another one once I drop some more lbs.

    Thank you Edubb! That pic was actually taken a few weeks before I was sleeved. I'll update with a post sleeve pic soon. Maybe after my one month post op visit.

    You're welcome. Dr T is and staff are great right? About the shakes I flat out told the NUT that I would not drink them anymore. I used to gag on them and spent so much money trying different ones. She lets me substitute 3 glasses of skim milk a day for the shakes. Which is like 24G of protein and it counts for fluid intake.

    Thanks for your note! I am doing very well...recovery is going great and so far I'm having no issues with any foods or drink- so I am really happy. Hope things are going well with you!
  11. Thanks to all for my well wishes. Surgery went surprisingly well today. We'll see what the next few days are like-seems like those are the hardest!
    Happy that it's done and I'm on the sleeved side.

I lost a whole Abby---with pic

by edubb99 on 10-12-2014 at 08:17 PM
The last post I talked about "losing a whole Abby". My 15 year old niece, Abby weighs 94 lbs and a couple weeks ago I lost her entire body weight (from my highest weight). Today, we took a picture to mark the event. She's a bit excited for just getting her braces off too.
Sad to think I carried around the equalivent of a small teenager for years---amazed at the power of the sleeve more and more as time goes by.

Milestones

by edubb99 on 10-03-2014 at 10:58 PM
I hit my 6 month mark on 9/27. But another milestone is losing a total of 95 lbs since my heaviest weight. I've been waiting to lose at least 94...my niece weighs 94lbs, and she's 15 (she's vertically challenged at 4'11"). The ongoing conversation in our family has been, "Have you lost a whole Abby yet?" I can say that I have now. When I see her again, we will be taking a pic of me carrying her - sad to think I carried all that around for so long.
But it's bittersweet

The dreaded plane seat!!!

by edubb99 on 09-17-2014 at 06:29 PM
So today I had to travel for work--which only happens once a year if I'm lucky. It's usually a longer flight with a connecting...all the things that make the weight-conscious nervous. Today was my first trip since surgery and I was more nervous than times before ONLY because I wanted to see how I fit in the seat. Much to my surprise---I was either a) a lot bigger than I thought or b) I'm a lot smaller than I think now. B cuz I fit just fine----with room to spare!!! I was shocked. Needless to say,

Perspective

by edubb99 on 09-11-2014 at 05:06 PM
I am quite the fashionista. And being 278 lbs didn't hinder that. Granted options were limited, but I still looked good! Well I have held onto my "fashion fat faves" as I've gone down 5 sizes...I have a raging fear of the weight coming back and being a FAILURE.
A close friend's daughter received the great news of her 1st professional job and was in need of some fashionable plus-size attire. Another friend asked if I had gotten rid of my old clothes and I told her I was afraid to...she
