Thanks! It means the world to me that people are actually saying I look good in it. Never in a gazillion years did I ever think I'd wear one and be happy in it. And let someone take pics of me in it? HELL no. But now it's starting to feel ok. I've got a long way to go though.
Thanks again !

Thank you Kindle... I really appreciate it. I am only at the beginning of my battle but seeing you is pure motivation.

Thanks for your message. You will get there, too. Really, it's just a matter of following the basic rules and you will succeed (no matter what the scale says at times). If you've read my blog, you can see I've passed goal and feel fabulous. But it wasn't without cravings and hunger and nausea and stalls and gains and diarrhea and constipation and several other "mini battles". But all those things are minor in the big scheme of things and well worth the results. Good luck!

Thank you!

Thank you so much!

Thinking of you today and sending you well wishes

Well congrats to you also and good luck! Keep us all posted! And thank you so much!

Good luck on your surgery tomorrow! On monday, I will be joining you as a sleever! Can't wait!

Thank you so much! I'll keep you posted! And you keep me posted as well!

I have never taken a photo from the boobs down! Ever! I am so ready to gain some confidence! I want to be in front of the camera instead of behind it. I always find ways to hide myself behind other people or be non existent in family pictures. I don't want to do that anymore. I want to feel good inside and out. This is a long time coming.

Good luck tomorrow!

Thank you so much! It is crazy the confidence I have now when someone wants to take a picture, and crazy to see me, the me that was hiding in there somewhere. =)

Hi Teresa,
Yes tomorrow is the big day. So many emotions but I think excitement wins overall.
My preop diet has not been bad at all. Only 5 days of liquids and purees. Ive eaten a lot of soups, lentils, protein shakes and I juice a lot. I lost 5 lbs in 5 days. Ill definitely be posting everything as I go along on my journey. I like reading details so anything I do to help I will.

So you are having your surgery tomorrow, 7/10/14? I wish you a speedy recovery and PLEASE keep me posted...my surgery is 1 week from today...7/16/14...How has your pre op diet been? What has it consisted of? Peace and God Bless...Teresa
