Happy Day!!!
I was 47 on my day of surgery. Pre-diabetic, High Blood Pressure AND Crohn's Disease! Although my Crohn's has never been what I would call severe, marked mostly by diarrhea, and severe spasms from...
Thank you, Jen! Glad I could inspire you. Best to you on your journey....and no snorkeling 1 week postop; you put yourself at a risk for infection on your incisions. (Can't help myself, I work for an...
Walk, sip and follow your surgeons guidelines. Don't push it to try to get to the next stage of foods...you'll get there eventually. Discipline was the biggest factor in my success. At just over one...
So my trip to the Netherlands was AMAZING! Traveling half my size was so much easier...nice to be able to sit comfortably, no seat belt extender and really had no issues with jet lag, even. Not sure...
Thank you!! This new life is soooo good! Best to you on your journey!!
Thank you! I appreciate your kind words!
:) Thanks Kiwi Lisa! I appreciate your encouragement!
Thank you!!! The journey is not easy....but it is SO worth it! I appreciate your kind words. Best to you!
LOL, thanks, Christie! You're sweet! I visited the Netherlands back in 2017...but had an extra 100# so I do fear I'm going to be cold. Their weather is actually pretty similar to where I live, here...
Thank you Cyndi!
Thanks Ann! I appreciate your support ;)
Thank you! You are sweet!
LOL, I'm sure there's lots of good things in the Netherlands, Dutchie I just have some specific snacks I like so I may as well pack them. These will also be handy to have on the plane. I am excited...
Thank you! It's funny that at the start of this I didn't even realize I could lose 150....I just knew I needed to lose. Thanks for your encouragement!
You're welcome, Bella!! And thank you!!! Best to you on your journey!!
Well, my actual one-year is next week but both me and my surgeon will be out of town so I had my visit this week on 5/1/19...6 days early. I have lost 151# from highest and 115# in the last 359...

I drink Premier mostly. But I do also like the "Nectar" fruit flavored powders from Syntrax. You can get a sample pack of these online and through Amazon. I also liked the taste of Muscle Milk Light...
Great job!! Congrats!!!
Congrats on your success!!
Thank you all for your kind words of encouragement. That is the one thing I had no idea I would experience is the change in my overall mood. I have such a positive outlook and really feel great...
Thank you, Grammy! I look forward to meeting you. You're closing in on your big day. Remember, nervous is normal. ;)
At 9 mos and 2 days post op I hit my surgeon's goal of 170lbs. I have never really been tied to the number on the scale, but I have to admit it feels good to accomplish the task. I have experienced...
Thanks Christie - more great advice! I appreciate it very much. There's something so reassuring about knowing others have been there and the direction they are willing to offer. This community is so...
