Puting myself out there....

Yikes!  I feel like I just entered a glass house.....I'm feeling very vulnerable but feel like it's the right step for my progress.

Support?

thanks sweetie!

Can't wait til you change your FLGail status to AZGail 

I hope you're going to be alright....you've pretty much been my stone...crutch....my 'all-seeing-lady' through this ordeal, I hope this is nothing that you can't handle.  ::Did that come out right?::  Well.....you know what I mean. 
Hugs,

Kellyn

Kellyn,
I do know what you mean sweet friend! 

....wishing nothing but the best ahead for you!!! 

Good for you.

It's not a glass house but an umbrella.  By that I mean you can be touched, hugged etc. while going through this process.

I will be following your progress as I plan on surgery in about 1 year.  I'm only 11 months out and have dropped 154 lbs.

Mike

154 lbs!!!!  Wooooo Hooooooo Mike!!!  Another year and you'll be thrilled to throw some of that loose skin away!!!

My consultation is tomorrow afternoon!  .....  I woke up today with a major case of the NERVES!!!!  I'm not only going to be checked out completely but.......I'll be neked in front of my BOSS!!!!  Tomorrow may reach my all time high moments of trauma!!!!!  I'll need therapy by Friday!  LOL!

Thanks for your kind post Mike!  Congrats on your success and best wishes for a happy journey as a LOSER 

Today's blog: 

Sitting here typing and looking at my large muffin hanging over my abdoman. I wonder what it would be like to bend forward and see the point that the legs actually begin to cross?

tomorrow is my actual consult with my very own plastic surgeon.....MY BOSS!!!!  If surgery scares the bejeebies out of me then going naked in front of my own boss is a very very close 2nd!   I may need therapy after it's all over with.....heck, HE may need therapy after it's all over with!

Someone at support group last night mentioned that they thought my boss was HOT!!!!  What??!!!  Now I had to think about that possibility for a nano second before I calmed myself down and got him back where he belongs in my mind as a distinguished, artist with amazing integrity and skill!  There, that's better!..........he's an artist,  with skill and that's what this is all about!  Finding the best artist for this blob of clay!!!  I'm confident (she says tongue & cheek) that he will sculpt my body into a spectacular female form that will be splendid beyond all imagination!  OK, so "tight & curvy" will definitely be enough and make the inevitable pain and current stress very worth it!

So, I will watch a re-run of the Biggest Loser tonight and remind myself that history is about to be changed.....an old squishy blonde can and will be transformed with some Mazaheri Magic, skill, persuasion..... and a whole lot of "happy" meds with a chaser of pure milk chocolate!!!!  ....  Less than 24 hrs.......
