I agree, be great to Lose the 3xl's, the pain ( knees,hips, and back). I haven't broken anything in a long time and remember well the mortification I felt.... Now they help me decide where to sit.... Ha...ha. Good luck on your journey......
I get what you are saying about your 6 year old. Good for you for doing this for your child and you! Image how cool it will be to join in on everything! How great will that be?!?

As we are having our surgeries I feel it would be helpful to try to check in and let us know how you are doing. We are all in this together. Please be honest, no matter how bad it is. We are here to support one another.
I, for one, am concerned for the ones who have had their surgeries. How are you?

I love this post! I want to be comfortable in my clothes and be able to shop in the "normal" section. I hate that my 6 year old has to say, I know you can't do this or that mommy it's okay. Because you know what...it's not okay!
I'm working on a new me!
Hi Sooz,
Great idea to wean now! Glad it is going better!
I'm kinda worried about the 2 who had their surgeries on the 6th and 7th! Not a peep out of them

Hello everyone, since this is the month of almost impossible pre-surgery diets for some and eventually the pain and difficult post-surgery for all, I thought it would be a great time to talk about the horrors we have experienced being overweight (that will be in the past) and the glories of the days as we near our goal weights.
I'll start. I can't wait to be done with xxxl shopping! The variety of clothes that size are not attractive! I don't know why designers think we love the hidious fabrics most of the shirts come in! I can't wait to wear jeans again!!! I have also been responsible for breaking 3 toilet seats and 1 recliner. I am careful not to lean over when sitting! I also love the way people see me coming and move out of my way when they are not in my way...
On the flip side, I can't wait to feel comfortable in my clothes, be more active, as I have a bulging disc from an accident 4 years ago and a bruised tailbone, I can't wait for the weight to come off so I won't be on as much pain! Oh...and the darn Cpap! How many of you have those? Can you even imagine what it will be like to sleep without that thing? To check into a hotel and NOT have to lug that thing around and set it up? HEAVEN!!
OK, I started, now It is your turn

Hi Ellen!
Don't feel guilty about your pre-op diet! I think we both have it better than many who are required a liquid diet. I am feeling satisfied on my low carb plan because I can have some rich protein-y things. The caffeine weaning is going much better than the cold turkey plan I was on. I will need to be caffeine free at least 4 weeks post-op so thought I'd start early.
Good luck with the camping trip!

Hope all went well! Can't wait for you to check back in! Good luck, Ellen
I went out with a bang too! I had a 'last supper' celebration then had my last DQ Blizzard! Yum! Missing that ice cream!
