I'm sharing my journey here, if you'd like to join in feel free, if you'd like to judge move on please. My life is being reinvented at 65 this is the year I'm having Gastric Bypass Surgery. Such a leap, such a change, such a chance.

If you're looking for a crafty creative blog I have several of those and the links are in the sidebar below. I'd love your comments and your support but if you feel you need to humiliate or criticize me please just move on and leave me in peace to climb my mountains and battle my demons by myself.

A Better Day!

There are no wrong turns, 
Only unexpected paths

OK today I can honestly say I feel better!  No nausea today, feel a tad more umph and the most important thing is I'm down 2 pounds, finally I think my stall is over!!!  I took a selfie today just so you could see I have a smile on my face again. I do not care to repeat any of my past performances! But, they are the part of the learning process just as measuring food or choosing the right options of what I put in my mouth.  
This top is one I haven't had on in eons and it doesn't ride up on the hips.  The jeans are a size smaller than when I started the process.  Pretty good feeling let me tell you.  So this makes 32 pounds on my scales.  It's more on Dr. Speakman's about 4 pounds additional. But since I weigh myself (way more than I should :-)  on my home scales that's what my numbers are based on.

While I'm here I want to say again I love the website Bariatric Pal, it has just given me so much information and reassured me when I had doubts.  This is a great resource tool for anyone contemplating or who has already had surgery.

    Patti, what a pretty picture! So nice to see that big smile on your face. Glad the sickies have finally left and the scale moved for you.

    Patti - you look fabulous - your face so pretty and glowing. I really think (for now - because it is going to get better) that this picture should be your profile pic!
    You look 10, nay 20 years younger already!

    Patti, You are amazing! This is not only transforming your shape, but you look so much younger! Wow! Keep up the good work and when you hit those plateaus, just remember that sometimes the body has to catch up to the changes in weight loss. The scale may not show you're going down, but your clothes will! Your body will shift, so try not to get discouraged. You are doing fantastic!!!!
