Thanks Anna- I appreciate it.
Glad your swelling is going down and hope the infection responds better to the new antibiotics!!!
Can't wait to see some more pics!!!

R U kidding me- angels?  UGH!!!  I think I was one of the few moms who didn't cry on the first day of Kindergarten.  WOW- what a relief- 3 hours each day to myself- HEAVEN!!!
Thanks for the compliments.  I have really wavy hair and I do straighten it now- but I don't mind- it takes a few seconds cuz there's so much less of it.  It looks better when I blow dry it- but I only do that on occasion.  My husband was shocked when I came home.  I just had to do it- I was putting my hair in a pony every day and I was actually getting hair loss on the upper corners of my forehead.  When I told the haircutter-lady to cut it- she said- wow-we could do locks of love if you went this short.  It wasn't what I planned- but I love it anyways.  It's grown out quite a bit.
Thanks-
Holly

Hi ladies, I am really late in posting.  I went to the ps yesterday so he could check out my belly button infection.  It's finally resolving and he put me on another antibiotic.  Hopefully it will do the trick.  I am not as swollen.  The week before I was at 145.2.  Here are my stats this week.  Sorry I didn't get to weigh yesterday so my weight is for today.

I am so so hoping with this ps I can get to at least my docs new goal for me of 135.  Oh and yesterday while I was in Fairfax I went and tried on jeans.  Size 4 ladies.  Still a little tight with the swelling but at least I am back in my 6's from pre-op.

Hey Holly - I have something for you, but it's not allowing me to paste it here. Can I have your email address and I'll send it to you through email? It's a side by side pic of you, before and after. It's amazing.

Good Morning Everyone - I'm a day later too, story of my life!!

138 is little Suz, you're tall too, bet you look like a model!! You hottie. Now, how do we fatten you up? Lol and j/k.

I'm still bouncing between 121-123. I haven't seen 120 in awhile. That's a # in my head that I wanted to get too, but I guess it's not happening. I don't want to eat less either, I'm just happy that the amount and type of food I'm eating isn't making me gain. I don't eat junk, but I don't deprive myself and I am not starving either, I always feel satisfied. I ate  a slice of pizza on Saturday w/ a salad. I felt guilty all evening and knew for sure I gained two lbs. To my surprise I didn't gain at all. I know it's all in my head, one slice of pizza occasionally isn't going to make you gain weight, but 4 like I used to eat (sometimes 5) is what will get you in trouble. It's nice to know that I don't have to deprive myself, it's all about portion control. I'm just afraid of the slipperly slope. Like today I eat one slice and don't gain, why don't I try 2? And so on. Although, I don't think I could eat much more than a slice, greasy food doesn't sit well with me. We went to Great Wolf Lodge over the weekend. I posted a couple of pics (not of me in my suit) I'm not that confident yet. Although, I loved the suit and felt good wearing it. I don't want a pic of me in it though, I am too critical of myself.

Here are my #'s
