Lately, I've been hanging new curtains, but not doing any odd stretching or anything, cleaning off my porch, putting stuff away (finally) and yesterday, I noticed a very little twinge around my old GBS incision areas (one of them in particular).  It kind of reminds me of the days when I had adhesions, but they're on the surface, not deep inside kind of pains, and I would think that I'm so far past scar tissue building, that I wonder if it's just my skin tightening up and doing it's thing.  I can set here at  my desk and all of a sudden, I'll feel that little twinge or feeling of tension.  Not sure how to describe it.  I'd like to think it's just my skin shrinking back to it's normal state?

Since surgery, July 22nd, I've lost 80 lbs and 112 in the past  year.

Anyone else having these issues or slight pains, maybe feelings of skin tightening?  Can you feel this happening or I wonder if it's something bad going on.  Dang, I hope not, but I don't feel bad.... KWIM

Luv & HUGS

I feel you girl.  I was 347 the day of my surgery and I'm 274 today (I'm waiting to see what the surgeon's scale says tomorrow) and somedays it is frustrating.  I feel like I am losing soo much slower than everybody else.  One day I'm like "this sucks" the next day I'm like "wow I can't believe I am in the 270's, this is so great!!"

One thing that helped: someone suggested taking pictures of yourself to upload on here.  I did that and everytime I look at them I can't believe it's me.  It really helped.  Do i still wish I were down 100 already.  YES.  But we will get there.  Just think of it this way, we are giving our skin a chance to catch up to us. 

The only other suggestion i have is to hire georgiapeach to come and cook for us!!!

I have tried soda, and for me I will never do it again. it causes me way to much pain as it expands your stomach out. I can't say i still dont have the habit of buying it becasue I do, and not sure why becasue it sits in my house and goes out dated and then i throw it out.
