Topic: Anyone else taller?
I've been noticing the last few weeks that I've been feeling taller. And then in some of the profiles I've read, people have commented that they grew a 1/2" or an inch post-op.
This morning, I decided to measure myself. I'm nearly 2" taller than I was pre-op! When he wakes up, I'm gonna have my hubby remeasure me to make sure I didn't skew anything, but I'm stunned.
Anyway, my new found height has lower my BMI by 2.2! I'm just stunned. I guess this is even better than being on a stall and losing inches!
Blessings,
Jennifer

Topic: RE: Question - Cramps
Hi
Although you should see you doctor first, if it is just cramps then I heartily recommend ThermaCare heat pads. I get quite horrible pain (always have done) and miss advil. Tylenol never works. However, the pads really do the trick. I've been known to put one on my front, one on my back and then sit with a blissful expression on my face as the heat seeps through. They last for eight hours but the effect seems to last longer.
Good luck & congrats on the weight loss...

Congratulations everybody. We're all doing so well...
I had my surgery on 10th November and I hit 80 lb down today. I keep expecting another stall before I get to onederland but I have my fingers crossed...
Keep up the good work!

Lost 56 lbs and recently broke a stall. Lost a lot of inches and sizes though. Not to happy with weighing in next week with the doc, he thinks I'm losing too slow. 
At least it's going!

Hi everyone. Since 11/7/05 I have lost 67 lbs, feeling great, actually have 2 new sweaters in Misses' size 
(XL but Misses!), and, for all you diabetics, my HbA1C at 3 months was 5.5% (was 8.6 in Sep and 9.5 in Jun) and my insulin dose has gone down 85%.

Hey!
Since 11/7 I've lost about 44 lbs, 7 BMI points, 4 sizes, almost 40% of my excess weight, and about 15 inches (hips, thighs, waist...I already know I lost too much to count in the bust so I don't measure, it depresses me).
I realize I am going slower than most, but I'm (usually) ok with that. I feel so much better and that's what matters most.
