I'm So Excited!!!
I am so excited right now, but I'm just glowing all over. I feel so bless with this surgery. I have lost a whole person; I have another person to lost (weight). Today, I weighing 252, and loving it, I can't wait until the scale say 160. Question: How do you deal with all the compliments? At my heaviest, 382, I hated myself, I hated the way I look. People didn't give me compliments, or even notice me. Everyday, somebody is telling me how beautiful I look. I am starting to feel it inside, which is showing on the outside. I have a new walk, I have a new DIVA attitude; I have a new look on life, I care how I look know. I remember when I was heavy, I didn't care what I look like when I when outside. I enjoy looking in the mirror; I am in the process of getting mirrors installed in my home. I have somthing to smile about now! YOu can tell by new picture.
I can understand how you feel. Last week, here at work, one of the field crew, (construction), made the comment that I was turning into a real 'hottie'. My husband agreed. I just didn't know how to answer that, so I just said 'thank you' and left it at that. My hubby got a big hug, a Delmonico Steak dinner and apple strudel for dessert. He's my biggest fan. I"m nearly into a 14 now, and feeling wonderful. You keep going the way you are, and you'll be at your goal before you know it.

Way to go Tb!! You are just beautiful and yes, you are glowing!!
This surgery is soooo amazing. I was just like you, I did not care what I looked like, I had given up. Never did my make up, would blow-dry my hair, but never bother to style it. Now I love getting dressed and SHOPPING!! Yet, the compliments ARE hard to take sometimes. People are very complimentary, but I feel funny when they look at me. Its all a learning process, I guess
Keep that smile on your face!! Kimberly
