Splish Splash I was taking my bath...

I'm slowing losing my weight and have noticed little changes.... tonight it was when I was taking my bubble bath.... before when I took my bubble bath my hips used to block the water and I felt like I was wedged in the tub... tonight I had PLENTY of room!  Unbelieveable!  It's amazing the little changes and little things that we notice, huh?! My question is what changes have you guys noticed  since your weight loss?

I can cross my legs and be totally comfortable and not hold one side to keep it from slipping!!! I love crossing my legs now!!! All my clothes dont fit me and its not becuse I've gained weight!!! I sleep better and I dont sweat like I used too!!! Congrats on your bath accomlishment!!!! Woohooo  Anna keep it up!!!!

Hey Jill, love the picture, you are looking great!!
I can't wait til I can cross my legs and not hold one!  LOL 

You are doing awesome!  keep it up. 

Hey Monica! thank you for the compliment. They are still very hard for me to accept and I am working on that one!  You to keep up the good work Monica!!!  How was the gym with your son? Do you like the gym? Did you go to the get together this weekend? I was not able to attend, but hopefully one of these days I will.  Did you see the surgeon yet (cant remember the date when you were going) Did you get your 3 month labs done? Hope all is well!!!

Hey Jill, I know what you mean about the compliments...I find them hard to accept too.   I have to learn to just say thank you!  lol  not easy for me, but I am working on it.

The gym is going great.  Jacob and I didn't go this weekend together because he's at his dad's house.  I love going and I really feel SO good afterwards too. 

The get together isn't until next Saturday...the 21st and I won't miss this one for anything!  lol  I wish you could make it! 
I go back to the Dr on July 1st...I will have my labs drawn the week before and we'll go over the results then.  What ever vitamin it is that deals with bruising...I think I am low on.  I have noticed a lot of bruising lately.  We shall see!

Thanks Jill!  You look GREAT!  It looks like we had our surgeries around the same time!   How are you losing your weight so fast?  I'm only down 40 pounds so far...  tell me your secrects!

Hi Anna! You are doing great too!! It looks like you had your surgery almost a month after mine. I am SO suprised on my weight loss! I workout 3X a week doing water aerobics and I have a 2 year old to chase after ALL day! I eat 3 meals a day with maybe a snack or to and eating a snack is very rare. My meals are still very small and I weigh out everything. 2 oz. protein 2 oz veggie. Sometimes I may take 3 oz of a protein and no veggie. It just depends. Its hard to get all that protein in isn't it? I also have stayed away from all the "old" foods that I used to love. I make smart healthy choices and I plan ahead if I go out to eat. I am just afraid of once my appetite comes back how I am going to feel about food!!! UGH.... But Anna dont compare yourself to others becasue we all go at our own pace and think of the 40 lbs you have lost so far!!! OMG 40 lbs is amazing and you must be feeling pretty good!! Keep it up Annna!!! How have you been feeling since your surgery? How do you feel emotionally? Take care and talk soon! Jill 

Jill you're so sweet!!   I've felt GREAT since the surgery. I almost feel like I didn't have it, does that make sense?  I have so much more energy, and I can't believe my back hasn't hurt for over 2 months!!!  That's a record for me!!!!  I don't walk around like a weeble and I don't get as winded going up and down the stairs!!  YEAH! I know 40 pounds is great and I shouldn't compare, but it's hard!   Emotionally, I am great!  I have no regrets!  I just keep thinking a year from now I'll be where I want, and that makes me happy!   I wish I lived closer to you guys (seems most of the people on this board are from Northern IL)... You are a great support system!

I have way more energy already and my clothes are getting baggier.  I don't need naps anymore either, I am on the go all the time. 

Congrats on the bath thing Anna, that is awesome!!!  Keep up the great work!

Hey ya'll! Sorry I haven't posted in awhile. Love the weather here, compared to Alaska and we've been out enjoying it. I love hearing about everyone's firsts! Crossing my legs was a huge one for me too. Oh and the bath? Most definately!! Just wait Anna, until the NSV's start coming faster than you thought. I am so proud of you!!! Last night we went to Prairie Fest in Oswego. I use to dread going cuz the kids wanted me to go on the rides with them and I was just too big and embarrassed. Welll....... I went on the Tilt A Whirl TWICE!!!! It's been over 15 years since I've been on my most favorite ride of the fair. And my BFF's and our kids went on the swings too! I finally fit again. I got my exercise in, walking 5 hours without pain or getting out of breath and drank my protein/water while we were checking things out. Needless to say I am so happy I made the decision for WLS. Even just doing those two things with my BFF's and girls has made me feel like I am on top of the world. Have a Great week everyone! And Happy Father's Day to all those Dad's out there!!!!
