1 month

Ok went and weighed in with my pcp this morning. Drum roll lol I am down 40 pounds in 1 month! The only thing I can actually see where I have lost weight is in my ankles and my fingers. My aunt says she can tell in my face. I actually crossed my leg and rested my ankle on my knee the other day and totally flipped out because it didn't hurt. I started laughing and my aunt thought I was nuts. But it was a good feeling. Michelle 361/321/160

Congradulations Michelle!!! That's such an awesome feeling to cross your legs again. Keep up the great work!!!! Giovanna 250/200/120

That is sooo awesome!! your doing a great job.. Oh and disregard my post in your other thread wondering how your appointment came out.. I'm blind and didnt see this one DIRECTLY under it.lol

Wow, 40 pounds is terrific! I can totally relate to the leg crossing. Terry

Hi Michelle, 40# is awesome!!!! Isn't the leg crossing too cool. I used to see all the "skinny girls" doing it and was jealous- ha ha. I love those nsv more than the scales. Julie

Michelle WOW i am so happy for you!!! I know you had Dr.Fred do your surgery. I to will have Dr.Fred on March/22 it was the 18 but somethings came up so we had to change it to my LUCKY #22. I cant waite to be where your at now. By the way how are you feeling? How did you feel the day after the surgery? I really am so happy for you. You take care. CHER

Dr fred is AWESOMW! The day after surgery wasn't too bad. I wasn't in a lot of pain. Just very tired from the anesthetic (sp?) Did my walking and my swallow test. Overall, I felt ok. Now I feel good. I am starting to see the differences in my body. I am still on full liquids, going to puree in a week. But, damn, I feel pretty good. You will be awesome yourself soon. Michelle

Wooooo hoooooooo Michelle! That's awesome! Isn't it neat to cross your legs again? I have to sit that way now 'cause I have no padding left on my tusharino. Keep up the awesome work! Hope to see you if we all get together Cathy
