A WOW, a YUK, and an OMG!

WOW-My neighbor said I'm the talk of the cul-de-sac.  He said he has never seen such a transformation.  The lady at the end of the street saw my husband and me taking a walk the other day and said "is that you?"  She said she honestly thought my husband had a new girlfriend.  Everyone keeps saying I look nothing like I did.  It all gave me goosebumps!!!
YUK-what's up with all the yeast infections?  I've had one almost every month (2 weeks before my visitor) since my surgery...is there a connection?  Is my immune system down or something?  This may be TMI, but my husband has been on an antibiotic for months, can you get it from your partner being on antibiotics?
OMG-I posted my Christmas pictures my husband took (the last two of all my before and fter pics).  I honestly can't believe how I loo****ep feeling myself up...LOL...wondering if it is me.  I'm down 92 lbs. and into the 160's.  I honestly don't want to hit goal because this is such a fun ride!!!  Sounds weird huh?  Also, I've always been good at losing, I've never been good at maintaining so I'm scared.
Just wanted to share my WOW, YUK, and OMG with all of you!!!  Hope all of you had a wonderful holiday!

WOW!!!! You look absolutely amazing Michele!! Did you ever think you would be laying in the floor on  your stomach? I just can't imagine being able to do that lol!
Congratulations!!! You're a great inspiration to us pre ops! Keep the pics coming

Thanks Pam
You make such a good point...I could never lay on my stomach before because I always felt like I was going to suffocate and my tummy was so big my head, arms and legs never touched the floor!!!   LOL

I can totally relate Michele.. our UPS man thought I was Dean's girlfriend too.  LOL  It was hilarous to see his face!!  

Oh I can feel your joy!!!  This truly IS an amazing ride and I can imagine how it must feel, getting so close to goal.  I keep telling myself I will have a different goal by then - - body sculpting or something. 

You look fabulous! 

Getting on the floor, much less lying on your stomach,  is like life on another planet, isn't it? 

hugs,

Cindy

Wow is right! You look amazing and I'm so glad that you are getting the confirmation that this is so... especially after the difficulty you had over the holidays. You do look fabulous!

OMGoodness, I really do understand what you mean about being able to lose and being scared of the maintenance part of this incredible journey. I honestly think that the losing part is easier than the mainenance part, but I also think that if we hang in and continue to support one-another as we learn to maintain the incredible loses and gains we've achieved that we will make it ... together. There have been studies that show that those *****main active with support groups are three times more likely to be successful.

 

You look fantastic!  Just can't figure out where you will lose another 30 lbs from?

Keep up the great work.

I'm curious about the yeast infections, as well. it has to be somethign to do with the diet, that's my only explainantion! I'm 3 months out and just got over my 4th since surgery! grrr! My surgeon is getting so used to me calling and begging for diflucan! if you find out anything, let me know!

I go on the 19th so I'll let you know what they have to say!
