Nervous...two week follow-up and weighin today.

Well today is the day...I haven't stepped near a scale since I left the hospital two weeks and three days ago.  I am nervous about seeing the scale again and how well or not so well I have done.  Crazy I know, my clothes are getting baggy and people say all the time that my face has slimmed way down but I still hate the fact that I allow that darn scale to be the only thing that matters.  I'm sure this will change with time...

I do have a list of questions for Dr. G, and one I wanted to ask you all about.  I love ice cold drinks, but for some reason I still get little pains, etc when drinking cold beverages.  Please tell me this is not a permanent thing??  You see I am originally from Tucson, AZ. and am very accustom to my Iced Teas, etc.  So, I am hoping this is something that will pass with time.  Anyway I just wanted to let you guys know that I would be weighing in today and hoping for the best.  I am also about 95% certain that I will be meeting so many of you in Tulsa on Friday at 6:30...I can hardly wait!!  I will post hopefully great results when I get home this evening...wish me luck!!

You're going to be doing fine.  And we look forward to meeting you, too.  I had an aha moment yesterday.  I actually can go up the ladder to my attic !!  I'm under the 250 weight limit restriction !  That passed and I didn't even realize it    :- 0

You go girl!!  Lovin the AHA Moments, I truly cannot wait to have those myself.

No matter the results on the scales you are on the right path!  No matter what the number, just remember that those are pounds that are gone forever!!!

Can't wait to hear so keep us posted!  I'm really hoping you meet us for dinner.  Do you need a place to stay in Tulsa?

You will be amazed at how much you lost! On the cold drink thinhg it did get better for me.  I freeze most of my crystal light to slushies and so just fine now. At first it was the same for me, I had to drink most things at room temp.

Good luck on the weigh-in!! You will do great!! On the cold drinks issue, I am one of those (and I am sure this is more uncommon than not) that cannot drin**** cold drinks, because little stomach doesn't like it. Even to this day, seven months later, I drink water with no ice! I hope that changes for you, and I think most people do get over this. Don't know why I didn't!!

Looking forward to meeting you in Tulsa..

Lots of luck!  Let us know what you find out!
I guess the drink thing won't bother me.  For some reason I like drinks at room temp unless its the middle of summer and I'm really hot!  But it would be bad if you like your drinks really cold!  Maybe it will pass!
What is Friday at 6:30?  I might want to go if its for everyone????

For the first month or so tiny tummy wasn't so fond of cold drinks especially early in the day.  Now, I can drink cold bit still can't chug a bunch at once.  Warm goes down much faster for me still.  I live for my afternoon decaf when I get home from teaching.

No matter what the scale shows you know you are healthier than you have been.  The weight will come off. 

Look forward to seeing you next week!

The scale is the demon when it comes to WLS so what I do is just ignore the thing.... I do not even own one and nor will I ever. I feel that my body knows its losing and thats what matters....inches to me matter more....
You are doing great  and dont let the scale tell ya different

Okay Michelle, What is the verdict? Inquiring minds want to know. I'm sorry I will miss you in Tulsa. I have to work that day. Oh well, duty calls. Take it easy, Rita
