Ok....as of today I have lost 32lbs...not bad. I am just trying to figure out where in the heck is it comin off at. I tried on a pair of jeans that I hadnt been able to wear in a while. I can get them up and but can fasten with ease, but it was like this before surgery...hmmmm. I mean, it looks like I can see it in different places, but the clothes are not showing it, I am puzzled. I guess I just needed to rant for a sec, figured it was my turn....lol. I must not be losing anything on bottom half then...dunno

Did you measure before surgery, it is in places you won't believe.  Maybe remeasure and see the awesome difference.

I lose first in my chest area.  Not a bad thing but I would rather lose in my hips and backside too.

Hang in there, 32 pounds gone is great, sometimes it just takes awhile to show up in the areas you want it too.

Good job.

LaDetra!  32 pounds wow~  Great going!  I think the weight loss comes from areas that you can't see without a mirror and stuff.... I'm tellin' ya...  you wait...  your underwear isn't gonna fit you in a month....  you think I'm foolin' with ya, but I'm not....in fact, I'm just gonna tell you now.... don't buy the nice "frilly" undies when you go shopping just becasue you're gonna be a new smaller size....  you buy the cheap granny panties until you lose as much weight as possible, then you buy the most awesome stuff you always wanted to wear! 

I can't wait till you go through your closet and get into some of those really old clothes that you've been waiting to fit into....  I'm so excited for you!  Before long, you're gonna have a hundrd pounds off of you and you're gonna be a new woman....

Someone has a list of what you've actually lost in pounds around here somewhere...and 32 pounds, (just try to lift 32 pounds of dead-weight...you'll be amazed!), must be like a baby horse or something....so maybe someone will get that list and show you how significant it really is!  You're such a wonderful person that each of your milestones makes everyone so happy! 

We're rootin' for you!

Wow, that's a great list. From now on my next mini-goal is to lose at least an elephant's penis by four months post-op. Now that's motivation...

Hi, LaDetra.
We're so much alike! I said to my husband that here I've lost over 80 lbs. over all, since my highest weight, but I just don't see it. My daughter says she can see it in my face. My husband says that maybe it's where I can't see (my backside).
It's a good idea to keep track of measurements, because that can tell you a lot. I'm going to measure once a month, on the surgery date.
Blessings,
Mary
