I also get surprised by the mirror regularly, and I LOVE that!!
Sore tailbone - DEFINITELY, but love all the new bones that I can see and feel (collarbone, hips, etc).
I've actually grown half an inch - so that was cool! My son told me that there is a sign in his weight training room that actually discusses how being overweight compresses your spine and makes you shorter, so I guess losing it did the opposite - YAY!
I LOVE the new me!

I went into a Lane Bryant store weighing 120 lbs. I was totally snubbed by the sales staff!!!!!
Also was once alone in a hotel elevator with mirrors on all walls. I did the "pagent walk with model turns back and forth and watched myself in the mirrors". DS

Opti Wt Nov 4/17 226 lbs BMI 45 Sx Wt 212 lbs RNY surgery Nov 23/17 M1 -18 M2-9 M3-10 M4-8 M5-6 M6-7 M7-6 M8-3 M9-1(so far) Down to within one pound of my goal and 99 lbs down from my highest weight. I was not a fast loser but who cares as long as you get there! I know the newbies check the trackers and the signatures so although I kind of lost track of how the rest of the weight came off, you should know that it was not fast and furious but it was slow and steady!
current BMI 24.7 that, my friends, is NORMAL!!! Strong is the new pretty!
