A startling realization

I made a startling discovery today while updating my weight tracker this morning.  I am only 49lbs away from my ultimate weight goal.  Wholly Crap!!  Isn't it amazing how it sneaks up on you?  I had been stuck at 190 for a month and finally broke through this morning and hit 189.

that is great, way to go!  I made a startling discovery today as well.  I sat down to go tinkle this morning and to my delight, this might be TMI, I saw a little bit of my girl bits.  Now  I know that might sound funny but when she has been so elusive for so many years, I wanted to jump up and welcome her back!  I was just so thrilled to see beyond the stomach.  I love the shrinking inches, my pants are looser, my jammies hang on me, it's just a great feeling.  But, seeing the genitals again, it's like being in disneyland!

I never thought of that but now that I have seen you write it, it makes PERFECT sense!  Hooray for our renewed sites!!

mmmmm, I know the feeling.  When I had PS after losing 162 lbs and she pulled up on the mons area in conjunction with the TT and pannicula removal I felt positively NEKKED!!!  I could lean against a counter and there was NO BUFFER.  It was very very wierd at first, but now it seems so natural.  I still can't get over a perfectly flat stomach....

I love it, CONGRATULATIONS!!!  . I am just 10 days into this and am have already lost 16 lbs. I have to say I am hating the liquid but reading others successes helps.

your band day was my first follow up with Dr. Tersigni.  I will be having the two month anniversary on Valentines day, can't wait.  I am down 38 pounds and have not had a fill yet.  I know his post surgery liquid diet can seem brutal but hang in there, it is worth it.  You are doing great!

I go in for my first post op on the 13th. I have lost a total of 18 lbs now, I have been doing better. Have found a couple of creamy soups that seem to settle well, as well as V8.  38 lbs WOW....Hope I can do as well.  Louise

Are you kidding, you are doing really great!  I found that during the liquid nightmare egg flower soup was the best.  If you take a top romen flavor packet and add it to boiling water and 2 egg whites, it makes the best egg flower soup.  It's cheap, you get some protein with the egg white and warm anything is filling.  You could drink hot tea and feel full.  Hang in though, only a week to go until the follow up.  They are all so encouraging at bay bariatrics, I am so glad I chose them over our local place.  Plus, in Medford S.Oregon Bariatrics wanted to charge 17,900 for the same surgery.  It was crazy.

I am glad to be at Bay as well. I had considered going to Eugene but they wanted $22,000 ....um NO!  I had to self pay, so I need to stay with in some kind of budget. I am so impressed with how much you have lost. I was just reading a thread in which someone was asking everyone how much and how long it took. Everyone there impressed me. I know I made a good decision to have the band. NO LOOKING BACK....

I'm pretty thrilled as well!  I was expecting a very slow loss, and it will slow down i'm sure.  I'm still in the honeymoon stage so Its dropping quickly.  I too am a self pay and had a budget, there was no way I was going to pay 18,000 down in Medford when I could have the surgery done by a very experienced surgeon.  No question about it!  I had a great weekend, went to Austin and played golf and did a work conference, ate like a queen and still lost a pound.  I was so thrilled this morning when I put on a very old skirt, my zip up leather boots and was able to toddle out of the house feeling really pretty.  Oh and the golf in austin was amazing, 18 holes and it was in the 80's!  Just a great time.  Have a wonderful Monday morning and keep up the good work!
