SO... hopefully I am confinced adn stop worrying..
OOOO almost forgot... short story.. :
       I was shopping at wal-mart with family last week.. not paying attention to anyone.. had to ride the scooter-( seriously spine problems) anyways.. observing some yogarts.. I get OOHHH MYYYYYYY GOOODNESSSS from across the frozen food thingy in middle of isle.. ooo..yeah a girl I havtn seen since early dec... her mouth dropped, she actually hung up on whoever was on her cell phone talking to( just love the cell phone shopping ppl LOL) .. and she prances over..and just gapping wide mouthes.. she said.. OMG your gorgous.. how beautiful.. what did you do? ..,. I never told her or much of anyone I had the RNY surgery.. til now.. I told her.. she was just wordless.. and the best part.. I had no makeup on. face was pinked from rosacea and I felt like crap! and this is the part I get complimented the most.. I still have hard time accepting compliments.. and just say thank you.. guess my brain has alot of catching up.. and I didnt think 67 lbs was noticable.. to me anyways!.. had to share!


Hugss to everyone
Tammy

What a wonderful story. You have done a lot of hard work to get where you're at. Be proud.   Mag  

You have done well Tammy, take pride in the changes.  Yes, 67 pounds is noticible.  Congrats.  I hope that your mobility is improving too.  Love that you stopped the phone conversation in the flash of an eye.

Thank You Mag and Kathy, I got another moment to share.. funny actually.. Last night.. hubby was rubbing my back and butt..yes I love the butt rubs..lol.. with all the injury I have it knockes me out...anyways.. he seemed to "found" and spot of interest.. Im thinking..oh no a butt pimple..he is worse than a female..he will pop them happily... NOPE... he was feeling my butt bones... HOLY COW... felt weird.. I got butt bones..still convincing myself..yea I know there there..I saw them on XRAYS..HAHA...but never felt before..or have a person say they can feel them.. ok..sorry not doing a post on butt bones and all that.. but it placed progress report in my brain..after I am letting my fears wonder in my brain.. I get a motavation... Shall I complain more?? LOL..

Doesn't it just feel so great when someone recognizes the difference.  I , for one, am havig a difficult time seeing the changes in the mirror.  But I did find a picture taken last march and I was like OMG what a difference.  Also this weekend I worked on a different floor with people who have not seen me since the surgery.  One guy kept commenting that I looked different, so I told him that i had lsot 75 pounds.  The next day he said, "I cant get use to seeing you like this".  Also another girl I used to work with said that I looked like I  lost a whole person when she saw me from behind.  SO cherish these moments!!!!

 Congrats Tammy, that's awesome!
