 Thank you so much.  I always knew when I put on even just a little weight because it shows in my face first, but this is also where I lose it first.  Lots and lots of people have noticed, what with that and the sun shining, I'm a very happy bunny right now.

Hey lurker, stop hijacking my post!!!  lol.

Aww--is the wittle boy mad because I'm not flattering him???

Well then, you're gawjus, too!

Is that better??

Gawjus?  Never a truer word typed.  MORE!!!  MORE!!!  lol

You should hear me in a crowded room - I jump in to other peoples conversations all the time LOL, its what comes of being the youngest in a large and loud family. 

That's called Self-Defense!!

That is one heck of a record there!!! Do you even recognize yourself these days? I know I still have trouble once in awhile when walking past a window or mirror!

Have you tried to do funny things like-make MORE room than you need in a chair? LOL!

Congrats!

When I look at myself in a mirror I don't 'see' a lot of dirrerence.  I have to study a 'before' and 'now' photo.  At the moment my brain seems to be resisting the changes.  However I'm feeling great, walked 5 miles in one go a few days ago and still doing my 2x1 mile a day walks, impossible before the op.  It's now so easy to stand up from a chair, and I have so much energy!

My lad (12)  is looking forward to pushing me around.  I've told him that I'll just have to get my revenge in now....  Janice has already lost a bit of weight, doesn't want me to be lighter than her if I get to target and decide to lose more weight.

Lowered my insulin dose again today.  HOORAY!!!

Fewer meds:  a real Wow!  (or as the guys on the Men's forum would say, a real "FART"--Fabulous, Amazing, Really Terrific!)

A tip for seeing yourself as you really are:  take your favorite photo and tape it up everywhere;  the refrigerator, the bathroom, the front door.  I know it sounds egocentric, but it will help you to see yourself as others see you.  And it will give your 12 y.o. something more to tease you about!!

A tip from Lynn The Lurker!?   I'll take it, and remember to fart.  lol
