You look great! Two thumbs up!

I knoooowww lol. It's the only reason I replied. You've been so supportive of me and I didn't want you to think that you were alone with your pre-op food funerals.

You know I chowed down prior to my preop diet! My brain really thought I'd NEVER be able to eat again. I look back and think how silly that thought was, but at the time it was REAL. You are not alone :-)

Thanks so much for the recommendation. Adding Weights to my workout is at the top of my 2014 list- right under joining a co-ed kickball team in my area! This book will be my gift to ME!!

Oh I didn't know that! Thanks for the info

When I actually get some, I'll let you know :-) but from what I'm reading here, I'm in for a good time lol

Oh my word you are so PRETTY! And doing a bang up job from what I can tell.

Hey August folks! I haven't been posting much because I can't get with this new format and wading through RnY-village or Lapband-ville. I'm a low and slow loser but glad to be losing all the same. Preop 259 Sw 248 CW 208

I think it's just a matter of people being accustomed of you looking a certain way. I get amazed stares whenever I would wear a 'fro instead of weave. Now multiply that by twenty when you lose weight. Just like it is taking my head/thinking a while to catch up with the changes in my body, the same goes for the thought process of other folk. Hate that you are feeling like a sideshow, but they are adjusting to the new you.

Butter I felt the same way this Thanksgiving, seeing those plates piled to the heavens was really making me queasy. But I didn't want to be that girl either.

Everyone's food choices are soooo exotic! Makes my quiche Lorraine (with turkey bacon) that I'm making today sound downright boring!

What a great suggestion- we need some kind of filtering option over here Alex!

Luckily I am a "slow" loser so I didn't suddenly Drop a ton of weight. I told my coworkers I have a nutritionist and a personal trainer. Since ive always worked out, very few have asked anyway

I wore this. Didn't require me to bend to put it on and was loose over the abdominal area.
