Yay! Congratulations!

Ok update! I ate nothing but cookies and edamame yesterday. It's ridiculous. I step on the scale and lost another pound. My feet and legs were cramping so I have been drinking a lot of water today. I will see my surgeon Thursday. I going to have to confess up that I've been a horrible eater lately. I don't have an appetite for anything really except sugar! I could literally live on sugar cookies and coffee. It's the weirdest thing. I have a girlfriend that had GB and literally lived on Reece's. I rarely ever saw her with anything in her fridge but bags of them. She stays 130 lbs. It can't be healthy. I'm going to have them do a full set of labs and see if maybe I'm deficient in something. My blood sugars are fine. I check them for fun at work. I just don't have any desire to eat "real" food. No fast food, no home cooked food, nothing really. I have some steaks to make tonight. It doesn't sound good but I'm going to try. I think it's just a phase I'm going through. My husband had me all worked up this week so I think that stress got me off track too. I'm so telling my surgeon on him!!!

@@VSGAnn2014 Thank you!

@@Babbs That's because we're practically sisters! Duh! I got that precious little super soft sweater at good ole Walmart! $12.96

@@BestDayEver lol! Hardly but thank you!

This would be me with my daughter making cookies. I'm not "skinny" I feel like I'm ok proportionately. I don't want to be a stick. I like curves. I would like to stay this way. My daughter is 128 lbs but she's a bit shorter.

@@MichiganChic I'm sure I will hit that too. Im trying not to, I'm emotional overwhelmed right now so I just want to eat junk but I'm trying not to.

@@jane13 Thank you. It's not great but it's to be expected. I still need a tummy tuck.

@@BestDayEver We made a few dozen and I ate one so I'm pretty happy about that. I don't have much of an appetite lately. The husband and I aren't doing so well so I don't feel like eating. Keep up the willpower. Nothing taste as good as a new pair of smaller jeans feels!

We (my daughter and I) are going to be baking cookies today. Wish me luck!

@@Beachy I would use some cortisone cream if you have any. Tell your Dr and see if you can take some Benadryl. It sounds like you may be having an allergic reaction to something.

Backatcha!

Good luck! Keep us updated!

@@VSGAnn2014 Well that makes me feel better...not the naked part but the good surgeon part.

I'm also still waiting to see if I will need jaw surgery and that appointment will be in January. I'm concerned about that. I don't want to waste away with my mouth wired shut. I get my palate expander put in next Wednesday. I'm just hoping that will work and I won't need surgery.

@@VSGAnn2014 I've never heard of him. I guess since It won't be covered by insurance I can pick which ever hospital I want. I am going to do a couple consults. I know Dr Reynolds did a great job with my daughters lip when she had a granuloma cut off. I am going to speak with him too. I just hate getting naked in front of all these people. I'm sure they will any to see the goods. ;(

@@AvaFern I want to have a tummy tuck and lift with implant! I need to go for a consult. I don't know anyone that has had any surgery done here so I have to research it all. I will have to plan it all out. I can take off work as long as I want since I only work when the clinic really needs me so I set my own schedule there but I also go to school so I will have to work around that. I was thinking this summer.

Before maybe 3-4 now I'd be lucky to eat one.

It's normal!

Congratulations!

@@pixieredhead lol! You're too cute!

@@jess9395 You may be right. My surgeon said he doesn't think I'm done losing yet so he wants me to hold off on any cosmetic surgeries for now. I don't want to lose too much more.

@@pixieredhead Well let's just hope so.

I'm trying to keep a grip on it. I don't want to wake up and gain weight. Even though my husband thinks I looked "really good at 165". WTH?! Umm No! It's so strange to me that someone would say I look good being bigger when I worked so hard to NOT be big! Not that 165 is big I'm just saying I said good bye to that number months ago and I have no intentions of going back. I doubt be even knows what I looked like at 165. Dork! It aggravates the crap out of me that people have such an opinion on what I should weigh when not one of those asses said a word when I was obese!! Maybe they were scared of me because I was big and now that I'm smaller they think they are safe? My slapping hand can hit just as hard and it would probably hurt more since my hand is boney!!

I think he may very well be!!
