My grandkids got dropped off early this morning. I still had my nightshirt on and was fixing them Breakfast, when my 6 yr old granddaughter said, "Nana, your legs are getting skinny". I thought wow, if a 6 yr old would notice that's pretty good. I was on cloud nine. Of course it was short lived. Later we went swimming and when we were done and got back in the house, I took off her bathing suit, wrapped a towel around her and tucked it in. Then I took off my suit, wrapped a towel around me (as far as it would go), when she looked up and said "no towels big enough huh?! God love her, LOL.

That is precious!

Are you keeping a journal of your weightloss journey? If so, you should print that out & put it in there. If not, what are you waiting for??? LOL

You are welcome. I can't claim it as my own idea though ... A friend that had WLS about 3 years ago suggested it to me.

When I am having a down day, I go back and look at my weight and measurement changes or days that I thought were "bad" when they really were just blips. I also keep monthly pictures in there. It really helps. :thumbup:

That is a great idea!! If you are looking for a larger towel.. costco has resort size towels that are wonderful. They are good size and will be great to have after surgery too.

Gotta love little kids they have a way with words! HAhaha..

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
