I was laying on my back in bed last night trying to find a pain free position for my elbow with bursitis when I hit something solid on the way up and my arm got caught on it a little bit. It was the bottom of my rib cage. I haven't felt that for decades! When I stand up all I I can see is this floppy fluffy belly that looks like I just gave birth to twins. This is the first time I have noticed a difference in the basketball I call my stomach and I can finally see light at the end of the tunnel! Almost makes this six week stall bearable. (almost, not quite!)

Istn't that great! Every so often I look at my legs and wonder whose they are, or my wrists and fingers! I don't think the head will ever catch up and remember.

Bone finding - lmao! I'm looking forward to that...and to seeing muscles again! I used to have muscular thighs from biking all the time but the fat kept them mostly covered up.

Good job on your success!

Yeah FJM, congrats on the redistribution of weight. More importantly - who knew that rib cages would be such a beautiful thing?

That stall is bound to break sometime!

Yeah, now I am anxiously awaiting the appearance of collar bones. Or cheek bones. But I would give all that up for a peek at a waist!

That is great!! What a great feeling! I was on the phone with my mom today and felt my lower leg, and was like, WOW, I can feel my shin bone again :) And I still have over 100 pounds to lose! Can't wait to see my collar bones again :) :)

I guess there are other ways to measure weight lose besides the scale, it's fun to notice our knew bodies. I realized my neck looks like it grew 3 inches.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
