I already feel like a whole new person! My confidence is much much higher. I've cut my hair short after having super long hair for years and "hiding" behind it. I bought crazy bright neon Skechers sneakers, when I'm used to wearing mostly black so I don't stand out. Have gotten a ton of compliments on both the hair and shoes (even the big burly mechanic, when I got my oil changed, said "I just have to tell you, I really love your shoes." lol). My car is an ancient tan tiny 2 door Cavalier, and I'm test driving a big bright light blue used Ford Edge SUV. I just feel great. People are noticing my weight loss. I've put the fat jeans away. Should give them away or toss them. Most of the jeans in my dresser are now too big!

I feel like a new person too. My loss has been slower than others here but what I have gained in such a short amount of time is priceless. I no longer fear airplane seats- I fit without spilling into my neighbor. I just completed my first day of C2K yesterday. I get tons of compliments from coworkers on my improved shaped. As of yesterday I am 2 lbs from onederland. Life is good. Congrats to all Feb sleever successes.

C2K is a free running app for your phone. It helps you build endurance and pace yourself.

Oops C25K

Yes that is very very common with eating too fast or with dense Proteins (meat) or rice/pasta. Feels like it is trying to push through the bottom of your throat!

Very true. The surgery and the subsequent diet teach us what to eat, but not how to eat. Like most if us, I have a very hectic lifestyle, and seldom have the opportunity to relax while eating. I guess I'll slow down when the discomfort gets to me!
