I have a neck!!!



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone!!! I just realized something........I have a neck!!! I work for a Time Warner Cable and we are always having special things going on. Today we have a rep from Showtime come in and had a race car driver with her. The driver was signing autographs and taking pictures with employees. So I decided to take a picture with him. Well when I got the picture I compared it to my wedding picture that I have on my desk. Lo and behold.....I have a NECK and have discovered what shoulder blades are!!!! Isn't it the funniest things that you notice when you start to loose weight??

Isn't it amazing Lioness. LOL. I am still early in my banding progress but I always get amazed when I am sitting and see what might actually resemble knee caps instead of big round rolly lumps. I can definitely tell looser clothes but am always trying to see hints of thinning (besides my hair that is). Great job!!!

Interesting. Body parts springing up all over the place. I was in the plane yesterday and kept looking down at my legs. They're longer!! I swear it! Of course, I'm 5ft tall, so they're still just 29 inches long, but I have longer legs!! amazing what that does for my ego.. :)

Leatha, will my legs really get longer? I won't have to get out the sewing machine and hem every pair I buy? You'll be posting a pic in stilettos next thing we know. And Teresa will be wearing mini skirts to show off her knee caps! I felt hardening on both sides of my band and thought something was wrong a few days ago. But it was ribs. I have ribs!

I know, isn't it cool discovering body parts?? My wrists have a new dimension--they're no longer just round--and there's this lump on the outer edge of each one that my husband tells me is a bone. I think he's playing with my head. :)

I can, however, frequently be found absently tapping my collarbone with my fingers. It's what I do instead of chewing my nails when I'm thinking. I love it! :(

You are all doing so great! I love reading about your losses, and looking at your before and after pictures.

Carmen - Who was the race car driver you took a picture with?

I have a thing for my collarbone too. lol. I also find myself feeling my shoulders. There are bones under there too and I can actually shave my legs or cut my toenails now without passing out cause my oxygen is cutoff. :) I can even look at the backs of my legs. I have scars back there I haven't seen since the 70's. lol.

Amazing what can keep me entertained.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
