I had a real strange one the other day...was out for a few drinks with people from work....sitting in a booth...a friend sitting across from me kept staring and studying my face....

Finally she said, that she never noticed before how "thin and distinctive" my nose has become since becoming skinny????

My Nose? Looked in the mirror and sure enough....not only has my face thinned, but my nose isn't fat anymore!! It is thin!

My daughter is in college and she came down to visit this week. I haven't physically seen her for several months, she said that I looked "so little"! OMG me little (LOL). I still have about 45 more pounds to go - but I'm gonna take it! I've been overweight almost her whole life (she's 22)!

Many over the past few days....nice warmer day in NY so ran out to do errands with a little sweat jacket on...tons of extra room on the car seat plus so much room between me and the steering wheel I had to lower it...went for a mammogram and that teeny tiny little half-shirt gown actually closed shut with wrap around to boot!! Went for a pedicure and when I walk in the girl says "why theres half of you now"...what a weekend!!!! :D

I went out last night with some friends and didn't feel like the fattest person in the bar. I felt fairly "normal." It felt great.

Waking up each morning and thanking God for all I have, although some may see it's not much. Fitting into size 16 jeans and XL shirts for 1st time in over10 years. Being able to tuck my knees into my chest while sitting up in bed. Walking 4 miles with no problem. Looking forward to each and every day! Loving life again!!! And the list goes on and on :)

The exterminator in our building came in this morning and says - "you look completely different, you have lost a lot of weight"! I said yes 60 pounds, he walked away shaking his head, "wow that was in a short time and you can really really tell"!

Yea - I feel GREAT now - lol :)

Found myself in one of those restaurants last night that used to scare the crap out of me. Very tight seating and very tight just trying to get to the table and back out again. I've avoided these kinds of restaurants because I was so afraid I'd either not be able to get through or I'd have to ask a patron to get up so I could make it past their table. Either way, both scenarios were mortifying to me. This time I got into the chair at our table fine...and it was tight...really tight. I sat on the side with my DIL and son...both of whom are thin people because I'm now smaller than my SIL and sister, who sat with my brother, across from us because they had more room on that side.

Walking out after dinner, was also challenging because of how crowded the place was and when we got outside, my DIL mentioned that it would have been much more difficult to make my way out a year ago. I was thinking the same thing myself. So here's another situation that I no longer have to avoid. Now I know I can go to any restaurant and not have to worry about the space I take up.

I have always had, and always will have, wide feet. But, at my heaviest, I would need a WW width. I could never find "cute" shoes. Today, friends, I found cute shoes in a plain ole wide width. I bought those shoes, too...

Hi all

I have a new one, yesturday I went out with my husband it was the first time in a couple of weeks that I drive my car after my fall ,when I get inside my car and start driving i saw my husband smiling and I ask him why he was smiling and he said because that was the first time that I did not fight with him regarding him moving my car seat, My husband is slim and always move my seat to the front when he drive my car, one time I was so upset that I prohibed him to touch it and use his car instead of my, now I realized that I was very rude with him and he never said nothing back to me, I love my husband !!!! :))

I went shopping on Saturday -- a big deal for me as I've always hated shopping. Could not believe the difference in being two sizes down -- the reality of trying things on in the dressing room and not feeling desperate, the choices! I was a 2X at Coldwater Creek and now I'm an XL imagining my next shopping venture a few months from now when XL will be too big. I didn't get much but now have a few nice things to tide me over -- pants that fit and pretty tops, yippee! Went to Boston yesterday to lunch with friends then a museum and I felt like I looked good. And I'm not in a panic about suitable business attire -- I generally work from home with occasional meetings out in the world. I don't feel afraid of dressing for the next one of these. What a relief!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
