GREATFUL 24 Posted September 9, 2009 glad swelling going down. I like to eat popcorn too. My son is constantly eating it. went out of town this weekend and family kept saying how skinny I am. I guess all the exercise is paying off. It was nice to hear compliments. My tummy doesn't seem as huge either. Doing lots of crunches. Still have those darn saddle bags though. My sister is only 10 lbs lighter than me so trying really hard to get to her weight. It is so nice when people notice your hard work. I am so looking forward to being able to exercise again. I bet you will catch your sister in no time. Laura Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GREATFUL 24 Posted September 11, 2009 Trip to the PS Wednesday was good. I am now a free woman. Free to exercise and take a bubble bath if I want. The appointment wast at 3:30 PM which was good because that is my typical swell time. And I was swollen. So I got to show it to him, he said it was all normal and that it would get better over time. I have to go back in 3 months for my final visit. I have posted some new pictures. Don't see much diffrence in them but took em anyway. Don't forget the Password - OMGnoflab http://www.makemeheal.com/pictures/viewAlbum.php?albumid=9792. Do you ever think what will consume your mind and time when you have lost all of the weight and gotten rid of the flabby skin. I hope to be finding out just that thing in the near furture. OH, going to see the grandbaby in two weeks....YEA Take care all, Laura Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skinnyjeans 2 Posted September 12, 2009 Laura, Wow. You look fabulous. I can tell a difference from seven weeks to now. So 3 months of swell. Ugh. Still amazed in the difference of your before. I really hope my results are this great. Yay, I know you are excited to see grandson and released for exercise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
minidriver 0 Posted September 12, 2009 Wow, Laura, you look fantastic! I was feeling pretty blue today about how I look . . . the huge area of swelling over my left hip is pretty hideous. But then I looked at your pics and it made me feel better again. Not that you looked at all bad at first, but because of how great you look now. I just need to be patient and know that it will happen in time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OH, going to see the grandbaby in two weeks....YEA Take care all, Laura Laura, you look great!! You must feel so good about yourself. Did you lose pounds with the excess skin loss? I wonder how much of my excess weight now is fat and how much is the awful flab from loose skin. I guess it can be measured. I just wondered if you saw a difference on the scale. Congratulations on your transformation!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GREATFUL 24 Posted September 15, 2009 JMS - I have not see any change in the scales. Doc. says that is due to swelling. He took off around 5 lbs. So I hope to be seeing that reflected in the scales in the near furture. I have also been released to exercise, so that is making a big diffrence. Thanks for your sweet comments. Take care all, Laura Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
minidriver 0 Posted September 15, 2009 I wonder how long it takes for that weight loss to appear on the scale? You obviously LOOK smaller . . . I weighed today (6 days P.O.) and am exactly where I was the day of surgery. I'm hoping the 6 lbs he took off shows up on the scale sooner or later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know how long it will take, but my PS says it will show up in time. You just have to give yourself time to heal. So how are you doing? Pictures?
