Thank you all for your comments. I needed this. richsgirl2002 has been a great source of support and sanity for me regarding this. My weight loss has been slow, as well. But it IS weight loss. I find...

Does it feel like real hunger? Because I get these sensations that seem like them might be hunger but don't feel like what I m used to hunger feeling like. It probably is. I don't feel it very often....

Good for you! I am five days post OP and I believe I found your 8 pounds! ;) I expected it, so no need to apologize. ;) Very happy for you!

Girl, blessings to you! Can't wait to hear from you when you're done!

Good for you! It is hard to get used to the idea that your body is different. I have only lost about ten pounds from the preop but my girlfriend told me I am already holding myself differently and...

Oh my goodness, thank you for the giggles! I used to be married and said the same things. He was a STEADY 160, no matter what he ate. And he forgot to eat sometimes. What?

For your family...

Girl, update your ticker!!! How exciting! Gently do your happy dance, lovely lady! Way to go.

Congratulations to you! I will be down in just a little over a week. Glad to hear the stellar review of Dr. Elias and his crew.

It's coming, right? You are going to wake up on the other side so soon!!! I'm excited for you. I will be right behind you. :)

Welcome and I'm so happy for you! Your date will be here in no time!

How exciting is that? Getting to go early! That's not usually how it works. Good luck, Girl! See you on the other side.

Thank you for the update! And congratulations on your loss. So happy for you! :)

I remember telling people that I found new bones I forgot that I had. It's something that people that thin people don't think twice about. But what a great neck bone, right? Can't wait to see mine...

I really shouldn't be laughing but I can't stop... The whole thing is so funny. ...shut his yapper. Oh my. Thank you, thank you for the great, much needed laugh this morning. Cheers!

Thank you for the update. Keep them coming. So glad to hear things went well for you! Yay to your future! :D

Four more days for me... Let me know how it goes. I'm a little nervous about it. Sure I can do it, just nervous about getting too weak and cranky. :)

And? You are about half way to your goal! That's important to remember, as well. You got this, Girl! You're a super star! :)

Good luck and best wishes to a speedy recovery!
