It happened over night!

When I was first banded I had a friend from this forum tell me that one day people will all the sudden notice you've lost weight and act like it happened over night. Well it's finally happened!

Yesterday I came to work feeling confident in smaller clothes and a new hair cut. I was stopped by so many people and they all had to tell me they didn't recognize me, they're so impressed with my weight loss, and that it just happened over night.

What a shock to me! This has been the longest night ever lol. 7 mo of counting my calories and wearing my treadmill out. Even still, it feels GREAT to hear the compliments. If you're not there yet just remember it's coming! Every little fraction of a pound is worth celebrating. For the record I was down another 0.20 of a pound this morning... oh ya it definitely called for a naked dance!

:P

I guess I should add that as much as you should celebrate every weight loss, try not to freak out if you wake up one morning a pound or more heavier. I'm sure you've experienced it by now, lack of sleep, lack of water, or a slight change in the breeze can sometimes affect that number... temporarily. Keep pushing through those rough spots and you'll get there. Now! Remember this because I'm sure I'll have a low at some point and I'll need someone to help me get through it.

:D

Congratulations! I can't wait for that day either! I have not lost to much weight yet. I was banded Nov. 12th and went through the pre stuff in October. To date, I lost only 18 pounds. I was only filled twice so far. My first fill was 2 cc's and my second was just yesterday and that was 2.5 ccs. When I went home, I was starving. I cheated a little and ate 1/4 cup of macaroni and cheese. Something that would slide down easily. I can't remember why I have to stay on a liquid diet for 24 hours and the a mushy diet for 24 more hours. Everything stayed down. My husband bought me "Dance 2" for my WII and it is fun. I do look forward to that every day and I hope I dont get bored with it. I dont have a treadmill so the Dance is fun and mabe if I remember the exact steps and go to a dance somewhere, I can show my skills. No one has seen my loss of 18 pounds so far and it was a little sad, but I am not giving up. I went on this website and found a bunch of healthy high protein meals that was great. I was getting so down about what to eat. It was becoming boring and I was resorting back to making fattening meals. However, once I saw all of the recipies, I printed them out and have light at the end of my tunnel. Congrats to you and all of us on this amazing, difficult, but worthwhile journey!

I've never heard of the naked dance but it sounds fun. Congratulations on your success and thank you for the words of encouragement. I know what you mean about sometimes the scale going up or down for no reason. One time I lost .4 pounds in two minutes.
