I know that I've lost weight since surgery because the scale shows it and because I have found new clothes to wear in my own closet that I had forgotten about! But, sometimes you just want to hear someone say it. I think I'm at that stage where people are staring and saying that I look good, instead of saying that I look like I've lost weight. But, the true test of weightloss all of my life has been my direct, blunt parents. So, I walk into their house today. They haven't seen me in a month. My Dad yells to my mother, 'Come see her, this girl is getting skinny!' LOL! That's my true weightloss test!

You go, girl! You look fabulous!

Wow! You look great?

Wow! Amazing!

I find that after I take my vitamins in the AM, I start sweating profusely. My doctor says that I'm finally burning fat and that's why I'm sweating more. I'll take that as an excuse!

I stopped at a truck stop today and saw Muscle Milk. I thought of you, although we've never met.

You look great!

Great job! You made it! I told you it would be okay! Now, just relax, sip and eat some Popsicles! Remember that it gets better each day....

I'm almost a month out and I'm pretty thirsty as well! I want to just drink a 20 ounce ice cold Coke so badly!

I'm only 3 weeks out, but I made up my mind to weigh only on Saturdays. Also gives me an out when someone says how much have you lost. I can say I don't weigh until Saturday.

Haterz will hate! But, I know how you feel! I want to walk up to a few folks in 6 months and say the exact same thing! Let's add that to our bucket lists!

Wow! Amazing!

I eat it plain.

Amen! I have a former good friend (she doesn't realize she's fallen into the former category yet) who is the Ms. America type! All eyes were always on her. So, she attracted the men at the parties, but I had the personality to keep them around! Boy, was I the classic fat girl wingman! People always said she was jealous of my life anyway, but I think a smaller me is going to finally put a whole in that friendship coffin!

That's definitely on my list. I can't wait to fly to see how far I've come. The last time I flew was well before my surgery and I had to ask for an extender! That is an awful and embarrassing feeling. I said never again! A great victory for you!

I was tempted to buy something in say a size 14 (a size I have never worn in my life) before surgery but I didn't!

It just happened to me. I was eating plain tuna and I think I ate too big of a chunk and I ate too fast.

You look marvelous!
