When you realize that the strange feeling you noticed driving over to the gym was your sports bra slipping up over your new, smaller breasts! Hee hee!

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL! I'm an eye doctor and I absolutely go through the roof when my patients come back and tell me they are no longer diabetic! This is SO AWESOME for you, your health, your families, your LIVES!
Not sure if anyone was watching/reading the news in the last few weeks, but a long-term study was just published showing how bariatric surgery was much more effective at controlling and/or eliminating diabetes than medications. We all figured this out already, of course, but hopefully insurance companies will take this new information and stop getting in the way of people who just want to be healthy.
Blessings to all!

Just realized today that the weight on my driver's license is correct for the first time in 30 years! Hee hee!

You are doing GREAT! You really can't overdo liquids. You can get dehydrated much more easily than the opposite. And please if possible, DO stay off that scale. You KNOW you are losing weight. Just give your healing body a break!8 weeks from now you're going to look back at this post and smile. I promise!

I thought I was a pleasantly plump, jolly woman. Turns out I was just a fat pushover terrified of being called a fat "b%$ch.". Well, you can call me b%$ch now, baby, cause this girl's almost skinny!

ICE. COLD. ALWAYS. I sometimes go into the bathroom at work just to stand by the hand dryer for a while. Wool is the greatest stuff EVER. Everything should be made of wool! And all base layers should be poly or silk - those cotton thermals just don't cut it.
My fingers and toes have developed this weirdness called Raynaud's phenomenon- I usually can't feel most of my fingertips and they are bone white from the last knuckle to my fingertips. Sometimes they turn blue, and sometimes red. They're very patriotic!
I have to touch people's face in my job as an eye doctor. I've been apologizing for the icy hands when they jump away from me in shock. Sometimes I mention that my father is half vampire. Not everyone gets the reference.

Adventure. I was handed a blank map the day of surgery.

TRANSFORMATION. I am truly transformed.

I don't feel comfortable with "journey" though I've used it for lack of a better word. I've used process. I really like "adventure"!!!!!!!! That is spot on!

I cringe everytime I hear someone use the word "journey" when describing any life realted event - not just for WLS. I've never felt comfortable using the word... so I'm not knocking anyone that likes to use the word. But I finally found my word - adventure. What's your favorite word to describe your "adventure" in WLS?
