You can put on your shoes without it ruining your day and almost making you pass out.
Walking a few miles becomes almost effortless.
You are willng to have pictures taken of yourself again.
Your tailbone hurts if you sit too long.
You can see hip bones.
Your 15 year old daughter tells you "Dad, your moobs have gotten smaller......."

It took about 2 months for me. I'm 3 months out now and everything feels 100% normal, just smaller.

My paperwork was submitted today by my Dr's office and I have Aetna Choice POS II. I will let you know how it goes.
They are submitting:
-documented BMI of 40 with sleep apnea as a co-morbidity
-psych eval
-nutritionist visit eval
-6 month weight loss trial results
-2 years of height /weight info showing obesity levels of weight
-letter of medical necessity (from the weight loss trial Dr.)
I hope all goes well but we'll see. My Dr office claims Aetna is usually easy to work with for approvals. They are estimating 2-4 weeks for a decision. I'll be calling Aetna on Monday to see if they received the info.

I eat at restaurants everyday with no problems. They all serve Protein and I take home what I don't finish.

Put on some of your old fat clothes and look in the mirror. It's a better indicator of success than the scale and an arbitrary number. (I stalled for almost 3 months and just started moving slowly down again. it's how I kept my mind and my scale from discouraging me.)
