As with many people, I do not like to take pictures--to do so is like a broadway production because I have to do several takes just to get one I can tolerate to look at. Well, I went on my Valentine Weekend getaway and took a look at the picture on the right--my body has changed--people have been saying it, but the picture is really worth a 1000 words after 4 1/2 week post-op. My victory--I have a neck!!! ( I'm the first one in the picture to the left)

As for the scale--after being stalled for 2wks, the scale moved--down 3lbs since last week.

You look great, I love NSV's..... Keep up the good work!

Thats wonderful. You look great. You are such an inspiration. I just discovered my neck too. It does feel fabulous to be able to see the change.

Thanks to everyone--I never thought having a neck was a big deal until now!! lol Inspiration--I never thought I would inspire anyone--that small comment means a lot.

ROFL...congratulations on finding a lost body part! I was sitting in bed reading the other day and excitedly told my husband, "Look, honey! Knees!"

You look wonderful & ohhhh how I am praying to find my neck too :biggrin:

Someday my knees will come! lol.

You look AMAZING! I can't believe what a difference 4 weeks made! I just got banded on February 4th and this board really inspires me! Thanks for the inspiration!

Thanks--a lot of my weight was loss pre-op though. This site is inspiring--so glad I found it prior to the surgery! What is frustrating is I look smaller than I really I am.

I found my ankles within weeks of my surgery. Never knew they were so lost as I have thick ankles and wrists even when "thin", plus huge calves. But when the constant bloat (which I did not realizes I had) went down I found my ankles! Still thick and always will be, but def there!
