Today was a happy day so I thought I would share. Today I got on the scale, since my first meeting with the surgeon on Sept 30, I am down more than 18 lbs. That made me happy but then at work I was standing waiting for someone and I looked down. Know what I saw? Boobs and feet. NO BELLY! For the first time in many many years the belly didn't stick out further than the boobs. I celebrate this first victory and have been grinning all morning!

Good for you! I think it's good to acknowledge other signs that your shrinking besides the number on the scale. Keep up the good work.

Boobs and feet are a great thing...if only the boobs did point toward the feet.
