Before I had my son 13 years ago, I was a size 8. I was always "thick" but shapely. In fact, I was shaped how most black women that I know are shaped (I am black, btw). I had thick thighs, wide hips, a big butt, small waist, no stomach and DD boobs. I was also 130 pounds and 5'2". One of the things I loved the most about my short frame was my long neck. Well gues what? I was just sitting in my room and happened to look up in the mirror and there it was. My neck has resurfaced. The fat is gone from around it, and I can actually see it again. It looks weird to me, because I haven't seen it in so long. Or mabye it's because I've never noticed my collar bone be that prominate before, but whatever the reason, my neck is back.

Maybe all this sipping and nasty ass Protein Water is worth having my neck back!

Oh it is alllll worth it -- I can't believe how awesome this surgery has been for me and I KNOW that in the end, despite the liquid diet, despite the mushies, despite the awful protein crap, it is totally worth it! SOOO happy that you have your neck back! Hooray!

I remember that moment after my surgery too. Being able to feel my collar bone was just amazing to me - I kept telling my husband "feel this, can you believe it???"

I hope you can keep some of your booty, because mine is non-existent now and my butt can certainly get SORE when I sit on something hard! Being "boney" is a mixed blessing!
