Any regrets? Happy? Content? Satisfied? DETAILS DETAILS!!!!

Sadly yes, we are a nosy bunch. (to be completely honest though, Cloe and CanadaSunshine put me up to this!). I'm merely the one who chose the short stick!!!

:scared: :)

I just came back from having a fill - only .5cc - and a weigh-in. I now weigh 170 lbs! I am very, very happy! :scared: :confused:

Wow! That is fabulous!!

Great work.

YEA GREEN!!:clap2: :clap2: Share your secrets,I have'nt had my first fill and I'm as hungry as a bear:hungry:.

You need a ticker Green. Good work. How much have you loss altogether.

Wowee green!! Lookit you!! Those tickers come in handy, I don't even remember where you started! What's your grand total then?

Good job!

Mandi

Thank you, my sweeties. Because I was and still am phobic about the scale thing I can't tell you guys about all my details on the weight loss stuff. You must know that I chose not to weigh myself after I turned 25 and now I am an ancient fart of 57 going on to 58 years old! Ugh.......

All my weight experiences over the years have been NSVs - the good, the bad, and the very ugly!

I gotta tell you that even though my husband has been telling me that I have been losing weight, I was afraid to jump on the scales today. I was terrified and came close to opting out of the experience. For me this bizness of a weigh-in is not only a question of learning about personal weight loss facts but about conquering complicated personal neuroses.

Oof! You have no idea how afraid I have been to deal with all this scary stuff of getting weighed and knowing just how fat a grrl might be. Why, I've been avoiding all of this crap for decades. I still don't know whether I am happier about weighing in at 170 lbs or having the courage to allow myself to be weighed in the first place. Weird, eh?????????

Congrats on your success Green.

ummmmmm.....but....ahhhhh...the clinic must know what your starting weight was...n'est pas?

Green!!! Congrats on your weight loss and the great NSV

Cloe, 2.5ccs hope it all goes well.

Thanks for the good wishes. My total weight loss has been 30 lbs and I have gone from a size 18W to a size 14 pant. I weighed myself for the first time in 31 years the morning of the operation.

Wow Green, good for you!!

That is so very awesome Green!!! YAY for you!

Be proud!!

(wow...size 14 pants!!!!!)

Congrats Green. That is so great! I can't help but weigh myself every week, but I think that the victory of trying on the smaller sizes and having them fit is just as good if not better! :biggrin1:

Oh, thank you so much, Dame and Yoda - you little sweetie pants - and you, too, becca, and the rest of you lucky Canuckies! I really, really appreciate belonging to us, eh!:myscared:

Whoops, sorry greenine: that IS awesome! Congrats! :myscared:

So, now... back to me.

Fill yesterday = fabuless. Anyone who will be going to Nova Scotia for fills with that lady, have no fear.. She IS awesome. I've never had a better attempt at a fill than my very first when Dr. Cobourn did it himself. Not attempt, cause she did it, on the first 'shot', no wiggling around or any gross-ness. It was awesome, and she was very nice.

The roads were terrible when we left at 6am, but by the time we go to Moncton, they were much better, and we decided we would continue on. Got the fill, went and had some soup, and drank 2 bottles of water. An hour and a half later, after a trip to Penningtons where I found this awesome bra I've been searching for in a small size, which I can't get here (40C yay!) We left.

I obviously forgot somewhere about drinking before lying down, and had some flashbacks of the choking on water episodes from my past, again last night, but... yikes. I won't do that again tonight. I have to figure out what a good cut off time is, though.

Anyways, I have lots to do. So... I will. I'd love to go through and read all the posts I've missed the last couple days., but it'll have to wait til later!

Green, your a brave girl, congrats!!!!

Thanks Wheezy, so far so good!!
