Let's have some fun:

1. I can walk 45 minutes non stop on a treadmill at a 5.0 incline!

2. When I walk outside I'm not afraid to look at my silhouette!

1. I no longer feel the need (nor can I ) to devour everything in sight!

2. My bathroom no longer looks like a laundromat with wet clothes hanging everywhere to dry so that I do not shrink them in the dryer. Now everything goes in the dryer!

1. Mid sentence, my husband stops and gives me a stunned look and says I look 10 years younger.

2. My shoulders are shaping up to look like shoulders and I can almost see my collar bones.

3. I put on a dress I think should fit now and it's too big!!

4. I put a third of what I used to eat on my plate and it's way too much.

When I can stop at a tiny amount. I'm almost 6 months post op and I am still amazed by the small amount I can eat. I used to eat an entire restaurant meal with no problem plus a good bit of the appetizer. Now, I will order one knowing I will take a ton of leftovers home. I can't even eat 1/3 of my food before feeling full or satisfied. Seriously, I can still only eat about 2.5 ounces of Protein and not much more regular food either. I can eat a bit more cottage cheese than I used to be able to but still only about 1/2 to 3/4 cup. I am pleased with my capacity.
