Way to go SUEPEEPS!!! How brave you are to take photos! I won't even do that. But I do see/check my side view in the mirror. Mirror is bigger now. And there is a good 10 inches around me gone. Good mirror!

I would say that we're all coming along. I haven't had to puke in a couple of weeks due to one or two bites too many. Family wanted pizza last night. Ordered thin crust for all. Was so starving! Took two small bites then two bites of just topping and I was full....so pissed! I was so hungry and then couldn't hardly eat any of it (but not hungry after a few bites). I know it's a good thing. Just that brain thing again we've all been experiencing. Just have to learn what the new normal is.

Kind of funny actually. What am I thinking that I could eat a whole piece of pizza, much less two...even if it was thin crust? I am obviously out of my mind...you feel normal and forget that you have a tiny tum. Well, that said, you don't forget for long. Thank you tiny tum.

Down 33lbs in seven weeks since surgery! Total lost since June 4th (day of seminar) 82lbs. Finally starting to believe this will work. Taking some clothes by Goodwill today. Before I always kept every size, thinking I might gain the weight back....NOT NOW! Am shopping in back of my own closet for now, pulling out those smaller sizes. God is good!

NewGrandmother! You are definitely NOT invisable!! I am watching you like a weird stalker!! Its because of you that this post continues, and I am so thankful for it.

Bukki! -AWESOME!!! I too have been pulling out the old clothes. I will NOT be keeping those old clothes either.

[kparker0501 88]

Momofthings- Do you remember being able to eat 3 peices of pizza? ? I certainly do!! And WITH Hot wings, lol

Suepeeps- I am proud of you! I hate my body too much to share with everyone still even though we should love the change going on. Maybe I will add pics when I am down a few more pounds.

For those of you posting about Hair loss, I have been using Nioxin Shampoo, conditioner, and scalp treatment. Haven't hardly shed any hair in almost 8 weeks...although it seems like I read somewhere that 3 months is usually when it will be the worst. Anyway, I am assuming the stuff is helping but of course can't prove it. I got it at ULTA. It is expensive though. There are all different stages so be sure to buy the correct one for your type of hair-for example I use stage 3 since I have baby fine hair that is highlighted. So hopefully this will help some of you.

I've been using their shampoo and conditioner too, as well as taking Biotin. I haven't noticed any drastic hair loss yet, knock on wood! I'm learning to be a better judge of how much food I can eat. My husband came home with tiny corelle bowls that only hold 6 oz. for me. That helps too. I keep track of my food on mfp but sometimes at the end of the day, I feel like I've been eating all day long and I'm amazed that I haven't gained weight.

Yes He is! I didn't think I'd ever be to this point (almost 60 lbs gone) and still losing. Thank God for the wisdom He gave doctors and surgeons that allowed this procedure to happen. I'm off diabetes, high blood pressure meds and high cholesterol. God is GOOD!
