So to me I still look as fat as ever in the mirror but last night I had an almost scary NSV! Almost 1am as I was getting ready for bed I remembered it was garbage night. I was already stripped down and I'm pretty sure in my sedate neighborhood I'm the only one still up and about so I took the garbage to the curb in my boxers. As I was hurrying to get back in out of the cold before a car drove past I saw the shadow of a man against my house' date=' cast by the streetlight directly across. For a split moment I was freaked out until I realized it was in fact my own shadow and I didn't recognize it immediately. The shadow had love handles but was no where near round like it used to be. :) I actually stopped to gawk at it in disbelief for a while.

So I guess much of my weight is still hanging off the front and is still offensive to me in 3D, but my 2 dimensional profile isn't looking half bad! If you are struggling to notice your progress, take a page from a groundhog and see if your bare shadow scares you. What's the worst than can happen? Six more weeks of winter?[/quote']

This is just a great story. And, to your point, we can't see all our angles, so where we lose weight may not always be in the most obvious places. I've lost a lot in my FACE. Okay that isn't a bad thing, but I can't wait till I lose more of my big ol' butt!

Okay guys home and here is the story..

On my scale at home I weighed in today at 216.4

wii weigh in was 215.00

and of course the doctors scaled was 217.8 wtf lol so I guess I will be going with the 216.4 lol since its in the middle. point is no matter what I have lost over 40 lbs point blank lol.. No blood work was done they said to me the average sleeved person has no issue with absorbing its RNY people they keep an eye on so unless an issue arises there is no need for concern with my blood and intake I was like okay if you say so.. Quack! But it is what it is I feel good my skin looks healthy and unless something makes me scream help I will leave it alone.

What's everyone's thought on straws were a few months out! Do you think it's ok to use? I so miss my straws!

I started using them within the past three weeks and I don't notice any problem (from introducing more air into my stomach). I wouldn't drink from a straw all the time, though. But once a day or less than once a day hasn't been a problem.

I don't really have anything set as far as a daily diet. I usually have 1 Protein Shake a day, a Protein Bar, baby bell cheese, beef jerk, lunch meat. I drink about 50oz of Water a day and 8oz of 2% milk (I refuse to switch to skim...lol). I try and eat every 2-3 hours even if I'm not hungry.

In the beginning I exercised daily, walking 2 miles a day. Nothing crazy 2-3mph, but I haven't been on the treadmill in 3 weeks and I'm still losing.

Starting weight was 265lb.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
