I have a neck!!!



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone!!! I just realized something........I have a neck!!! I work for a Time Warner Cable and we are always having special things going on. Today we have a rep from Showtime come in and had a race car driver with her. The driver was signing autographs and taking pictures with employees. So I decided to take a picture with him. Well when I got the picture I compared it to my wedding picture that I have on my desk. Lo and behold.....I have a NECK and have discovered what shoulder blades are!!!! Isn't it the funniest things that you notice when you start to loose weight??

Isn't it amazing Lioness. LOL. I am still early in my banding progress but I always get amazed when I am sitting and see what might actually resemble knee caps instead of big round rolly lumps. I can definitely tell looser clothes but am always trying to see hints of thinning (besides my hair that is). Great job!!!

Interesting. Body parts springing up all over the place. I was in the plane yesterday and kept looking down at my legs. They're longer!! I swear it! Of course, I'm 5ft tall, so they're still just 29 inches long, but I have longer legs!! amazing what that does for my ego.. :)

Leatha, will my legs really get longer? I won't have to get out the sewing machine and hem every pair I buy? You'll be posting a pic in stilettos next thing we know. And Teresa will be wearing mini skirts to show off her knee caps! I felt hardening on both sides of my band and thought something was wrong a few days ago. But it was ribs. I have ribs!

I know, isn't it cool discovering body parts?? My wrists have a new dimension--they're no longer just round--and there's this lump on the outer edge of each one that my husband tells me is a bone. I think he's playing with my head. :)

I can, however, frequently be found absently tapping my collarbone with my fingers. It's what I do instead of chewing my nails when I'm thinking. I love it! :(

You are all doing so great! I love reading about your losses, and looking at your before and after pictures.

Carmen - Who was the race car driver you took a picture with?

I have a thing for my collarbone too. lol. I also find myself feeling my shoulders. There are bones under there too and I can actually shave my legs or cut my toenails now without passing out cause my oxygen is cutoff. :) I can even look at the backs of my legs. I have scars back there I haven't seen since the 70's. lol.

Amazing what can keep me entertained.

      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.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
