Melting

Hi everyone, I thought I would share a funny conversation that went on in my living room last night.

I was sitting on the chaise, my husband was laying on the sofa and my 17 year old daughter was folding laundry standing at the end of the chaise.

My husband looks over at me and asked, "Have you been on the scale yet (surgery was 8/27/15)?"

I replied with, "No, I wanted to wait until I was sure all of the surgery swelling and Water retention were gone first. Why?"

He said, "Because it looks like you are starting to melt."

I looked at my daughter and she said "He is right Mom, you are melting."

I had to laugh. It was too cute. The scale still hadn't gone back to the weight I was at surgery and I do not think I look like I have lost that much weight but apparently I look like I am losing weight even to those who see me all the time.

It is definitely a moment I won't forget.

Hope you enjoy.

My fiance and I both has WLS back in February and we both experience melting. We've joked around about it since it started happening but as more weight melted off the more we melted when we sit or lie down. Our running joke is that we become a couple of pancakes when we lay down. Bittersweet feeling :) Congradulations!! <3

My experience was/is like that. I didn't lose any actual weight for 6 weeks but everything was rearranging. That's how my DH put it.

What a sweet husband and daughter. ????
