It will hit you when your clothes don't fit you anymore. I am only three weeks out and already have gone down one whole size in clothes. I actually had to retire some of my jeans and a couple of sweaters that were just hanging on me literally.
Congratulations on your surgery. I am glad it went well for you. If it is any consulation, the really bad pain only lasted about one week for me. I haven't used pain medication since then.

Thank you all so much for your kind words!! *hugs*!

I made it home, and have immensely enjoyed smelling foods that I no longer feel as though I "WANT"-- I never in my life thought that I would feel 'full' like I do.. and it is one of the most wonderful feelings... Like a whole new door has just been opened! I can't wait tos ee where this adventure takes me!

Congratulations. You are on your way to a new life. I had mines a month ago and I feel better than ever. You will smile more and others will tell you how happier you look. Stick to the GB diet and you will look like a model in a couple of months. I am on my way to getting there. :)

    I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
