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'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
