Man I feel like a woman!

iTS GREAT! I REALLLY DO FEEL LIKE A WOMAN AGAIN! I do not go out feeling like a blimp that everyone is looking at and saying what a cow she is. I smile more and am so full of life again. I have no health issues. ITS GRRRRREAT!! (as tony tiger would say!) How about all of you? This life is so great! GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!! LOVE DEB

I know what you mean. I actually like to go to the store now. I have only lost 84.4 pounds, I am down to a size 20. I know that is not the most apealing size or best apealing thing to look at but, I do not have to go out in sweats and a overstretched t-shirt that has been worn over and over because that is all I have because where I live you are luck to find a 26/28 or larger on a rack. I know can purchase clothes at Wal-Mart or other stores and feel good. I no longer doge people I know, I walk by and say hello. I have had no major complications. Just fear of the stretching syndrome. I think all newly post ops have that fear. I am glad you posted. Allot of people neglect this board and use the main message board. Take care.

Yep - I fear that stretching too. *grins* AND it feels good to have some guy actually flirt with me. I was certain there must be some babe standing behind me. I have *finally* lost 53 lbs. I was having a bit of a plateau so I upped my protein grams and attempt to up my water/tea/liquid intake. I have been lucky, too, to not have any complications!
