i still cant get used to how fast the weight is falling off, when it takes such little effort. this has not been an easy process, but in the past ive had to try SO hard and so long to lose 1/2 of what ive already lost in a month. this surgery is truly a gift from god. well ive had 2 NSVs this week i wanted to share.
1. my stomach used to rub against the steering wheel. now i have a good 2-3 inches between me and the wheel.
2. i used to not be able to buckle myself in my grandparents car. now i can buckle in!!
my scale victory: i always retain a couple pounds while on my monthly cycle. and idk if coming off my cycle yesterday had anything to do w/ my loss this morning. but i was 301 sunday and this morning i weighed 295!!!! that 6 pounds since sunday and 9 pounds since my 1 month check up last wednesday. i'm still seeing myself as the 350lb me. no a 295lb me. i guess itll take awhile. my Dr said that they expect me to lose 30lbs more in the 2 months until they see me. but ive already lost 9 in a week. so im hoping ill surprise them and beat that! family that i see every single day even notice a change daily in me. well thats my success so far.

You are doing great!!! Isn't it a great feeling to "fit" into places easier?? I went with my hubs to Red Robin and noticed that my belly doesn't "rest" on the table any longer! Yeah I only have a tiny bit of room, but hey, I'll TAKE IT!

You are losing fast! You should be really proud :)

thanks so much!! yea its weird to fit places. i used to worry about how i was gonna buckle and i have to remind myself not to worry about it LOL. i went to dennys with my family last week and like you said, my tummy dont rest on the table anymore. barely enough room, but still an improvement. :-) i am very proud

 Those are great things to notice!
Remember to take measurements, sometimes the scale doesn't move -- but we've shrunk somehow!
I'm so proud that you're already beginning exercising and so happy about your success so far!
Keep rockin' your sleeve girlie!
