Hell yeah, that is awesome, go you! Happy everything is working out for you. I hope when you feel comfy with your new self we can get a pic. Enjoy the rest of your day hun, ride the high! 

I hate you. Haha, not really but maybe slightly in the deep dark places of my brain. I'm super happy for you too! 26" waist...Can I just borrow that for a day? I mean seriously. Now you've got a tight tummy with hot ta ta's..aka Thelma and Louise in all their perky perfection. LMAO. Have a great day Skinny Minny!  

hottagain- Thanks so much! I AM riding the high and hope to stay on it! And keep me strong through all this holiday food to come! Once swelling is all gone, I'll post a picture. I really want to share my belly button! lol... 

Youngbug - ah, you're sweet! Hatin' on me like that! lmao.... Uh... yeah, I GUESS you can borrow my waist for a day... but can I get used to it first? :) (Thanks for being happy for me, seriously) 

I'm sooooo happy for you! Wow, not many women especially around your age can show off as thin waist as yours. Enjoy! 

Happynow... lol! I'm pretty sure that was a compliment! (sort of like being told you're pretty for a woman your age! lol) Seriously, thank you... it does feel good. Funny, before surgery my waist was 27"... looks MUCH different now... more than you'd think an inch would do. Sure it's the lack of excess skin! As I mentioned before, I'm liking my flat tummy and oh-so-cut belly button so much I may just pierce it! lol  

OH wow.....look at YOU!!!! Way to go girl.....( hmmm wonder why we haven't personally shared this news with me......either I've been too me me me....or YOU Know I WOULD call ya A NAME.....he he he) Im so proud of you......told ya after all healing done ya are gonna be way down.....( don't focus on the muscles loss) Shooooot you are gonna have those back in no time.....Yeah YOU!!!! 

Hey D - I'm so happy you hit your goal! That's awesome. I wish I was 122... lol... maybe I can get 11 more lbs off. I measured my waist and its 27" right now - so I can imagine how you feel about 26! That's hot hot hot! I miss talking to you so much... SO PROUD OF YOU!!! 

26" waist !!! Wow that's great! And 122 - so tiny...I'm smiling thinking of your new changes. 

K- yeah... was SURE I'd hear my favorite pet name from you! lol... Thanks for being my best cheerleader! Love you, girl. And yes, I'll work on the muscle part later!  

SQ - I miss you, too! Gosh...never hear from my cyber daughter anymore! (good at this mother guilt stuff, aren't I? You'd think I had practice!) Thanks for being happy for me. And no, you don't want to be 122! You're so much taller than I am and young with great muscles and tone. You'd look anorexic at this weight! I so wish you would look in the mirror and SEE what everyone else does. You know what you might try? Have your boyfriend take a bunch of pictures of you now and have him crop them so you only see your body. That might help yous see yourself... it's an idea! You're gorgeous and look awesome head to toe and I worry as you don't seem to take that IN. Love you, girl... lets get in touch more often! 

Multiplicity... thank you! Makes me feel great when my friends are happy for me. I was just talking to my husband last night about how great my buddies here are and how very supportive they have been throughout these past nearly 11 months now. Thank you! 

LOL thats great news! The swelling will go down a lot after the fourth week and ay still stick around in your upper abs like me still. The more you walk too will make a difference on recovery and eliminate swelling but if you feel tired just don't stop being active try and push a little for two extra minutes each time... you may feel exhausted and want to rest and please do but keep trying to do more each day! I stopped measuring my waist long ago and just go by my pants if they no fit I am in trouble LOL proud of you
