I started walking, hoping this will help. I guess the issue for me is going back to work, looking the same as I did when I left 6 weeks ago. How embarrassing is that! I mean everyone knows that I had the surgery. I was hoping to have better results and make a grand entrance.

I think that you look different already. I saw you the day after your surgery, and then again about a week ago, and you looked different to me. You face is a lot slimmer, and so is your body. I could totally tell that you have lost weight. It is easier for me to see that in you than it's for you. You will soon learn that no matter how much you loose you always see the big girl. My friends son took a picture of her and I yesterday (a full body picture), and I saw it and told her wow I kind of look thin there,
and she said DUH that's because you are, but I still don't see it in me. Trust me you look like you have lost weight!
