No first hand experience with the saggy, baggy thing but I do think some of it will regain it's firmness over time. A quick loss means the skin has to catch up with the loss of fat. Keep up wiht the weights & exercise & recheck in a couple of months. Bet it's firmer.

So sorry to hear about your friends death. The death of one dimishes all of us when we are part of a family. I hope that you & Kim's family will find comfort in her Life. Let her family know they are in my Prayers.

Congratulations on finding your belly-button! *L* I found some tape on my tummy and the doctor says if I keep looking I'll find my belly button just below the tape! I just had surgery the end of November so I'm just starting my journey. Keep up the good work!

Thursday will be 4 weeks after surgery. I have lost almost 30 lbs. i don't feel alot different about my body yet. I do notice the difference in my abdomen and how loose my clothes are fitting, but I am the smae old me. My stomachs swelling has gone down and I am very aware right now of just how small it truly is. Eating is very difficult for me. It's not that I get sick or dump it is just the feeling of fullness I get after having just a couple of bites. I am almost never hungry and have to remind myself to eat. I'm not overly concerned about my protein intake I do the best I can and don't force myself to eat to much. I just make sure that everything I have has some amount of protein in it. I try to have a variety of foods. It is so weird that one day I can tolerate something and then the following week I can't?? My Surgeon wants us on liquids til 6 weeks postop and that is not easy. I have had Cottage Cheese/string cheese and I hate to admit it but Beef Jerky as well. I can digest it just fine and just having the act of chewing again is so rewarding. Head hunger was terrible at first but now when I get those feelings right behind comes the knowledge of how horrible I would feel if I tried even just one bite. I have dumped only 1 time and it was on spaghetti sauce with absolutely nothing in it and I took just one bite but boy was it bad! I didn't throw up or anything but boy did I feel terrible. That was enough for me. I am really ready to start my excercise regimen. I was walking but it doesn't seem enough anymore I feel good and want to move up. I've also stopped comparing my weightloss with everyone elses. It just doesn't matter. I will do it at whatever pace my body wants to do and that's the way it is going to be. I wish I would have taken my measurements beforehand that would have given me something else to track but I am doing it now so better late than never. Having some trouble with BM's lately. It is so ironic because prior to surgery I had IBS and now it is the exact opposite. It feels good to see where I have come so far. The first week after surgery was pretty rough and now it is just a memory. I like the pace I am going right now it gives me time to adjust to being myself again.
