NSV - Shopping
Hey my OH family,
I have a busy week this week with 3 graduations to attend...my daughter and step son graduate grade 8 and my step daughter is graduating grade 12. So of course after losing 70lbs nothing nice in my closet fits. So today I was off shopping, something I have dreaded doing over the years. Well today i was pleasntly surprised....not only was I trying on some dresses in a size 12 or a Large as well.....they actually fit too. I tried over 20 dresses and found 2 I totally loved. My old dress size was 20/22.
I am so glad today was a fun experience and it's so nice to have such a variety to chose from.
Have a great night all...and thanks, you guys are all awesome!!

Woo hoo! I'm soooooooooo happy for you and your kids. It is such a big decision to even explore the possibility of bariatric surgery - and it should be. Then, when it is done and you are following the program and seeing such wonderful results, you do ask yourself "Why didn't I do this earlier?"
It is challenging, it isn't "the easy way", and I think we needed to go through our journey prior to making the decision to confirm that we really are fortunate to have this opportunity.
Pictures please. You, Doug and the family will look wonderful.
Did I say, I'm sooooooooooo happy for you (lol)!
