May 6th will be 8 weeks since surgery for me.  It is hard to believe that it has already been that long.  Been some bumps in the road for sure but nothing insurmountable, all a learning (and growth) experience.  My oldest daughter is now about 15 lbs heavier than me and already inheriting a few of my shirts.  She doesn't qualify for and wls and is hardheaded as far as junk foods and sodas go.  My youngest daughter and her husband and 8 month old son came in from California for 6 days for a family get-together (1 year anniversary of my husbands' passing) and we spent the whole time on the beachfront in a wonderful environment/beach house.   This is the first they have seen me in a year and were very happy and surprised (along with my brother-in-law and his wife).  I still managed to lose 2 lbs while they were here.  My biggest SV is that on my tickers, my weight lost is now a higher number than pounds to lose  Only 6 lbs to Ondereland.  I haven't seen that since 1980.  Hard to believe it IS going to happen for me.  This is the best thing I have done in many many years and would do it over again, and again and again if I had to .  Hoping y'all have a wonderful weekend and pleasant WLS journey.  Huggs  Pam

Glad to hear you're doing so well. And I can totally relate about the ticker. That was one of my big goals, and it brought a lot of joy.

Congrats on all your success.
