    Mel, I know that your date came and went, but I still wanted to show my support. That does not mean that you weren't in my thoughts and prayers. May you have a speedy recovery and let the melting begin. John

Saw Dr Dan today. Weight is 191--down 66. I feel good. Have gotten sick a couple times but was my own fault. I don't tolerate chicken cooked certain ways so I get rid of it rather than suffer. Blood work has come back good all around. Am wearing a size 18 jeans and NOT TIGHT!. I have been taking in all my scrubs (since I sew) but it getting more and more difficult. I will probably not take in many more, just make new. It's getting to the point where I would have to move pockets over and raise the hem for them to look good.  Support group is great. We have a good bunch of people so willing to help each other. If you are not in one, find one. It is well worth the time.

I am at the point where people actually notice now. I love it. I love hearing that I look younger! My rings are falling off and my watch is loose. I have been swimming and last week went kayaking. I thought it would be a lot more strenuous than it was. Very fun!! Will add that to my firsts with many more to follow. I have been taking the stairs whenever I get the chance and don't get out of breath. What a change for me!

Good luck to all going to surgery this month--it is soo worth it!
