    By this time tomorrow, you'll be on the losing side. You're in the best hands with Dr. Randall and he'll take good care of you. You'll be in my prayers. I'll be up to see you on Wed with Rita and again after support on Thurs. Remember, I'm only around the corner from the hospital. So if you need anything, CALL ME! Luv ya girl, Lorraine

2 months out

I can't believe that I'm 2 month out already!

You're not going to believe this but my incision is STILL draining.  However, I consider myself lucky that it's nothing more serious.

I've been doing great with food.  No issues at all.  I am very careful about what I eat though.  I've never thrown up (hate that) and never dumped.

I believe I've lost about 40 pounds.  I bought a couple of sweaters to wear back to work.  I had been wearing a 3X when I had surgery but now I bought mostly 2x'S.  I had posted about a dressing room disaster on the Mass board and someone replied that they had some clothes that were too big and I could have them if I wanted.  Thank you Laurie.  So, Laurie and I met at a local book store and she gave me some clothes.  I wish more people were doing this.  It's so expensive to buy new clothes that you will only wear for a couple of months.  So yes, I'd meet anyone, anywhere to be able to do this.  I think we should also do it at our support group meetings.

My energy is slowly starting to return.  That was the hardest part.  

I returned to work on Feb. 26th.  The first couple of weeks were hard as I was so tired when I got home but that's been getting better too.

When I look in the mirror I don't notice my weight loss.  Others do though so I'm happy about that.

That's all for now...........
