7 Month Surgiversary

Happy Seven Month Surgiversary to All! Today is my 7 month anniversary. As I was getting dressed this morning, I felt something I haven't felt in years - my rib cage. That felt so good because I forgot I even had one underneath all of that padding I was carrying around. I feel so good since surgery and am encouraged by all of you on this board and am thankful that we have each other to help each other through this blessed journey. One of the guys here at work was so sweet. He was walking around with a tray full of pastries passing them out to people and came up to me afterwards and asked if that bothered me because he knows how much progress I've made and he didn't want to discourage me. I thought that was so nice of him to ask how I felt about something like that. Everyone I know has been really nice to me at work, in my congregation, my friends, all very supportive and especially all of you! Okay that's my mushiness for the day. Hugs to All, Karen S. Down 84 lbs., wearing a size 12/14 - started out at size 22/24.

You are doing so well!

Thank you!!

Thank you Karla!!! Dana

AAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWW what a nice post. Congrats on your seven months, that is great progress. Isn't it neat to feel those bones? One day, I put my hand on my hip and was sure I had a tumor or something. So, (I guess instinctively) I felt the other one - I had the smae tumor on that side. Well of course it is not a tumor, it was my hip bones! Sounds like you work with some nice people, how considerate of that guy to ask about your fellings! Send me your size 14's when you shrink out of them! I am just getting into a 14. I started at a 26/28 or at least so I say .... I found a 30/32 in my closet the other day. God Bless, Jen

Hi Jen, I can certainly send you my 14s! Wow you have gone down quite a bit in size, congrats to you! I love your new picture. That was funny about what you said thinking you had a tumor or something. Yes these brand new unidentifiable body parts are popping out all over and it takes us awhile to figure out what they really are but once we do, it takes awhile for it to sink in. Keep up the good work. Hugs, Karen
