One month post-op

Thanks Barb.  I will def. have to go to that website and I did happen to do my inches before.  Shopping in the 5-7s i would never have believe that i would ever shop there!!  I am going home for thanksgiving and wanted to look atleast a little different especially for the people that didnt know i had it...so im hoping to lose a little more before the 20th of november,  We will see.  Thanks again Barb.  One of these days we will have to meet.

Hi Amanda,

I'm sure that you'll lose more between now and when you head home for the holidays. There are sure to be plenty of oohs and ahhs as they see the metamorphosis starting to occur. What will be really interesting will be when you do this again next year. While the changes will start to be apparent now, the will be astounding when you have been on your journey for a little more than a year and you will likely shop the 5-7-9 Shop to put together your outfit for the following Thanksgiving. Even this year though, you will have soooo many things to be thankful for and will already notice a significant change in your body and behavior ... changes for the better and for the long term. I truly believe that you will be a longterm success.

As you say, we will have to meet sometime. I'll probably be in the area this week, but unfortunately, for very sad reasons because they will be holding the memorial for dear Grace on base later this week.

Take care sweetie,

Barb

I am so glad you're feeling better.  I was going to message you to find out if you hadn't posted.  I'm sure the folks back home will be really surprised when they see you Thanksgiving!!!  I'll bet their jaws will hit the floor!  Take care of yourself and you can always go to the seafood festival next year with your new skinny self.
