Hey Rose. Goooooooo Dawgs! Sic 'Em! Heehee, that's where I went to college!
I'm glad you are pain free, but pissed that they couldn't tell you exactly what was wrong. I hope it is all gone and better for good now. I'm your surgery date buddy too, and I still have 19-20 pounds to go until goal. I wonder how much is skin? Anyways, have a great week and feel better soon!

My latest wow moment was being able to get new jeans in a size 12. I can't remember when I last wore that size, probably before the 9th grade because I remember I wore a size 14 then. It is so much more fun trying on clothes now. I don't have to worry about things being to small or going to a woman's specialty shop. I can shop in all the regular stores.
See my pcp on Wednesday, haven't seen her in 6 months, so I anxious to see what she says about everything. See the surgeon for my 1 year visit April 2.

Yes, I agree to the anniversary pics..too bad we all don't live near each and get a group shot!!!
You all have made this journey so much easier for me and I thank God for each of you. I pray each of us can bless others that read about us and see our before and afterphotos and just hope they can do as well as we have...the way we did before we had surgery (remember how many days we clicked next..next..next)
Thanks everyone for your kind comments.
In His love,
Joan
Topic: Any new WoW moments going on?
I went to my PCP on Sat. for routine blood work and to have him document my rash for the PS down the road. He came into the office and said, I almost don't even recognize you any more! One of his assistants did my vitals and drew the blood first before I saw the good doctor. She tapped my vein and I said, should I make a fist? She said, no, I can find your veins, you have good veins. Well, in actuality, that was probably the first time I've ever heard that in the last 30 years. I could see my veins too, but I've always had problems having my blood drawn, so it was really a WOW moment for me.
Then last night, my husband said to me, you shouldn't lose any more weight. You are getting too skinny. I laughed and told him that I am 165, I am hardly skinny, but to be honest, I think this is the thinnest that he's ever seen me and for most of my married life, I have been plus and ultra plus size. So it's kind of ironic to be told that I shouldn't lose any more weight.
How's everyone else doing?
Take care,
Sue

Rose I am SOOOOO proud of you and what you have accomplished....I am in awe...I am so glad you are pain free for now and pray you get back normal feeling....I know the going back to liquids is nothing compared to all the troubles you have endured so far...but now you are on the up and up and that goal weight is very close for you. Wow, I am just sitting here smiling and shaking my head...how good God is to have helped you and how blessed we are to hear of your success.
In His love,
