Happy New Year to all us shrinking people!

Hello everyone. I just found this message board today and it is the first one I ever posted too. I hope everyone is looking forward to 2004 as much as I am. I have dubbed it "the year of the shrinking Patty" because that is exactly what I am doing. I am 2 months out and have lost 38 pounds. I have NEVER been able to lose more than 20 pounds EVER so every pound over that is a reason for me to celebrate. Almost all of my shirts are too big now. I mostly wear stretch pants so I haven't noticed much there other than the other day I got into a pair of "real" jeans that I haven't had on for over two years!!!! Having this surgery has absolutely been the best decision I have EVER made. Continued good luck to you all in 2004.
