Hi Maritza, I know what you mean about department stores. I just home from the mall and my daughter was shopping at The Body Shop and all cute stores and I had to go to the womens plus size. I hope I will drop my weight in a reasonable amount of time. I will need to lose 92 pounds after the surgery. I am so looking forward to dressing nice.

But, what a nice side effect to have...Weren't you always hot being over weight...

Yes. I do understand. I just eat small portions of everything I like and use a smaller plate so that my plate is just as full as everyone else's. (except bread or soda) Then I exercise like crazy for the rest of the week!! Ha.

Hey Teri. All I wanted was to be able to wear shorts and a tank top. Sounds crazy but so true. Something so simple to those who take that for granted! Well now we will be able to do just that. Yes, it is coming. The best part shopping in department stores that I would have never even walked in and buying a size that my mind says is to small but it really fits on my body and looks great. I plan to wear shorts this summer for the first time in ......... years! Yeah.

Your big day is 2morrow! Are you ready?...... I know just kidding. Congratulations.
