WOW Friday!!! WOW WOW WOW!!!

Just got back from my hernia surgery follow-up with my surgeon's office. It is a beautiful, sunshine filled day here in my neck of the swamps. Hope it is in yours, too! I expected them to take out the drain today as nothing was draining anymore but the nurse also removed all my incision stitches, too! And there were a bunch! The biggest gift of the day was she put steri-tape across the incision without a bandage and told me I could now shower without covering the wound!!! Ahhhhh! Can't wait! Now the biggest WOW of the day is that when I weighed, I had lost 7 pounds since my last office visit which was a couple of weeks ago. I have lost over 80 pounds!!!! WAHOO!!!! Only 13 pounds to my personal goal of 150 on the doctor's scales. Never been this thin before so not sure how much further after that I want to go, if I do. It is exciting to think that for once in my life I'm not looking at 80 + pounds to lose. Only 13 pounds. That sounds so much more do-able!!!! Sounds like what a skinny person would say!!! All my overweight friends do what I used to do when my skinny friends would tell me that - they roll their eyes at me and say, "where do you have 10 pounds left to lose?" I just smile. Have a great weekend everyone! Peggy B.

Thanks, Tina! Won't fit into any size 6 but I'll be happy to wear those size 8's for the first time ever in my life! Don't even think I wore an 8 in middle school! Have a fantastic, great, wonderful weekend filled with sunshine and smiles! Peggy B.

WTG!!! I know you are happy about the steri strips, but it pales in comparison to only having 13 lbs left to lose!! Keep up the great work! Cindee

Good morning, Cindee! Yup, you are right. 13 pounds sounds so do-able. Have a great weekend! Peggy B.
