I had a WOW moment today and I don't have many.  I was at my new job sitting in on a training of 30+ people.  I was sitting at a table with a bunch of "girls" ranging in age from 18 - 28.  They were talking about dieting, clothes and shoes.  They were very pleasant and included me in the conversation.  When talking about the price of shoes I said that I don't usually spend more than $10 on shoes and buy mostly clearance.  One of them commented on how could my feet stand cheap shoes then she said "but your tiny tiny so it probably doesn't matter to your feet".  I JUST ABOUT FELL OUT OF MY CHAIR!!!!   Just needed to share.

Thank you both!!   I never imagined I would get to where I am with this surgery.  When I figured my excess weight loss the figures told me I would probably be between 198 & 168.  I'm so excited to be where I am.  Though I can't quite wrap my warped brain around it but I know what the scale says in the morning and it makes me smile. I wish you all this much sucess!!!  It wasn't easy, never will be but it's so worth the struggle.
