Denver, 6 months, and more...

Got back from Denver last night. I am never saying this is my last trip for a while! There were so many issues that I have to go back again in a couple of weeks. It was the most stressful business trips ever but I never turned to food! There was lots of good in the trip too though. Since I have friends in Denver I stayed with them instead of staying in a hotel and went a day early. Laura and I shopped all day Sunday at thrift stores. I found so many clothes that I had to buy another suitcase to come home!
Yesterday was my 6 month surgery anniversary. I am down a total of 94 lbs and very close to only being overweight. I will post photos here of 10 days before surgery and today if I can figure out how to do so. If not, I will add them to my profile.
Wedding update -- for those who are new or don't know -- in November I am going to be a bridesmaid in my sister's wedding. She wanted me to buy a dress off a rack from a store they do not have in Oklahoma (she is in NY). I talked to her today and she brought it up again. I told her there was no way I could or would do that. So, on February 15th I am flying to NY for a week to go shopping. I will write down the number of the dress we find and then order it from a bridal shop here so that I can have it altered as needed. My dad and sisters have not seen me since surgery except for pictures so I can't wait to see their reaction. My dad was not happy about me having surgery.
(still can't figure out how to add pictures in the post)

Nancy, you look fabulous. So proud of you.

Way to go, girl!  You are doing great.  Wish I could forget to eat but that has never happened to me even after surgery.  Oh well!

Hang tough on that ridiculous bridesmaid dress deal.  I mean, really!

Glad you found some new threads.  That always makes me happy!
