16 months ago today!

How my life has changed in this last year and 4 months!

I posted a new picture of me in the jeans I used to live in before surgery - women's size 34.  Today I'm wearing size 12 jeans!

Check out my profile if you want to see it.

Congrats !

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! What a great job.

Jan, isn't it amazing?  And just think, not only do you feel great and look great, but the grandkids have one hot looking Oma! Kix

Kix - you deserve a kiss for that one! Thanks so much!

Amazing - good for you, Jan.  What a blessing to have our lives back -  Kellie

Jan, I'm so excited for you!  Isn't it amazing to see how much has changed in such a short period of time?  Congrats on those size 12's!  I was amazed to buy 14's from a regular store.   Go Jan Go! Is there a support group meeting coming up?  If you know the date, let me know!  Thanks!

Jennie - We had a support group scheduled last week, but turned out no one could make it. I think poor Heather is getting discouraged too. I doubt with the holidays we'll have one before next year.

Thanks Jan.  Let me know when the next one is scheduled, and if I can be there, I will be.  I really enjoyed meeting with you and Heather that one night.  I teach water aerobics when the group meets at Kaiser, so that group is out for me, and there are times when a support groups would be really helpful. Did you ever go to Hong Kong?

Hong Kong and Manila  - I'm scheduled to leave Dec 1st if all goes well with our contracts. I'm not holding my breath since they've been telling me I'd go in August!

The owner of the company is throwing the Hong Kong part in as a bonus to me ( I have no work to do there), it's my dream to go shopping at Stanley Market. So if it works out I'll go there for 3 days before going on to Manila for work. Stanley market is a huge open air market, one thing I want to do is go pick out silk and have a blouse made, they measure you and make it within 24 hours. Also the same with hand knit sweaters. Of course I'll get some Christmas shopping in too! It scares me a tiny bit to be going alone, but I'll manage, I'm a little bit excited too even though I don't want to be in case it doesn't work out. I let you know about the support group!
