Wow Moment on a Sad Day

This weekend my sweet mother-in-law passed away. (She would be so happy at this wow moment, she called me skinny all of the time.) So I had to go today to get something nice to ware to the services. I picked out a black dress and got a few sizes to try on. Well I was by myself and had to call my friend Shelley from the dressing room.....size 8....wow this time last year I was in a size 3x....it feels like a dream. I am a few days from my 1 year being post-op, with 97 pounds gone. Martha

sORRY TO HEAR ABOUT YOU MOTHER-IN-LAW, BUT I KNOW SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN THRILLED FOR YOU.

If you have lost that much weight, I think that you need a new picture...We need to see the 'new' you!!!! Norma

Norma, I would not lie about losing 97 pounds. ("If you have lost that much weight" ) Your post has just left me speechless and upset.

Marion, I am so sorry that I made you upset with my comment...that was not my intention at all. I guess I should have said, "since you have lost all this weight, ..." . I am so very sorry for your loss. Norma

Her dear friend. I am so sorry for your loss but I know she was very proud of you. I am only a phone call away if you need me. I sure have missed being on here. I am enjoying my new laptop and being back in touch again. Hugs

Debra, I hate to hijack this post - but we were talking about you at this past weekend's gathering wondering where you were and how you were doing! It's good to see you post on here again!
