6months... WOW
I posted new photos on my progress page. I can't believe it's been 6 months. My surgeon asked me if I was happy with my weight loss, and said he was surprised when i said "YES!". He said most people wanted to lose more. Of course I want to lose more, but how can I not be happy about what's already gone?! I worry that some people take their eye off the ball. It's absolutely wonderful to be thinner, but to be living and not actively dying is much more important to me.
I went on vacation to visit friends and get away last week, which was fun. I put on a pair of shorts one day and found them a little snug, but they were brand new and figured they'd loosen up (denim). I realized later that they were a size 12! My other shorts/pants are 14s. My sister bought these for me and I guess i never checked the tag. I don't ever remember being a size 12... middle school maybe? so I was very excited by the surprise.
Hope everyone is enjoying this great weather!!

Hi Sue,
That's so wonderful. A size 12! Even if they were a little tight! It's not even summer yet! Just think how nice you'll look in a bathing suit this summer too! Keep up the great job. Believe me I know it is not easy! I can't wait to get this stupid feeding tube out! Then I'll feel more human. Hugs to you, Alizka
