It is quite interesting. I look in the mirror now and try to picture myself thinner...after a year post op, and I wonder if I will look at it then and wonder what I looked like fat. I hope all goes well for you on this trip DeeDee. You look great now, do not let anyone tell you different =) Hugs if ya need them!

DeeDee, I hope you have a drana free visit as well. Unfortunately sometimes our friends aren't quite as happy about our weight loss as we are. Lets hope your friends are encouraging. Have a safe a good trip!

I will be seeing my mom and sister next month and have not told them beyond that I have been on a diet, so will see if I tell them after the reaction. My sister is heavy and struggled all her life and now has diabetes and I wish she would have this surgery but of course it is a big decision and I wouldn't want to encourage it and then maybe not be right for her.

Hope your visit is a positive one for you with no drama concerning your new healthy body.

Thanks for your encouraging words. Everything turned out fine on that front:-)

I'm so glad to hear it was a drama free time. It's difficult sometimes for me to hear comments from people even though I want to believe they have the best intentions. . .
