The Big Change
When you see people a lot it's harder to tell how much weight they are losing. I had my surgery on December 3rd and I attend church weekly and have meetings several times a week there as well. My loss (now about 80lbs) is noticable but people have been able to see it gradually leave over several weeks.
Living in New England we have a lot of Snow Birds. Those are the retirees that leave and spend the winter in Florida or someplace much warmer than Rhode Island in winter... especially this winter. One of those snow birds came back to RI today and saw me for the first time since before my surgery. I was so happy to see her that I hugged her and she couldn't say anything. Her mouth was just gaping open and she kept staring at me. She was stunned to say the least.
I have to say it felt nice to get that reaction. I haven't been too focused on how I look just how I feel but it was nice.
