Thanks! How was your support group? I wish we all lived near each other and could make our own! :-P
Mine was ok. I am only 23 and i swear most of the people are there are 30 years older than me.. Which is fine... But it would be nice to have the younger perspective too. And some of the really elderly women dominate the convo to the point you can barely get a word in. LOL! Anyways - The theme was body image. I hate that i have always struggled with very low self esteem. I didn't really learn a lot from it but it was nice to be surrounded by WLS patients who understand the lifestyle and expressed some of the feelings I have. I am going to therapy tomorrow night too. Funny how we think losing weight will automatically fix all our issues, lol.. I still have A LOT to work through.

The area where I have my largest incision has been aching most of the day. I did do some sit ups so maybe that's why.

So I figured I'd ask how everyone is doing? Since we are all going to Celebrate or Bandaversary all this month. What have you all noticed this one month out?
I have to say that I had the most amazing experience yesterday. Back in Feb I went to Florida to take my daughter to Disney. Hubby is in the Army and it just never works out for him to have time off Right before we left I went to the mall to grab a pair of shorts and capris to have for the trip. Rushing and not wanting to try anything on (Because surely I wasn't bigger then an 18) I packed and off I went. You don't need to be a rocket scientist to figure out that the stupid capris didn't fit! I was so mad and upset at myself for once again allowing this to happen. Needless to say that once I had my surgery I put those pants on a chair in my bedroom and I tried them on every week. For some reason last week it escaped me and so no try on. Yesterday afternoon I decided to try again. At this point I have lost 23Lbs sine Feb and with a deep breath they easily went over my butt. And then with and exhale and deep breath again I was able to buttoned them! The scream and tears that followed left me overwhelmed. I went from struggling to pull them up to being able to button them in such a short time. I now know that I'm on the right road and I just couldn't be happier. I hope everyone has an amazing Bandaversary!
