Just thought I'd pop in and download some of my thoughts 
Things are moving along. As to my WLS journey, I have changed jobs which has been a huge help. I was stuck tied to my computer and desk before but now I am up on my feet at least half the day which has helped energize my weightloss. 
I have dropped another 15 pounds since changing jobs. I am coming to terms with my post WLS body. I keep reminding myself how I looked b4 surgery. We are so conditioned to compare ourselves to "Hollywood Beauty" which is not even real! I have to remember to compare me to me. I also am trying to learn how to dress, etc. My hair is coming back in and is getting longer again. I totally need new glasses, the ones I am wearing dont fit my new face at all but as always, money is an issue. I think I will ask for new glasses for my BD which is coming up ~ who could resist such a request? Especially since I am frugal, the glasses I picked out are inexpensive. I also need to get a pro make up re-do as my old routine isnt very complimentary anymore. One day at a time. Right now my priorities are on my family as school is ending and we are so busy with that. Things will settle down shortly and then I can focus on some more changes I need to make. Although I dont spend hours on RR anymore, I do ck in at least once every day or two and still get good insight. My appreciation to all, esp Doc & our "Mentors" who have gone the distance before us. Happy Summer everyone!
