Well, I'm not quite 8 months post surgery, and as of this morning, am down 92 lbs. Yesterday, while at Wally World, I bought a new scrub top for work in a smaller size that I wasn't expecting to fit into, but was a good deal on clearance. I tried it on when I got home... and it fit! I thought it was maybe a little tight, but DH said it looked great, and showed that I was getting a figure.

Well, this morning I decided to wear the new scrub top to work, and one of my co-workers, stopped in the middle of a conversation to say, "You know, I keep seeing you out of the corner of my eye, and I need to take a second look to make sure it's you that I'm talking to! You are looking great! How much weight have you lost?" I told her the total, as of this morning, and she just smiled, and said I was doing a great job, and looked wonderful. I had a few more comments along the same line.

This was after last Tuesday, my husband and I were eating dinner and talking, and he paused for a moment, between bites, and said, "Wow... You really look thin right now." It was a wonderful feeling. I think I smiled the rest of the night.

I still have a little ways to go, but am feeling good, and these little things have really boosted my non-existant self confidence.
