Today I went shopping with my 16 year old daughter and we both bought shirts at Maurice's. Before I began this journey even the largest of their plus line clothes were too small for me. It just felt so good to get to try things on with my daughter in the next dressing room and then give each other our opinions on how things look. Especially when she told me one of the dresses I tried on was too big!

Sharing time with your kids and not having to worry about them being embarrassed by your size is PRICELESS!!!!

No you didn't miss anything.

I started the process back in August with my plan to be banded once I met my insurance/doctors requirements for surgery, approx a 6 month program. There was not an amount of weight I needed to lose beforehand but by working with the doctors and everyone on my team I lost 70 lbs prior to surgery. I have lost about 13 pounds since surgery.

That is so awesome, you are doing great on your program!
