First time tonight!

I had my surgery nearly 2 months ago and have lost nearly 40 lbs. The only friends I have really seen since surgery are the ones who already know about my surgery. With the holidays and work and surgery, I haven't seen some groups of my friends in months. I also haven't told a lot of people about my surgery, just specific ones who I am closest to. Tonight is the birthday party of a friend who is part of a group of friends I haven't seen or talked to since summer, I think. A large number of our friends will be at said party and I am going after I workout tonight. Part of me is wondering if anyone will notice and part of me is hoping that they will. I specifically wore something that enhances my better, smaller curves. ;) To say I am a little nervous might be an understatement.

Wish me luck!

Hopefully all went well

So, how did it go? I remember in the beginning thinking when the heck are people going to start noticing and I think it was around the 50# mark. Keep up the good work!

Hope you had a wonderful time!? Going public must be hard. I am just one week out so I'm adjusting and it is all so new and scary.
