Thanks, everyone! Ratsack, my RNY was done on 12/11/15, so I'm six weeks and three days post-op. Nineteen pounds were lost before surgery and the other thirty-one were lost afterward. It's great fun to take my jeans off without unzipping or unbuttoning them The best part is that in just six pounds I'll be able to wear my wedding gown again--as well as all the lingerie I saved from our honeymoon over twenty years ago. ;-)

Diva...hoping your arm/shoulder is on the mend and won't require any surgical intervention. I've been rooting for you and a many of the newcomers since the beginning of your journeys.
Now....what are you going to do with that wedding dress when you can slide back into it? Vow renewal? Honeymoon? I hope you and your husband are planning something special to celebrate! When you put that wedding dress on...TAKE PICTURES! Please post them so we can all share in the celebration!
