Is it worth it?

So it has been a month since I have posted to this blog, and to be honest I am wondering...is it worth it?  I am a private person, and thought this would be helpful to myself and others, and yet is it?  No one reads it, and my best friend is really the only one seeing it, and she knows everything about me, and doesn't need a blog to understand me, relate, or be helped by it.  But, here is an update, for what it is worth:

At 2 weeks out from surgery (surgery date of Sept 18)  my surgeon said all was going as expected.  I am on soft foods, and gaining strength all the time.  

At 6 weeks out, my nutritionist called to give me the go ahead for regular food, and it is a struggle to get in 1000 calories a day, as well as the fluids needed.  I am a work in progress, but with a never say die attitude!! Exercise is my biggest challenge right now, because of the lack of energy needed.  I am doing it about 2x a week, but want more.  Another note, when I look in the mirror I still see the 372 pound woman I was even though at this point I am at 40 pound loss...I can see where anorexics fall into that terrible disease.  The one thing that brings me to reality is the bagginess of my clothing, so I know I am losing!
