I can not believe it will be Three Years soon. God has brought me this way so far, and I have faith that he will continue to do so.

Yes tomorrow is my big day and I am a nervous wreck....I was just reading over the first two weeks of ONLY liguids...My question is do we still drink all tha****er 1/2 hour before or after THE LIGUID meals??? Or does the liguid take the place of the water? I am a bit confused on this. Thanks for any help or support you can give me. Phyllis C.

Happy anniversary. I just had my 2 yr on March 17th. You are doing great. I just had my TT last month and I am loving life and my new body.. Congrats on being a success!!!

3.29.05 -- Where do I even begin? On Feb. 6, 2005 I was involved in a horrific accident which nearly took my daughter's life. She was thrown from the vehicle and landed 20 ft. from the car. She was flown to Shock Trauma where she was in a drug induced coma for two weeks and continued in critical care for another three weeks. She is now living at a rehabiliation center and will hopefully be home with a month. She has a Traumatic Brain Injury (BTI) and is suffering from post traumatic amnesia. She is learning to walk, eat, and function. She is considered "disabled" but with God's grace will make a full recovery within time. Through all of this I am so thankful to have my daughter with me and that her work here on earth is not done. My two year wls anniversary is this Thursday, 3/31/05. I'm maintaining my weight and watch everything I put into my mouth. I still eat protein first, veggies second, and if there is room carbs (only once a day). I drink my water, take my vitamins, and am forever thankful for this surgery. I do struggle with my exercise but will continually remind myself and work on doing better. My mother had wls this January and is doing remarkable well. She feels great, eats well, and learned by my mistakes in the early stages what to and not to do. She is down about 40 lbs. in her eight weeks post op. This year so far, 2005, has brought me great heartache, depair, strength, and courage. We don't know why things happen in our lives. We may never know why, but I believe through others we learn life lessons. I pray through my experience that others learn to love those who mean the most to us as we never know what tomorrow brings. God Bless. -- Wendy
