THANK YOU SUSAN!!!

I just wanted to post a huge thank you to you for doing the Questions Of The Day and the Homemaker posts. They have been GREAT fun. I look forward to both of them every day. You are doing such a wonderful job!!! *big hugs and much love* Felicia =0)

Hey Susan I almost forgot!! Happy 5 Month Anniversary my Surgery Sister!!!!!! *huggles* Felicia =0)

Awwww.....thanks. I'm glad you are enjoying them. I wasn't sure if the Homemaker one was fun or if you guys were getting bored with it. If you do, just let me know! And, Happy 5 month anny to you too!!! Susan

You are so very welcome!! NEVER feel like you HAVE to post either of them. It will wear you down. When YOU are tired of them you need to stop ok!! *HUGS* Felicia =0)

Thanks Felicia for the kind words. I actually enjoy doing these posts. I just don't want to bore you guys with them. As long as everyone likes them, I'll keep going. It's fun to come up with the questions....and I figure, heck why not share my day with everyone. We share everything else! If we can talk about bathroom problems, why not house cleaning, right? Susan

I love them! And thats exactly it. Was telling hubby last night its like have "some one there to clean with" lol. Ya so your not here in person but in spirit we are cleaning that closet together!! Not to mention its a great insight to a persons personality... *huggles* Felicia =0)

I feel the same way!! It's nice to know there are other people out there cleaning along with me! I love checking in later to see how everyone has done with their lists/days too. So much more fun than feeling like I'm alone with it all... Susan

I second that, thanks Susan. These are so much fun and I too look forward to them daily. Wow, we are all coming up on the 5 month mar****uestion for you all....How has these past 5 months been for you? Easier than you thought, worse than you expected? Is the tool working like you had hoped it would or are you disappointed with what you have acheived so far? For me, this has been a wonderful experience. Easier than I ever imagined it would be and that is only with God's help that it has been that way. I couldn't be happier with the weight loss, even though the stalls are rough, but in general, been very pleased. But am so grateful for the mental changes that have come with this surgery. Just the positive outlook that I now have with life and I feel like a beautiful butterfly emerging from a ****oon. I never in my wildest dreams thought that this surgery would make so much of an impact in my life. Gotta love it.........Have a good day everyone.......Gay

Thanks for the sweet words Gay. As for the past 5 months...they have been good for the most part. There have been the down moments when I wanted to eat something and couldn't (birthday cake, etc) and times when I was frustrated at having to put so much time and effort into planning my meals, counting protein, and all the rest....not to mention STALLS! But, the positives have so outweighed these down times that I'm very happy with my decision and the outcome so far. Some days I have to take a step back when I'm frustrated (like today) and realize just how far I have come since making the decision to have surgery. I'm so happy that I'm more willing to go out of the house and DO things...like visit dh's co-workers wife in the hospital. You never would've gotten me there before! Or go to an amusement part....or have the ability to say, I don't need this job, it's stressing me out and my family needs me - I don't care HOW lucrative it is! That was as hard a decision to make as having WLS, believe it or not! Even though money is tight and I sometimes feel guilty for spending the $$ on my specialty items, I do it anyway...because I'm worth it. I didn't feel that way before. Now I know I'm worth it and that I have to take care of myself so I can be around to take care of the family. What a change in thinking!! Thanks for asking the questions Gay!! You beautiful butterfly you! Susan

I second the thank you. Although I may not always respond I have a great time reading them! It is a lot of fun! Thank you thank you thank you!!!!! xoxo, Melissa
