Something kinda wonderful......

Hey All, I cried tonight....let me explain, tomorrow I am going on a field trip with my 2nd grade daughter to the Franklin Institue. Now let me tell you guys that I have NEVER-EVER gone with her on a class trip (it was always that I was too tired, too afraid of excessive walking which would lead to sweating and heavy breathing, and so on...). Well, I am about 2 months post-op and I am 70 pounds lighter.....yippee! I can now walk, and walk, and walk.....so I am making my little angel so happy since Mommy can go with her on her trip!! I just wanted to share that..........it made me so happy---I cried! Hugs to all of us "losers"!! Susan

Hey Sue ~ I am very Happy for you,I know DAYday is Happy as well ! Go and enjoy your day,and don't forget to take your frozen (WATER) and some goodie snacks.... Hugs, ~ Vernette M ~

Thank you Vee!! We had a ball!! Sorry I didn't call you back I came in from work and took a well deserved nap!!! Hugs, Sue

Susan, I am so happy for you!!! I so know exactly what you are talking about. Your post brought tears of rememberence to my eyes and heart. These are the best blessings of this surgery. Sure it is nice to hit key numbers, key sizes, and etc ... but for me the real joy, the real blessings are in the key goals of returning and being able to fully enjoy life!!! Being able to give to your family a fuller life that includes yourself. Great words of wisdom from V, make sure you take along plenty of water and "pouch proven" meals/snacks. Enjoy your day, your little angel and your entire rest of your life. I will be thinking of you today, knowing that your heart will be exploding with joy. (I could hardly contain myself the first time I had a wow moment ~ likely just like you). Hugs, Tammy

Tammy, That is so true!! Even just taking walks with my daughter and husband instead of staring at the TV all night and really not discussing how our days were is a joy for me!! I am getting so much more quality time with my family!! By the way we had a blast on the trip--the Titanic exibit was my favorite!! Hugs, Susan

Congratulations Susan! That is a HUGE deal Linda

Thank you Linda!! It felt great!! Susan

I'm crying tears of joy with you... Have fun, I know your daughter will be so proud of her mother. Dianne

Tears of joy are the best!!! We had so much fun today--I might even go back in a couple of weekends and drag my husband along with us--he is not too big on museums!! Thank you, Susan

Hi Susan, I am crying tears of joy for you! I know that making your child proud is a big deal. I can't wait to have that feeling. Take care Dana
