WHAT AM I THANKFUL FOR??? My story

This past year has been the best year of my life . . I can't believe it's been a year already since my weight loss surgery and it is a good time to reflect on the gifts that this journey has brought me.  There's a lot for which to be thankful -- so where do I start??? I am thankful for a wonderful husband, who has supported me from day one.  He has always been there for me and is very proud of my accomplishment of losing 110 lbs. and 69.875 inches since surgery.  The support of my family and friends was vital to the success of my weight loss, and without everyone's help I know I would not be where I am today on this wonderful weight loss journey . .  .  . as I continue on my weight loss journey I no longer have to deal with constant foot and leg pain, I have more energy than I've had in years, and I have confidence in myself and a great feeling of accomplishment.  I enjoy exercising (did I say that?); especially walking and riding my bicycle --- and let's not forget about dancing!!! I love to dance  and have been able to enjoy dancing now more than ever.  I'm also thankful for the many new friends that I've made through OH and the support group meetings that I faithfully attend -- both those that have had WLS and those that are contemplating WLS --- Just as I appreciate my friends for helping me through my journey, I'm now able to provide support and hope to others. 

Congratulations, you look beautiful.  Be Blessed.

I am happy that your appointment went well.  I will pray for your success with the insurance company and with the surgery.  It is a scary decision to make, but you will be happy, happy, once you make that decision and the weight starts to come off --- you'll be amazed and pleasantly pleased with the results.  It will be a new life for you --- FAYE

Congrats Faye, I can't wait to start my journey. RNY will be on Dec 18th. Your journey inspires me and I hope it will be my new start at a new life. Thanks and have a great Thanksgiving.

Good luck to your on your weight loss journey --- what a great Christmas gift --- I will be praying for you and keep in touch.   FAYE

Faye is my ANGEL!  God sent her into my life at just the right moment to help me transition from "one day" to "today" where WLS choices are concerned.  Her testimony helped me to stop putting off LIFE and make the decision that saved my life.  This Thanksgiving, I, too had a lot to be thankful for and at least one new favorite person to Thank God for.  Thankyou Faye for your transparency and for being my hero and ANGEL!
I LOVE YOU FAYE DOIS DOIS!
