I had a dream

I also posted this to my to my surgery date board . Hi All, All of you have been instumental in my surgery journey , and yes I reply less as my life becomes more active . I do check the boards daily to see everyones WL progress. This surgery has been the most wonderful gift to me as I have never felt better looked better and been more confident before EVER Its like a new toy I have waited and waited for and couln't get before . I thank God every day for this feeling and welcome each new day, one night I had a dream that this weight loss had been only a dream I woke up with a start only to find out that it was and is real, I AM Thin and it didn't go away.Weight does not define me it completes me ,Life is a Dance You learn as you go WE can Lead and follow to all of you special people the (formerly well insulated) we have now shed our large cocoons and become the butterflys we new were there.I don't know if people who were never heavy feel this daily elation??

Hi Marcia, Congratulations on your weight loss success!! I like what you said about shedding your cocoon and now becoming a butterfly..... How awesome!! It is amazing the strength that we find when we least expect it.. I am in the 3rd day of a 18 day all liquid diet. My surgery is June 14th. Because I pigged out for the last 3 months I gained 12 pounds, therefore my Surgeon started me on a all liquid diet so that my liver will shrink down. I was TERRIFIED to do it, but I have been able to with NO problems. It has been by the grace of God that I have been able to do this. I can't wait to join you in saying "I am thin" as well!! God Bless! Kathy

This is a really beautiful way to express your feelings, I loved it. I also know exactly what you mean by every word. I am about 2 1/2 years out now and today I put on a pair of shorts, size medium, that I bought off the clearance rack last summer at K-Mart, not knowing if I would ever really be able to wear them, but since I only paid .25 for them it wasn't a big deal. When I found I could wear them today I was still just as excited and happy about it all as I have been in the past with all the other sizes changing!!!! It actually made me think of my surgeon again for a little bit because although I am the one who has done the work since, I couldn't have accomplished all that I have without his help. Good Luck to you, take care and God Bless~
