Has it really been two years already!!!! YES IT HAS!! And I'm so very gratefull to Dr Svendsen, nurse Barb, my angel, all my WLS peeps, and my family for all your love and support. I'm on an emotional roller coaster again (and unlike Darla, I DON"T like rides!!) and with all that's been happening this past 6 months, I'm so happy that I have my health and strength to tackle what's been dealt to me. I've reached the surgeon's goal, I've reached all my health goals, and I've reached most of my personal goals. Okay, you ask, what goal didn't she reach??? Roller skating, I haven't yet learned to roller skate. But you know, I've done other things that I didn't think I'd ever do, like get more involved with life. It's a huge step for an introvert like me. Don't laugh! I am an introvert at heart. My advice for all the newbies and those in there first months....learn good habits! Stick to the program!! Have faith and patience!! Go to support groups!! In no time at all, two years has past! To all my friends on OH, thank you so much for being you and for all your inspiration, hugs, and support. I love you all. Edi

As well you should be happy. We have so much to be thankful for, as you said, health and the strength to tackle anything. Even though size is just a mindset, you look FABU!!! Congratulations on 2 great years, with the best yet to come.

I LOVE to roller skate - as long as it isn't inline, we should buy some outdoor skates and start tooling around the lakes

Edi, Congrat's on 2 years.........And Thank You for your advice. You have done an amazing job. I hope to meet you someday at a coffee and chat. It's good to hear stories & advice from those that are far out, and have been there and done that.......... It is really important to stick with the program, because like myself I strayed a bit to those carbs when I was down and had a heck of a time getting back to the basics. But I think I have kicked those bad habits. It's a one day at a time thing for me....... I don't know what you have dealt with the past 6 months, but you have done wonderful, keep up the great job.

Thanks Adrianna! You are so right...it is one day at a time. When we mess up, we need to know we can just start fresh. And also ....treats are for once in awhile, not everyday!
