WOW Jan What a testimony the power of the Tool!
Yup, WLS is not for the person "seeking and easy way out", but for those willing to dedicate their future to living the best possible of lives, by making choices that are based on the instructions given by our surgeons when they reroute our innards. And for the ignorant people who have not walked in our shoes, who think anything about this path is easy, we can try to inform them, but some people will still not get it, which is why supporting one another along this path is where it is at!
Hugs, I miss you Sister! Hope to see you soon. Congratulations!
Love, Laureen

My Mantra is that I do not determine my success by the number hanging in my closet, nor will I let the scale determine that success either. . . It is through trial and error I will continue to grow and succeed. . . Laureen

I miss you too and have been wondering how things are going for you. I noticed (much too late) that I missed a call from you. I will try and get in touch during the day.
Thanks for the response to my post. It really is all about support and keeping it real. No one can get it if they never gotten it hee hee, so profound these daze.

I still get pangs of guilt that I never made it to see you when you finally had your surgery. I forgot where I was and but remember I wasn't close by at the time to be there. Anyway, thanks for your wonderful kudos and I hope you are giving yourself just as many! You too are doing an awesome job at this WLS and working the TOOL. Look at you girl, you're beautiful!

Lynn,
First of all CONGRATS on your surgery! Four weeks . . . I still remember being excited about changing the food up a little bit more then. I was one of the weirdos that actually did not mind the puree stage of eating. Be good to yourself and be gentle. Get your water and your protein in and the rest will follow along as you continue to adjust to the new you you are evolving into. It's all good and it's all exciting!!!
Thanks for your response.

Congratulations and Happy Surgiversary Sis,
I am so happy you posted all that you did. It reminds me of my own original motivations, and helps me to refocus after my slipping and sliding the past 18 months.
You truly are an inspiration to me, and I appreciate every time you post here. Hope your school year is winding down.
Hugs,
Trish

Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. For remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.

Trish,
My WLS angel! I remember you coming in to see me and then reading your updating posts on this board about me once I got home. It is so hard to believe it has been 2 years. Where did the time go? I'm glad to see and hear that you are making the support group meetings. I missed this month due to conflicts but I plan on being at the June 17th meeting. Can't make the Saturday one in June, too much going on.
School is crazy as anything but yes, it is winding down. Thank God! I amlooking forward to the summer break and time back in PA (and down to the shore of course).
Thanks for being such a faithful companion on this journey!
