One year ago today.........
I was sitting in the waiting area of Barix clinics. My surgery was pushed back a few hours because an emergency had arrived. I was beginning to get a little anxious but in the scheme of things it did not matter.
One year later I am over 100# lighter, feel better than I have ever in my life, love my Zumba class, make support group a priority, and have met a whole bunch of great people. Went back to see Dr. Boe on Monday and he told me that I seem so much happier than I did before. That's a no brainer to me. I woke up every day hating the body that I had and felt helpless about it being any different.
WLS has given me a new lease on life
I can't get over how much younger I look and feel. The compliments and WOWS have been awesome and I can finally smile, accept them and be proud of what I have done
A big shout of thanks out to all of you on the PA board and in the rooms at Barix. You are a big part of my successing. Looking forward to many, many more months of taking it one day at a time. It is so good for me to see long timers on here. One day I look forward to being one of you guys - your guidance and honesty have really sustained me on some very dark days. I love all of you
Who knows maybe during this next year I'll even get a picture posted on here so people will know what I look like.
Keep cool today everybody and keep on supporting each other. That is key to making this journey possible. Take care.
Love, Donna

Since I started on this journey I have met many great people that came before me and after and many of them I call friend. Yet I am honest when I say to you I am proud of you from the bottom of my heart. You have been honest to the point I am sure it hurt at times but you stuck with us and kept being honest. You never said this journey for you was rainbow glitter and sunshine. Yet you came out on top with a smile that lights up the room these days.
You are will have a place in my heart because you have never given up!
Here is to many years of this journey with a smile and continues success.

Beth,
To a fellow musician - I am also glad that we have become friends this past year. You have a very positive attitude about you that has helped me a lot this past year. Sorry that you are still in school. When I get back from Cape May we will have to get a date. I intend to be at Liz's cooking class in July and at the Wed. Barix support group. Hope to see you there.
Love, Donna

Thanx Julia - we both have come a long way this past year. Looking forward to seeing you and Paul at Liz's cooking class in July. Enjoy the beach. I am heading to Cape May on Sunday for a week and intend to wear my bathing suit on the beach. I haven't done this in at least 20 years
I'll let you know how it goes. Take care.

You'll be fine in that suit on the beach, Donna!!! I've seen all kinds of people in all kinds of suits on the beach this year----and I won't remember a single one of them! People are too busy having a good time to worry about or remember me, so I tend to put the bathing suit out of my head. Just go have a good time---and show off that new body!!!
Julia
Take care.Most Active
