One year ago today.........
Lisa,
Thank you for your encouraging words. I admire your commitment to exercise. I know that your year has not been an easy one but you have not given up. You keep on plugging away in spite of what life throws your way. You are also a very positive force on the PA board. Thank you for sharing your journey - the highs and the lows. It shows the reality of this great gift we have given ourselves.

Donna,
Congratulations on your Surgiversary!
Beth said many things I can only echo and I want to say that you are an amazing person and I feel privileged to have watched you go through the many stages, just as a butterfly goes through it's stages and comes out of the final one with such beauty, so have you! You have the most amazing smile and I can remember when it was not like that, I hope that there will be many years of joy and happiness, because losing the weight was only the part that held you back, the rest is the ongoing work, that you have done and continue to do!
Wishing you many, many years of successing, one day at a time!
Hugs, 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

Laureen,
You are one of the very special people who have helped me this past year. I treasure the beautiful words you wrote and have said to me at different times. Your honesty has been critical to me especially at low points during the year. I am happy that my attitude is more positive than it has been in a long time. Trying hard to focus on the present and taking it one day at a time. Thank you for giving back to those of us on the newer end of the spectrum. Take care.
Love, Donna

Thanks Donna. . .
Here's one I'm sure you have heard somewhere and I'm not sure I will have it all right, but here I go. . .
Yesterday is our history, tomorrow is yet a mystery, today is a gift, which is why it is called "the present". . .
so enjoy your gift, whatever it may be, even if some days it's just that we opened our eyes, there is something positive in that. . .
Love, Laureen

Donna - many, many congratulations to you ! You are doing a super job ! And I am so happy that we got to meet again at support group. I know that you and I were on the floor together at Barix at one point, but all I remember doing is slogging my way around the halls trying to get that gas to work it's way out of me 
. Surgery seems so long ago, doesn't it? We have both had a great year !
Keep up the good work.
Hugs,
Lisa

Lisa,
I also don't remember too much from our time together at Barix. I ended up staying an extra day because of a slight complication. That was the best thing that happened. Of course the nurses and support staff were awesome. It is hard to believe that a year has gone by. It certainly has been a wild ride. I am also glad that we got a chance to meet again at support group. At least we weren't drugged up any more. Hoep that all is well with you and that I get to see you in the near future. Keep cool and take care.
