ANGEL DUTY IS GOOD FOR ME!
I have been on angel duty a couple of times before, but this time around having an "Angelette" is really good for me.
Ashley is home from the hospital and she's experiencing the normal stuff that comes along with wls: lack of appetite, those dreaded gas pains in the chest & back, and trying to belch (nothing happens). For those symptoms I gave her the usual advice.
But, I told her that in 4-5 days she was going to start feeling better and she may even feel like eating a little more. As I was telling her to follow the orders from her doctor's office, I start thinking about the early days when I got banded. Those were really the good old days. I only did what my dr. said and nothing else. The results were amazing!
In helping Ashley, I am also helping myself by reminding myself to do the things that started my beginning success with my band. I'm amazed because I set out to really help someone else and I'm getting blessed in the process.
Angel Duty is Awesome!!!!!!!!

I agree Karen, it is a blessing in disguise. I just had official Angel duty about three weeks ago and I have become more focused as well.
