Anyone very feel like, with the wls or anything else, that their lives are changing too much too fast? I've lost 100 pounds in 6 months...I'm getting married three months after I accepted I would never find Mr. Right...I just had another surgery and recovery to go through...and I've moved from living alone in an apt. to with my fiance' into his house. I have what I want...a healthier body and a wonderful man...and I am going crazy feeling like the world is just not right...I feel crazy actually. I mean I am happy and I am in love and I am happy planning a wedding and honeymoon, and things are insane...I'm, thinking about going back to nursing school....How can my dreams really be coming true and yet I still have this nagging uncertainty...Is it normal to feel this way????

Oh, yeah, that sounds normal to me. Remember the movie: 'Stop the World, I want to get off'... I think it's just part of the huge changes, plus all that fat/estrogen flushing out of you. But it's going to be fine. Just grab hold tight of that fiance and hang on for the ride. Life is GOOD after WLS. Pam 282/149/145

Misty, This is easy for me to say, embrace these changes. I do not always practice this but it's something that I do beleive. Everything happens for a reason. I have been married for almost 7 years and sometimes it seems like time fly's and other's it drags. We've had our challenges. Just remember you are team. This is what Itell my husband and daughter. She calls us Team T (ofcourse our real last name). I often feel overwhelemd with my weight loss and the attention that it's drawn to myself. I hear comments and get many compliments. I do agree you have alot going on. I was on the 'fast' track to a new career and then my mom died (3 years monday) and I"m just getting my life back on track and I look back and wonder why did I stop. Nothing changed, my moms situation is permenant. I'm more laid back this time round and doing what I really want to do. I"m in school trying to fund a mba (works paying) online and managing 2 coures in the classroom during the week. I miss my daughter a whole bunch but it's worth it in so many ways. Congrats on the whole wedding/engagement. I got engaged in may 98 on my birthday and we got married in OCt of 99 so we had lots of time planning I also say go for nursing, through the schools I"ve looked at Queen's University of Charlotte has the best program in my opinion and they give lots of grants to help too. MY husband is becoming a teacher, he lost his job in 2004 and he's been in gradschool since. What a rough ride and now it's coming to an end and it's my turn. Love it!!! JT
