Hi Terri!   Good game idea.

5 things I like--

better health
have my mobility back
pretty clothes!
not feeling ashamed or self-conscious about my body
feeling "normal" again

5 things I don't like--

loose skin
having to take fiber daily
I miss COKES!!!
trying to find something to order in restaurants
traveling and not being able to find anything to eat except fast food

All things considered, the pros far outweigh (pun intended) the cons!  Yes, I would do the surgery again in a heartbeat.  Wish I had done it sooner.

Thank you we are all such sisters in feelings. Could be why we support each other so much
Terri

5 things I am happy with:

Better health
Better mobility
Being able to play on the grass with my grandchildren
Not feeling ashamed of my size
Being able to fly without asking for a seatbelt extender.

5 things I don't like:

Criticism from Christians who think I should not have messed with my body.
Not reaching goal weight, which is my fault, nobody else's.
Needing iron infusions about once a year.
Dumping when I bend over with a full pouch.
Not being able to order dessert now and then in a restaurant, especially one with good desserts.

Would I do it again?

In a New York minute, I would do this again.  

It is wonderful that we all look at the health first. Being able to move and enjoy family and friends. It shows that we have taken control of life in a form. A pound gained or lost or a goal met or not are just a fact of life. Yet as long as we keep trucking to those goals we are still taking control.

Hugs to all
