Grateful....
Today has been exactly 4 years since I had WLS, and I just wanted to share how grateful I am for the things in my life.
Without WLS, I would not have had the confidence to pursue a relationship, and I would more than likely not have met Joe (my hubby). Without Joe, there would be no Charlotte. Because of all these things, I am truly happy, for once in my life. My mental and physical health have both improved greatly. Without this chain of events, I would also not have had the courage or confidence to go back to work. Now I have been working part time for nearly 3 years, after a long hiatus, and there are even oppurtunities for advancement in the future. Sure, there are always things that could be better, but I realize how fortunate I am to have everything that I have - all my basic needs are being met and then some. I truly believe that had I not had WLS, very little, if any of this, would have happened for me.
Feel free to share if you would like; I would love to hear how everyone else's lives have been impacted by their weight loss and what good things have come your way since.
Take Care,
Tanja
P.S. Just had to share... Charlotte just came to me with a dirty (wet) diaper she pulled from the garbage and exclaimed "Ewwwww"! She makes me laugh!

Happy four year surgiversary, Tanja!!!!
Your post was beautiful and you've obviously worked very hard toward a better, happier and healthier life. Congratulations! Now let's think about getting a lidded garbage can LOL
BTW, isn't is July that Joe comes home? I think of you guys often and pray that most days apart pass quickly.
Hugs,

Thanks, Jo!
I hope everything is going well with the baby now; you went hrough a lot for that handsome fella!
Unfortunately a lid doesn't stop the kid - LOL; she can get into just about anything.
Yes, Charlotte and I drive to Minneapolis on July 3rd to go pick him and the kids (his twins) up from the airport. This last little bit of time seems to be going by so quickly; it must be your prayers! I hope the time he's here goes by slowly, though. My plan is to get so sick of him during that time that I can easily fly through the next 9 months after that.
