Today has been hard

WLS is hard.  It is not for sissys.  No one who goes through it thinks it is the "easy way out."
But it gets better.  After 15 months, those first few are such a distant memory so hang in there.  I had issue eating dry pork last month and got the foamies and finally threw up.  It had been almost a year since that has happened.  It made me reflect on those first months again and how glad those are behind me.  One day it will be a distant memory for you too.
