Today marks 8 years since I gave myself the best gift... weight loss surgery. Couldn't let this day go by without a shout out to ObesityHelp and all the pals I made here through the years... so many are still a part of my every day. For those beginning this life changing experience... I wish you well! I hope you will feel the same way about your decision to have the helping hand of weight loss surgery.

Unsolicited advice ;)... Remember weight loss surgery is a DO BETTER, Not a DO OVER.

Do-over - repeat same mistakes=get a similar outcome. Do-better - make lifestyle changes you can continue forever, because there is no finish line, WLS is battle 1 in a lifetime war vs. obesity.

P.S. Work on the head "stuff"... it's the MOST IMPORTANT part of this IMHO.

Shelly, congratulations and huge thank you's! I know the word "inspiration" is thrown around a lot, but you truly qualify. You've put so much back into the community and helped so many of us...I love your site, your recipes, and your positive attitude. I keep your "Do better!" concept in my head as much as possible, it's so much truth wrapped up in two little words!

I wanna be Eggface when I grow up! CONGRATULATIONS, and THANK YOU!
