One year ago today....
A year ago today I was a nervous wreck at 342 lbs getting ready for surgery. So many unknowns was a very scary feeling. The pain in my body and heart from not living life to its fullest was great. I woke up wanting to do all I knew I needed too to be successful. So much has changed in a year. I have lost 141 since a year ago and 157 since my highest. A new butterfly has emerged. I still have fears of the unknown today but if they turn out as good as the weight loss has I have nothing to fear. I now have the courage to stand up for me and how important my life and happiness it. There have been some very rough times lately and hope they subside soon. Thanks to all my friends for support along the way and in the future. Happy Trails........
Love and Hugs
Shannon

I remember meeting you last year at Betsy's . And I remember thinking Dang .. that is one tough lady ! And how anxious you where to have your surgery . I remember all of us going to Red Lobster and Dianna and I eating like little piggies , while you and Betsy where so careful to order fish .. LOL .. I knew then you where going to be a great WLS patient . And you have done such a wonderful job .
I know you have been going through a lot lately and I want you to remember to take care of yourself . Make Shannon # 1 at all cost ... YOU are what matters .
Congrats on a successful Journey ... ! You know I am here for you .
Always,
