Do you find yourself startled by how good you feel?

I have lost almost 80 pounds since my surgery on August 18, 2000. In just the last couple weeks I have been amazed at how good I feel physically. I'm also startled to realize how bad I felt before surgery. I knew that I was having difficulty with just managing daily activities, but I thought I was doing okay. Now I realize how very tired I was and how much pain I was living with on a constant basis. Also, I have suffered from Seasonal Affective Disorder for many years. Between Thanksgiving and the first part of February, it was all I could do to manage to get to work each day. This year my SADS began almost a month later and has been very mild.......more like the occaisional blues than a full-fledged depression. Has anyone else experienced this drastic improvement in emotional outlook?
