Thank you so much Debra.  You WILL feel that way someday. Your turn will come...just hang on tight because it is one helluva ride!

I love, love, LOVE this post. You really expressed so well how empowering losing weight is after WLS. It really is a gift, isn't it? WLS allows us to participate in our lives instead of jus****ching from the sidelines.

I love the before & afters with Johnny Reid. You look spectacular. I actually went to see his concert a couple of weeks ago. Keep in mind I really knew only two of his songs (Darlin' and Higher). I thought it was the absolute best concert I've been to. He really comes across as appreciating his fans. I'd go see him again in a heartbeat!

Congrats on all your success so far. I can't wait to read the next update.

Thanks so much...this is exactly how I feel, like someone took a big ole bow and gift wrapped me!! 

So glad you enjoyed the show. This was my 5th time seeing him in concert, but also saw him on the set of Canada Am at a live taping.

He truly is how he comes across...he is the most sincere artist I have met, and I have met many

Wow, April!  You've really come a long way.  And it'll just keep on getting better and better.

Had RNY surgery July 22/11, St. Joe's Hamilton, with the awesome Dr. Scott Gmora.  Had abdominoplasty August 2/13, Scarborough, with equally awesome Dr. Michael Kreidstein.

April - if you are up to it, walk down the stairs at Signal Hill and walk the trail around to the Battery - so worth it!
Congrats on your achievements!

Oh, April - that was a wonderful post.
So heartfelt, so simple.

You're absolutely right - it's the little things like fitting into denim and taking a bus that show how far you've come.
And being able to MOVE is just such a novelty, isn't it?

I'm hooked on feeling good about myself, I have to tell you. And it only gets better!
