Oh, DS, how do I love thee?

Joanie, you have more than a chance!  10 days out, how are you feeling?  Please know, it will all be worth it and you won't remember the bad stuff.  Like childbirth.. lol

Great post & update Tassia!
Sometimes we DO need to stop & remember where we started.

Thank you!  I knew you guys would understand how I felt.  It just so awesome every day!  And that helps me make better decisions and appreciate every part of my wonderful life! 

Wow'S everywhere all day long.....great post!!!

 That's what I was thinking all throughout the day yesterday.  How many things has the fact that I've lost 47 pounds affected.  I know I've let my weight affect me in ways that I shouldn't have.  But when you're in the moment, all you really think about is protecting yourself.  And in doing so, there really isn't much of life left that is "safe".

Thank you

Rock on, Tassia and thank you for sharing how "normal" (and awesome) every day is.

(It is amazing to me that now--post-op--how frequently I have good or okay days versus bad or meh days. Pre-op, it was the opposite.)

*Gives you a big high five!*

Normal is wonderful!  *high-fiving you back*!

Oh how I love this post. I was just sitting here sipping my coffee (with cream of course) and marveling over my DS and all it has given me thus far, when I came across your post. I smile as I write this cause I do know how you feel. Thank God for this little DS.. for sure!

Sammy Sammy!  I'm so glad for this wonderful forum where I could share the silly little things that add up to a wonderful day with people who get it!  We're both rockin' this thing! :)

Wonderful post!!!  Thanks for sharing and I agree - it is important to remember from where and how far we've come!
