Butterflys are a great symbol of WLS patients. Like the caterpillar, we move slowly. We are not particularly attractive - and most of us are a bit round. Soon, we enter the cocoon stage, where we hide from everyone and everything, and EAT and SLEEP. Then, when the time is right, we emerge from the cocoon, spread our wings, and when they are dry, we fly off, seeking summer flowers. I love the analogy, and can't think of a thing that is better. So, first the butterflies in your stomach, and in your thoughts - pretty soon, you will have them in your heart, and you will be so proud of yourself, and feeling darn good, too!" Best of luck. Don't forget to wiggle your new wings. :) May God Bless You and Yours.![](http://images.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/pics/f/fischer-julie-tx-1fc.jpg)

Donna, Just a quick note, wishing you well and Godspeed healing during your recovery. You will be back on your feeting doing things that you haven't been able to do in a long time as a result of your WLS. You hang in there my friend!![](http://images.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/pics/b/barlow-shannon-B1041521908-1fc.jpg)
