2 yr surgiversary

WOW.....2 years post op.  I still can not believe how much I have changed in 2 short years.  It seems like only yesterday I was on that blasted liquid diet.  I am incredibly thankful to GOD first and foremost.  It is through him all things are possible.  I am not on this beautiful journey called life through my own power.  HE has shown me the way and through him anything is possible.

In 2 yrs I have lost 100 lbs and am maintaing beautifully.  I look at pictures of the "old" me and think wow...... was that really Tanya?  Look at how far I have come.  I like to read my old post from the last 2 yrs.  They were extremely personal and very uncharachteristic of me to write such personal thoughts and experiences for others to read.  But for my journey to be complete and full, I need to share.  Over the last 2 yrs I have had some good days and some bad days...but overall I must admit to feeling very blessed for each experience.  There were lessons I have needed to learn along the way.  There were experiences that I have needed to feel and go thru.  No, these lessons were not all easy, some were down right painful, but I am a stronger person as a result of this life.  I have no regrets.  My life is full and chaotic, and loving and blessed, and funny and at times tiring....but this is my life.  THANK YOU.

I want to say thank you to Brianna and Joshua, my loving children.  They have given me strength whenever I did not feel like I had enough.  They have provided wonderful comic relief along the way.  Mommy loves you.  Who else can make me laugh at myself?

I also want to say a special thank you to my parents and my brother.  Their constant love has been inspiring.  I hope that I am building as 1/2 as strong of a family as you have all shown me everyday of my existence.  I love you.
