Great article on the B-12 deficiency--kind of sobering.
And Margaret, I appreciate your post so much. You really captured that mix of elation and grief that I encountered in my own life WL journey. I've had a tendency to transfer my addictions, too--too much spending on those nice little clothes, too much travel, hence too much debt--stopped doing that two and a half years ago, and am living within my means and paying it all back--and I have to say that drinking is a big temptation to me sometimes. WLS makes me an insanely cheap drunk, though, and I hate not being able to remember what foolish thing I did--
I'm happy with my choice to have the surgery, it's opened my life up in wonderful ways. And, I'm just plain happy. Still working on being present and appreciative each moment, instead of waiting for--now what was it I was waiting for?
