I had my surgery on December 15th, and I already see a change in my personality. I will say that losing weight made me happy and sad. At first, I was in a real pity party because I was dealing with not eating food that I wanted. I'm still dealing with that, but not half as bad as before. As I lose the weight, I see myself starting to shine. I walk tall now, and like to look at myself in the mirror. I am also happier and not as negative about things. I've also noticed that my husband acts a lot happier around me...almost like a teenager. He loves me as I am not matter what, and has told me that several times...but we all know that men are visual creatures:-) I just feel like someone said before...a butterfly spreading my wings! I'm sure there will come a time when men might give me attention...and that's when you really need to stay at ground level...I'm sure there are things we will all have to watch out for.
