Trina, your post honestly brought tears to my eyes. Do you know how happy I am for you and just how proud of you I am?

You have built a beautiful garden wall (you know what I'm talking about), maybe it isn't as high as you first planned but that doesn't make it any less beautiful....any less of a success.

You are a true inspiration to many....a true success, because you have been able to grab hold of life and live it. Don't ever, EVER look at yourself differently, my dear friend!! You had this surgery in order to live and that is what you are doing. You have reached your goal! You not only are living life, you are taking it by storm and I couldn't be prouder of you!!

I've watched you struggle, have quietly worried about you, have cried tears with you but I truly feel a peace and strength from you that I haven't seen before. I'm no longer worried because I know you will be just fine!!

*tight hugs*

Happy surgiversary, my TT sis!!!!!

Yay, congratulations! It is so good to see you posting and so happy and healthy. It is great to see someone two years out still losing the occasional pound and not gaining and just generally being successful in all ways. You're an inspiration! I really hope I am just as positive and successful as you when I am two years out. I look forward to continuing to hear about your life as time goes on. Be proud!
