Smile Great Journey

Hello fellow TT friends

I am been AWOL for too long. I am been enjoying the new found attention and weight loss. The weight is melting away and I feel great. I have surpassed the regrets and now know this is the best thing I could have ever done for myself. I am going thru self relflections and build self esteem every day. I can't wait to get rid of my ex and start a whole new life for myself with a new body. I get side track on days and remind myself that the journey is beginning and to stay on point. I have lost friends and fight battles with jealously everyday. I can't believe how life long friends can change when you become a new person. You would think they would be happy for you but instead say stupid stuff like ... "You dont need to lose any more weight" . So I respond with WTF.. Go jump off a bridge.

I am only 47 pounds from goal and have been blessed with no complications, no hair loss, or no vomiting. I just need to thank everyone on this forum for the threads, supports, and help since I joined. I really could not have done it with out you all. I read the threads each day and know this surgey saved my life and yours. I pray everyday that a new person gets approval to change their life.

To all those just starting the journey, please stay focused and positive because it will be the best gift you can give yourself....

Happy New Year everyone

You are amazing! Congrats to you for today and your very positive future. I have not had my surgery yet...but it has been a blessing having found this forum.
My cousin had the surgery 12/05. She has lost 130 lbs. I saw her for the first time yesterday... WOW! I can believe how beautiful she looked....I could tell from our conversations over the last year (on the phone) how happy so was. I could hear it in her voice but yesterday was the first time I was there to see what a transformation between mind body and soul.

Don't let jealous friends take anything away from what you have accomplished for yourself....You deserve to be healthier, happier and all the other wonderful things that come with the new you.

You made this choice...so can they... this surgery takes courage...

God Bless YOU>

Hey glad to see you.....and you sound awesome!!! I have to say, trying out the new body is a treat. I feel the same as you.....more attention, more energy, more health and vitality. Ain't it great. Let's pat ourselves on the back for some hard work well done.

Congrats on your success and realizing it! You have done a great job. Don't worry about the friend situation... like I mentioned on another post, GB can help you weed out your true friends...
