To say I have felt completely loved over the last few weeks is the understatement of the year. My family, my friends, my work colleagues, etc. - everyone has come out to support me in this endeavor, and I appreciate all of them more than they will ever know.
What I have been most surprised (and touched) by are the people that read this blog either here (or updates from Facebook) and support me without me even knowing them. Also, there are many people who have told me they have also had weight loss surgery, and offer themselves as a pillar of support. Wow - I know I have always been that type of person to be supportive, there for someone, etc. without them ever asking. I didn't realize other people were like that too. They are completely selfless in their support, and my God, it is so appreciated. Today I had a wonderful conversation with an old friend from high school. She mentioned she also had the surgery, had lost over 170 lbs, and offered her support if I need it. I was completely touched and humbled by someone sharing that with me, as well as offering to be there if I had questions. She looks amazing, by the way, and has already given me a few tips regarding stuff to expect in the next six months.
Thank you to all of you wonderful people out there! Without you this journey would be a whole lot bumpier :)!
Hugs to all!
