Two years post-op

Mar 31, 2010

What an amazing two years it has been!  I have had my ups and downs, but the ups outweigh the downs by far. I have had to learn how to go from the "losing" frame of mind to the "maintaining" frame of mind. It was somewhat challenging, but I seem to be doing it. My body seems to have finally adjusted to a comfortable weight. I am half the weight I started at but I am twice the person. My life has expanded to include so many things that my husband and I do together. Things we did before I became obese. We hike, we dance, nearly every weekend, we ride 4-wheelers, water ski, and on and on...My life has expanded while my waist line decreased!

I am so happy with the choice I made two years ago. I wouldn't change a thing. I feel comfortable in my own skin for the first time in many years. I am a normal weight for the first time in years. I have a normal BMI for the first time in years. I have people telling me I am tiny for the FIRST time EVER in my life!!! Who would have ever thought??? I certainly never imagined this was possible.

THANK YOU to my many OH friends who have supported me and encouraged me during this amazing journey. You will never know how much you have helped me!!!

Still thinking about making the step to have WLS??? DO IT! Your life is worth it. YOU are worth it!!! I was worth it!!!
