Wow! I can't believe it!

Feb 06, 2011

I can hardly believe that I am 16 months out! I can remember when I never thought I would even HAVE the surgery at all! Thanks be to Allah, that He allowed me to get it and change my life. I h ave more energy, less aches and pains, and every morning I wake up, I dont have to psyche myself up to get out of bed and do something. Whenever I look in the mirror, I cannot believe that this is the same person of 16 months ago; who was overweight and miserable and a type 2 diabetic. I see my thinner self and I feel like I am looking at a stranger. Who is this person?

That is kinda my goal for this year; to find out who this new me is. I know I am very different and have new goals and ideas for my life; even after 40. People say they lose the weight but they are still the same person they always were. That is a lie. I know that I am not the same person I was before surgery and neither is anyone else. I am so much happier a person since my surgery and I don't regret it one bit, even thought there have been bad times as well as good after surgery.

My little monkey turned 3 last week and I am so happy to know that I can enjoy him as a thinner Ummi and not a tired one. I remember how when he was first born, how tired I was all the time. Now, I canget down on the floor with him and roll around and not be afraid I won't be able to get back up! I love the "new" me!
