Camellia
2 Years already!
May 27, 2010
I can't believe that it has been two years since my surgery. It has been such an amazing ride and I have been a normal weight for more than a year now. I've gained a little this past month, 169.5lbs this morning, but I was just at a wedding and networking event. I find that alcohol really kills me these days, both in how I feel and weight gain. I normally have maybe one glass of wine every 3 months, so two in a night really made a difference. My health, stamina and blood work have been consistently good. There is some question about my bone density, but I will find out in July if it's stabilizing. There is some thought that my body is regulating it's bone mass afer losing 120lbs.Everything in my life has turned around. I've been with John (the love of my life) for just over a year and a half, and we're just as stupid in love as we were at the begining. It's his birthday today, and the anniversary of my returning to Canada, both very important events to me. So I imagine we'll be tearing it up in Banff this weekend! My business is going well, and I'm thinking about taking the plunge into a completely private optical next year. Whisper is healthy and happy and my little urban family is doing well.
If you are reading this post and considering bariatric surgery I would encourage you to do your research. This is a lifestyle you're choosing, with many responsibilities but incredible benefits. It is not for everyone, but if you have exhausted every other diet or plan and looking for a "cure" I certainly found it with the DS. What struck me about this site versus other weight-loss sites was that the people here are successful. They lose weight. They keep it off. They go on to LIVE their lives. I haven't been a very consistant contributer in the past year as my life has kicked into high-geer. I feel like I can do anything, and I wish this feeling for everyone.
Best wishes on your journey, and lots of love,
Camie
