I started my weight loss journey weighing 277 lbs. I am 5" 3".  At my one year Surgeon follow-up appointment I weighed 127 lbs.  Pre-OpMay2006.jpg May 2006 image by trina_davis_photo  I had lost 150lbs. Typing those numbers are incomprehensible to me.  I cry when I think about it, it overwhelms me. I just begin to weep.  This picture was taken in May 2006.  The blouse is a size 3X and the skirt is a size 24/26...

  I have reached my goal weight.  Actually my surgeon would like me to weigh 125, I wanted to weigh 115.  In my mind I was thinking I have 10 lbs worth of room for fluctuation.  It has been 19 months since my surgery.  I weigh 118.  I am very happy with that number and will probably push it down to the 115 just so I can tell myself I can do it.. 

  I have had some bumps on my journey.  Some of them have been worse than others.  You just gotta sloooow down when you see the bump, go over it real slow, to receive the least amount of damage.   

  If you have anything you would like to ask me please ask me...  If I can't answer the question I will find someone that can....

I was a lurker on this site for over a year and a half.  I decided to become a member on October 21st, 2006 which was 3 days before my WLS.  I was scared to death and thought maybe somehow setting up a user account and posting how scared I was to go to the hospital the night before might somehow comfort me.

  Well it really didn't "comfort" me but in someway made a difference to me on the inside that I had broadcasted to the world that I was getting ready to go get some medical assistance to help save my life and I was scared to death. 

  It has been over a year since that fearful post and you could not possibly understand the changes in my life over the past year.  The reason you could not understand is because there are no words that I can find to describe my new life to you.  I can try and try but I just can't find them in the English language. 

  I started my weight loss journey weighing 277 lbs. I am 5" 3".  At my one year Surgeon follow-up appointment I weighed 127 lbs.  You see I have lost 150lbs and even typing those numbers are incomprehensible to me.  I find myself crying often when I think about it, it overwhelms me and I have this overwhelming feeling come over me and I just begin to weep.    

In this year of healing I have purposed in my heart that I am going to change my social interactive behavior that morbid obesity handicapped me with for so long.  I no longer just want to lurk and read about other peoples ups and downs.  I want to be a participant.  I want to be the one that is encouraging someone else that is so down trodden with physical humiliation that it affects every part of their social being.  Trinafat05-19-06.jpg image by trina_davis_photoI have learned something pretty valuable through this journey.  If you are going to put yourself out there just be prepared for some not so positive experiences.  Kind of like life, we have to take the good with the bad...  Just try to learn from those things and the next time life presents you with a negative situation you will be a whole lot smarter and a whole lot wiser.
