Hello Everyone,
Just thought I would check in and drop a line or two. Everything has been going GREAT for me. Still no luck in a full time job, but I'm hanging in there. When the time is right I am sure I will be blessed with what I need, when I need it. Check out the new picturs I have posted of myself. Still getting use to my new pouch, but I'm loving life. I've been to Kings Dominons once, and Six Flags twice already this summer. I'm loving it. Sure feels good to stand in line and not have to worry whether or not I"m going to fit in the rides or not. I am down to a size 10 clothes from a 26. I'm still amazed. Each day does present a new challenge though, but I'm trying to hang in there. I REFUSE to drink sodas, stick only to water and every now and again some unsweet tea, but I hardly even do that. Still struggling with taking all my medications, but I'm coming along just fine. Haven't been to the ER in about 3 months, THANKS BE TO GOD!!! I just started a support group in my area that's once a week. I love it. I get to chat with people who actually UNDERSTAND all the BS that I go through. The negative comments I get from people, the distant friendships, all the stuff that ONLY a person who's had this surgery done would know about. I do appreciate other people trying to give me advice, but they have NO clue what is like until they have been there. You can prepare yourself all day long, talk to others, get advice from the doctors/friends, etc. but until you have walked a day in my shoes, you have no clue. Everywhere I go, now I gotta here "how much more weight you trying to loose", "how much smaller you wanna be", "what you eat today", "how much you weight", "what size are those pants?" Who gives a shi*...............
I am happy, and that's all that matters. Everyone wants to know what my fiance thinks of the NEW ME! What is he suppose to think? He loves me for me, and that's all that matters. I'm still the same person he met almost 2 years ago. Only a real man would change after I lost the weight. If that was the case he wasn't real to begin with. Of course he's happy for me, he loves me. It wasn't about him, and I didn't get this surgery done for him or to please anyone else. I got it done to PLEASE ME, and to make myself happy. People ask me all the time, "did you really have to do all that to loose the weight". I want to say, what the F do you think? I mean, get real. If it was that simple do you think after all that I have been through that I would of put myself through this, if it was just a matter of cutting back, dieting and exercise. Everyone is different. No two people are alike, I don't give a shi* if they are twins. What works for one, does not mean it will work for another. If you are content in your diet program and exercise, then more power to you, push on! I did what I knew would work for me. No one knows me better then I know myself. I have been through alot since I've had this done. Lost friendships, lost my full time job, been sick, in and out of the ER, surgeries after surgeries, popping pills all day to feel better, etc. I have NO REGRETS!!!!
