Hi, I am new to blogging so please forgive my mistakes. I had my surgery over 8 months ago, and I am so happy. I didn't realize with all that weight, how much it depressed me. I have become a more confident person. I think I was hidding behind all my fat. I still have some issuses with how I view myself, but I also am more willing to speak up for myself. Before I didn't think I was worth much. I can't believe how much difference 60 lbs can make. I do owe alot of my new found self to my bariatric support group, and my friends at the YMCA. I hope the next time I write I will be able to say I am finally below 200 lbs. It is so close I can feel it.
