Its Official - 6 months out

Apr 29, 2009

Well its official - I am six months out.  What to say about the most life changing 6 months of your life.  I feel like I have a new lease on life.  I no longer hesitate to walk the stairs to my bedroom - I no longer need to find that close parking spot.  In fact, I park at the first one I see.  My life is not consumed by sitting and watching TV and eating.  I am enjoying life again.  I love to go to stores and look at "normal" clothing.  Some may not fit me yet, but I know i am on my way to shopping in the normal size area.

This has been an incredible journey, not yet over, but almost halfway.  I know I have changed my life for the better.  I know that I have to make a life long commitment to being healthy.  I love it though.

I thank all the people that have supported me thus far in my journey, and I hope I will be a support and inspiration to those that are thinking about the surgery.  It is a tough decision, it took me a year after my classes at Kaiser to make the decision to have surgery.  I do not regret the decision, only the delay.

I love my RNY!!!!!!!!   Down 85 lbs, BMI from 57 to 41.  Last check down 54".
