My 3 year anniversary ! ! ! 12/12/08

Jan 07, 2009

Hi everybody,

     It has been a while since I have posted but a lot has been happening with me.  I started a new job that I could never have done 3 years ago.  It required a lot of energy and walking in the retail business.  It has been a year since my employment and I have already received a promotion.  It feels so good to have so much energy and perform my duties.  I never thought I would be where I am today.  Gastric Bypass Surgery made the world of difference for me.  I have lost 135 lbs. - - - from a size 26w to a 10.  Last February I decided to go to school.  I enrolled in an online college and I am enjoying it immensely.  I am holding a 3.56 average but it takes much of my time.  Once again, I could not have done this unless I was healthy enough to take on the challenge.

   I had many challenges in my life. The worst, losing my  husband and raising teenage boys on my own, my biggest challenge of all.  Weight gain had only made it worse and harder to cope with.  Now I am able to deal better with situation that arise.  I can now enjoy my adult sons and be a more active part of their lives as well as the rest of my family and friends.

Gastric Bypass has changed my life and made me more aware of how blessed I am to have had another chance to appreciate all that I have. 

Never give up hope.  Have faith and perservere.
