2 yrs out from WLS
Jun 26, 2009
today is the anniversery of my life saving/giving WLSI am celebrating by going to my job...after I get home tonight I will move the party out to the pool. in 2 yrs I have lost around 260lbs. I had wanted to see myself under 200 but I find myself hanging out between 203 and 210....mostly staying around the 200 mark. I have so much extra skin that if I were to have it removed I know I would be around 170 and yes I DO have that much skin.
the arms are probably around 2 or 3 lbs each of skin...the tummy hangs down ALOT have to wear support underware for the hernia..by this winter if all the exersize im doing doesnt get my body in better shape I am investing in some spanx to wear...I hear that is real support and inche remover underwear. my thighs are bad...but I can walk without them rubbing together....and my calves are loosy goosy tooo...what does one do abut excess skin on the calves?
my goal at this point is not so much to loose more weight but to start toning and defining my muscles...it makes real sense to me...that if and when I am able to have any PS done that I should start out with some real muscle definition for the dr to work with and maybe the healing from that wont be so hard....but for now PS is not even in the thought process
so how has life changed for me??? how has it NOT??
I can WALK...no more riding the buggies at Wal-marts or anyother place I want to shop.
I can climb out of my pool....and have been swiming twice a day for the last 2 weeks...great for the arms and legs
I can Hula Hoop...LOL yes thats what I said... I am very into my hula hoops. I cant do anything fancy but Im real proud of myself that I can do it at all.
no more sitting on the potty to brush my teeth or fix my hair
no more contortions to wipe my own hiney...no more planning ahead to do simple things like grocery shopping or window shopping with the daughter.
no more sleeping in a recliner...Im not sleeping in a regular bed yet but I do have one of those double air mattresses used for camping that is very comfy and if DH leaves some air out allows for me to lay flat with few adjustments to the skin.
no more Bi-pap machine for me
LOTS more SEX...lol I had to put that one in there...after being with the same guy for 26 yrs and all that my weight has put us through we are like teenagers again and its wonderful.
I LOVE TO SHOP for MEEEE
I love to go to a store and look around know if I find something I want I can buy it for myself and wear it also. of course the kid hates this...LOL...actually she like shoppping with me..coz she doesnt like it when I find something to "young" for me.
LOL I dont care if Im too old to wear something...the fact is its been so long since I could wear anything I WANT too that I DO!!
I dont have to make sure I have someone go with me...I no longer worry about falling(getting up) or having to walk if I were to run out of gas or have a flat tire.
no wheel chair or cane.
I havent bought some high heel shoes YET but its comming Im sure
my yard looks better than it has in years because I have been out there trimming bushes and planting flowers,.
another something I havent done in years.
I am Happy about all the things i can do that I had taken for granted beforew I got to fat to do them at all.
NOW I dont take anything for grated...life is fragile and short...time to go live it again!
Watch out world...there is noo stopping me.
