2 Years out!
Mar 28, 2008
I can't believe how much has changed in 2 years. I am now at 160 and holding steady! Thats 100lbs lost!! It's funny, I feel like such a different person, but still the same person inside. I have reaped all the benefits of being a "skinny person". I have felt a greater sense of confidence, felt like I have had a little bit more respect from others and have generally had an easier time. Also I have experienced all the many physical benefits (feeling better, hurting less, being more active more easily, etc). I still can't wait to reap one more benefit, flying in a plane. It was one of my original goals to not have to struggle with the embarrassment of the small plane seats. I never had to use a seatbelt extender, but I probably should have. Instead I would sqeeze the hell out of myself to fit into the regular seatbelt and be really, really unconfortable for the entire flight. I would also try to shove my fat to one side, so it was not hanging over onto someone elses seat (or someone else!). May 24 I am flying for the first time since surgery and I cannot wait!!!!! Did I mention I will be flying for my honeymoon to Jamaica!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Looking back, this surgery is the best descision I ever made for myself and I don't regret it one iota.
