Another year is coming to an end...
Dec 29, 2011
What a year this has been. I started out 2011 swearing that I wouldn't make any resolutions that I couldn't keep and I will do the same thing for 2012. 2011 was such a life changer for me and 2012 will see me continuing down that road I hope. I don't know what I would have done without this surgery, I am so grateful for my second chance at life. These are some of the things that changed for me in 2011.I had my surgery on May 30th.
As of today, I have lost 115lbs and over 53 inches off my body.
I am no longer afraid of chairs in restaurants, movie theatres or anywhere else that is unfamiliar.
I can ride a bike again.
I climbed a ladder yesterday.
I can sit with my legs crossed comfortably.
I can walk my dog more than 3 kilometres without getting tired or sore.
I have gone from a size 32/5x to a loose 20/1x.
I no longer have to tilt the steering wheel up in my car to get out.
I have a much better relationship with my bathtub.
People are starting to not recognize me and once they do they tell me how different I look.
I have made so many wonderful friends through OH and my local support group. I am so thankful for each one.
Things in the "boudoir" are amazing! Who knew??? LOL
My kids are noticing that I am doing so much more with them.
I rode a swing at the park.
I can wear high heel shoes/boots just because I feel like it.
If I think of any more I will add them on but those are the major ones that come to mind right now. Below is a comparison picture of me before my surgery this year and from a few weeks ago when I hit the 100 lbs lost mark. It never would have been possible without my RNY. Happy New Year to everyone :) I hope your year is happy, healthy and prosperous!
