2 Years Post Op... Wow :) (pic)
I can hardly believe its been almost 2 years since my RNY... 3 days from now is my actual date but its busy and thought I'd take a quick moment to post... I have had an awesome journey and I am very thankful for the new life I have now... I am no longer morbidly obese, I like working out, and I can do things I never could with all the extra weight... I am living life to the fullest and enjoying every bit of it... I am not perfect (excess skin) and have many "wants" but I am completely satisfied with my weightloss and plan to maintain my 140lbs loss with healthy food choices/portions and an active lifestyle... I have talked my sweet hubby into some PS to help the "girls" FINALLY lol... that will happen in June once my busy time at work winds down... YAY... anywho anyone thinking of or going through this process please know the road isn't always "easy" as many like to think but it is well worth the effort... The picture below is the night before my surgery and then my 1 year pic (blurry) and my 2 year pic... Life is good... God is good :)

Awesome, girly. You have always been an inspiration here.
Glad you talked hubby into the boobs. My bf had a dream recently where he told me he was "allowing" me to get them (it made me laugh- he knows he has no control over me).
