Happy Anniversary to Me!
Jun 14, 2010
I sent this out to my friends and family last week but forgot to post it here.Today is the 1 year Anniversary of my surgery. It marks the day my life changed. Some people think gastric bypass surgery is the easy way out. They could not be more wrong. This was the hardest thing I have ever done. If you are receiving this email you have witnessed my struggle and have seen the beginning of my transformation. It means You have helped me with your kind words and encouragement and I truly appreciate that. At this time last year, today seemed like a million miles away. I could not have imagined how I feel today. I still have a long way to go but I really feel like a new person. It would have been unimaginable to me that I would be able to walk without getting out of breath, swim 3 times a week, dance the night away at a wedding, go up a flight of stairs and not have to look for the elevator and just have energy to do things that seemed like an impossibility for me last year. I'm so grateful to God for giving me this second chance at life. I'm so happy that my family no longer has to worry about my health and that they are proud of me and my accomplishment. I won't go into numbers and pounds because honestly that is no longer important to me. It just matters that on most days I feel GREAT!
