5 Month Post-Op
Sep 10, 2009
Hey EveryoneJust wanted to drop a blog to let you know that I am doing good. At 5 months post op I have gone from 270 lbs to 193 lbs and down from a 22w dress size to a size 12. I AM FEELING FABULOUS! My blood pressure is normal, I have no more joint pains, I can climb stairs without getting winded and I got a grandbaby on the way that I will be able to keep up with, so life is good!
Me and my husband just celebrated our 3-year wedding anniversary on Sept. 7th and we had such a wonderful evening out on the town. We got to enjoy the jazz club and got to hear the 18-piece Harlem Renassanice Band. They were spectacular!
This club speciaized in 'Swing Dance,' now mind you, I dont know a thing about swing dance and let alone haven't danced for years; But me and my husband were seated at the table for dinner watching everyone else, when one of the Swing Dance instructors calls 'me' out to join him on the floor out of all people, I nearly DIED!!!!
For years I avoided the dance floor because I wobbled more than I danced but I was so honored that he pulled me up and started teaching me a few steps right then and there and the audience went WILD! Oh God I had so much fun just to laugh again, I felt like a million dollars that night. (see photos)
My husband later joined me on the floor when the band acknowledged it was our wedding anniversary and they dedicated "Satin Doll" to us as we shared a romantic dance together, singled out, on the dimly lighted dance floor. Oh it was so beautiful, I felt like a teenager again as eyes adored us from across the room.
I tell you guys this because it is enchanting, it is inspiring, and it is wonderful to live LIFE again!!! To create memories that will last a lifetime. To celebrate all the good in life instead of complaining about it...I love each and every one of you and I celebrate all of your victories with you. Stay inspired, stay healthy, and stay encouraged through it all. And remember ulookfabulous!
