I Was Almost As Wide As I Am Tall

Mar 20, 2010

 

Pre-Surgery Photos With My Fabulous Nutritionist & Rock Star Surgeon:

Two years ago, I was almost as wide as I am tall; I was a prisoner in a wheelchair due to my bad knees. I had zero confidence and was very fatigued all of the time.

Today, I'm very active and able to walk and walk and walk. I'm an avid swimmer and usually average about 300 laps when I'm able to get in the wah-wah (about three times a week in the winter and almost every day in the summer). I also do various exercise DVD's; my fave is Zumba. And I still enjoy the Richard Simmons "Sweating To The Oldies" tapes. Additionally, I enjoy all working out with many of the shows on FitTV.

Even better, I'm almost 200 pounds lighter! Plus, I've lost 114.875 inches since March 30th, 2008. I still want to lose about twenty-five more pounds (maybe thirty). However, I am less than two pounds away from my surgeon's goal. If I never lose another pound, I am much healthier than I was twenty-four months ago and would be content with where I am.

So far, I've had no plastic surgery; but would love to when the budget allows for that. Right now, we're adding a garage onto our home and closing in our existing carport to make a new den. So I'll have to wait until next year to finish "remodeling" myself.

Anyway, this has been a wonderful journey; and I absolutely love, love, love my RNY! I couldn't have done it without the support of my friends here at Obesity Help. You have helped me tremendously with your support and friendship.
