I can't believe its been over a year...

Feb 14, 2010

since I last updated this thing!!  Well, its been 3 years since my gastric bypass and I've maintained my loss pretty well.  I did gain about 10 lbs. last year...mainly because I stopped exercising regularly.  I was having some medical issues that prevented me from exercising the way I had been doing.  But I lost those 10lbs. over the past 4 weeks because I'm recovering from a TAH (total abdominal hysterectomy).  It was a major surgery and the recovery has been very slow, but I'm on the mend now and ready to get back to my normal routine...including exercise.  Its harder than you think to just lay in the bed for days at a time and not do anything but get up and go to the bathroom!  Thankfully my husband has been able to take over being mom while I recover...I don't know what I would do without him!

Last summer I took and EMT course and passed so now I am a Nationally Registered EMT and I work part-time for a local ambulance service...I absolutely love it!  It is something I have always wanted to do but never had the confidence or courage to pursue it.  Losing my weight gave me that confidence and courage!

I don't really have anything else to say.  Its been 3 years and I have no regrets...I would absolutely do it again in a heartbeat...it has enabled me to be the person that I was intended to be...and I give all the glory to God because without Him none of this would have ever happened...Thank you Lord!

Till next time...hang in there and take care of yourselves!
