It keeps getting better and better!

Dec 22, 2008

Wow, this year has really flown by. Well, just wanted to give you all an update on what's been going on with me. First of all, I had gastric bypass on Sept 10th. Things are going great! I am so amazed and looking forward to the beginning of the year. I started out at 364lbs, and lost 33lbs b4 surgery. So on the day of surgery I weighed 331. Thank God for this surgery! I now weigh in at 270lbs, and feel so much better. I got hip bones, thigh bones, and tail bones that I didn't know I had. I can feel them now!! WOW....is all I can say. I can cross my legs and sit comfortably. I can bend over and tie my own shoes, and can even sit with my legs pulled up toward my chest without hurting. God is so good! I went and bought some new clothes, that looked really nice. The only thing with that is that I got a little bit more room  in them now than when I bought them. So in order to save my money I will be buying from 2nd hand stores. Cato's cost too much to be buying clothes from there every few weeks. I can't believe the changes that are taking place in my body. Oh yeah I can feel my pubic bones too....hmm interesting:) So, all together, I have lost a total of 94lbs. WOW, I am setting here smiling as I type this. I never thought it would be me on the losers bench. But I made it! Thank God I made it! I am so looking forward to other changes to take place throughout next yr. This gives me a totally new NEW year's resolution. I am so thankful for my RNY! I have a great surgeon and a good team of dr's, nurses, and staff members that help me so much, including my dietician. She totally RAWKS!! I thank God for the people that he has placed in my life and the things that he is blessing me with right now. I thank Him for allowing me to have this surgery and as of now no complications. God is just AWSOME! I will tell anyone though, this road hasn't been easy, but I am enjoying the journey! I pray you all have a blessed 2009, and keep losing:)
