26 months post-op

Jan 26, 2009

Wow, it's hard to believe that it's been over 2 years since my Ruen-Y and I feel 1000% better and am really enjoying life.  Both of my plastic surgeries were great successes and I wore a bikini for the very first time in my life when I went on a cruise with my family and friends in December.  I'm now wearing a size 9 junior jeans and am so excited to be able to shop in the junior dept instead of the women's plus!!!  My new venture is looking for a pair of black leather pants. I've always wanted a pair but didn't want to look like an elephant in them, so now I feel like I can wear them and feel good!  I'm continually amazed at the comments & looks I receive from people who haven't seen me in a long time.  WOW, how good it feels to get compliments ... that's the best feeling in the world!   I have had a wonderful support team during this entire journey and have met some really awesome people.  I hope that one day I can be an inspiration to someone who is looking to travel the "weight loss road".  I've lost a total of 192 lbs and I can NEVER remember being this small in my entire life.  One very important staple in my journey is my monthly support group meetings ... they keep me focused as well as offer great ideas for maintaining the weight loss.

Take care and I'm counting on 2009 to be another WONDERFUL year!  Toni
