My 1 year journey

May 31, 2011

Wow, I cannot believe I am 1 year post op already. I still look at my self in the mirror and wonder if I will ever see who is looking back and who is that hot chick anyways. LOL My appt with Darla and Dr. Jeff went wonderful! After talking to them and getting a great pep talk I realized I am to hard on myself and need to give myself more credit for how far I have came.  I thank God everyday that I have had no  complications except for an ulcer but we think it was there before surgery anyways. Life has not always been easy this past year but with the support of my wonderful husband and family, I have made through the 1st year of the new me. 
      ME........who is me? that is what I struggle with at times. Before surgery I knew who I was and where I wanted to go, that was easy because my only goal for many years was to get back on my diet, loose weight  and get back into my size 10 jeans. Well guess what? I can wear a size 8 sometimes a 5!. It's sounds wonderful(and it is don't get me wrong) but when all you thought about for years was to be skinny and feel pretty again and to finally have all that plus some, plays a number with your mind.  I do love who I am and I will admit I walk down the mirror isle at Target just to look at my butt (my husband now knows just to head there) I just wish my mind would forget about the old me but Dr. Baker says I need to give it more time and it will come.
My Marriage could not be any stronger, my kid's love the new Mom, and friends and family are always there.......... I am very blessed to have a second chance at life.
