Almost 2 years Post Opt.

Dec 10, 2009

Time sure has flown! Last year this time, we were crossing our fingers for my mom's RNY surgery date and now, she is down 100 pounds. I can't believe that in March I will be 2 years out. I already have my 2 year app. scheduled for St. Patricks Day and I'm nervous to see how my labs turn out, especially since my husband and I would like to start a family this spring/summer.

So, about 2 years out and what's different? EVERYTHING! I'm really living my life now. I can shop where I want-however, at times trying to find a XS and a size 2 pants is equally as frusterating as trying to find the bigger sizes. I had no idea how much all the weight I was carrying around was holding me back. I do not, for anything, regret having this surgery. One thing that has stayed the same is the mental struggle for me to get myself to the gym. At 260 or at 135, the mental struggle is still very preset-especially at the end of a long work day, with the cold, dark days approaching. I try to just tell myself that their will always be an excuese, always be something on tv, I'll always "go tomorrow". I just try to get my mind set and go ahead and go. Don't get me wrong, once I'm there I'm fine and I workout-it's just getting there that's trouble for me.

For those thinking about WLS or about to have it- put one foot in front of the other and keep walking. I continue to believe that its the single best thing that I have done thus far in my life!

Health, Wealth & Blessings!
