TWO YEARS POST-OP, BABY!!!!!!!!!!

Dec 08, 2009

So, I had my 2 year anniversary on November 26Th!  Hard to believe it has been 2 years but time does fly!  I have composed  list of the good and the bad with my journey with WLS:

THE GOOD

1. I made the decision for the betterment of myself and no one else.
2. I great friends that saw me through and who supported me!
3. The confident person I have always been, is just bigger than life but still humble.
4. I rock a size 8 and folks call me "Skinny."
5. I can climb the stairs to my apartment without the need to catch my breathe
6. Buying new clothes every 2 months or so!
7.Its okay, to order salmon at every restaurant I go to! 
8. I can stand up with my legs together and my thighs not touch!
9. I feel bad and lazy when I don't get my workout in for the day!
10. Crossing my legs for the first time in a long time!  Not just at the ankles.

THE BAD
1. Folks assuming you took the easy way out, by having WLS! PLEASE!!! Someone tell me when it gets easy.
2. You can, at time, lapses and forget your tummy is small and eat too fast or too much.
3. You miss the taste of beer  ... but not the calories
4. You see others that are supportive of your journey, and lose friends.
5. Remembering that its a tool and it work 24/7.
6. The expense of buying new clothes every 2 months or so!
7. I have actually lost dates due to my weight loss.  I usually can convert them either way!
8. Now that you are thin, guys want to take you to eat or get you pregnant!
9. Seeing other struggling with their weight and you can't help them, but only able offer your encouragement.
10. Paying for RTD protein every 2 months...but hey! there is hardily any groceries in my fridge anyway.
