365 Days Later...

Jan 14, 2009

One year ago, January 14, 2008... I was in a little pain and on great drugs!

A lot of people write about what has changed since surgery, they look back on their old lives, thank God they have broken free from that old “prison”, and make big lists of all the things they can do now that they couldn’t just 365 days earlier.  I mean, there are a ton of things in my life that are different now that I’ve lost over 100lbs…life is easier, it’s way more fun, people (both random strangers and your closest friends) treat you differently - better, nicer, more courteously, men react to you differently and are much more generous with casual smiles, comments and the occasional remark that reminds you you’re attractive again.  You feel inherently different even though you are the same person. Your days are oddly exciting in that you experience something new and exciting every day, even when running a simple errand.  You have an inner peace and happiness like never before. You have more confidence; more self-love and you feel outer beauty, which equates to an increase in your inner beauty.  The bottom line is this:  life is just so much better after surgery and I look forward to every day.  Life isn’t just good, life is incredible.
