A Year out or maybe Two....

Jun 16, 2009

Hi guys!! I have not added to my blog in awhile and I since my 1st anniversary of the switch part of my two part surgery is in a few days I thought i should sit down and write.  I am so busy and that is amazing to me. Two years ago I could not walk across the room without pain and today I can barely find time to sit down at my computer. Amazing!!

i went to my doc abut a month ago fo my yearly check-up (surgeon) and at that time I weighed in at 181lbs. Last week I weighed 174  so I have lost a total of 248lbs. My Doctor said he would have never recognized me if not for my chart. I barely recognize myself, but it is not the way I look, but the things I can do and how i feel that are so different for me. Here are just a few changes.

Before I wore a size 36W Now I wear a 12-14 in JEANS which I never wore before.
Before I worried if i would fit or how I would look doing things Now i do what I like and could care less what people think.
Before I could not play ball or anything with my kids now they have to ask me to slow down and wear out before I do!!
Before I never walked anywhere now I walk everywhere.
Before I hated to be seen by old friends now I love it.
Before I did not work now I am going to be working in a daycare!!

What is really strange is that as I try to think of things to write i find it really hard because i just live now and there are so many changes that I barely recognize the person I used to be. I am still me inside, but I am so much happier and more confident because my body is not holding me back. 

I am planning on losing 25 moe lbs and then having plastics as I need them to get rid of a lot of extra skin.  Then I will see where I am and go from there.

I give God the glory for this because it is Him that keeps me and enables me to do anything I do.

I do love my DS and i hope that anyone reading this that is living in a body that has become a prison reasearches this surgery and honesly considers having it as it will change your life. Hugs to all my friends and all of you that i am yet to meet-amy
