thoughts from the past 13 months

Jan 28, 2009

I have been so blessed in my life to have been able to take this journey.  I had WLS 13 months ago and I feel amazing.  I have lost over 100 pounds and I am within 20 pounds of my goal weight and I plan on being there before summer.  Losing weight has always been hard for me, and still is even after surgery.  I may not have made my goal weight in a year but I will before 18 months.  I am so excited for what this has opened up in my life.  I owe so much to my family and friends for all the support that they have and continue to give today.  I am now a graduate from the PN progam and I take my nursing boards on Feb  5 and I am so excited to start a new life for myself, and hopefully one where I can have a social life.  I am moving to a towm where people do not know me or my past so I am hoping that it will help me be able to find a man who I can spend the rest of my life with.  I am now doing things that I never in my life thought that I could accomplish, and it is all because of this amazing journey that I have had the prevelage of being able to take.  I had surgery dec 07 and I then started the LPN program Jan 08 and I made it, even though I was still sore and having problems from surgery and ajusting to my new lifestyle.  I made and I am so thankfull for what I have been able to do in my life.  2 years ago I never would have dreamed that I would be active again, and enjoy life.  I wear a sixe 12-14 and that still blows my mind away, and I still have 20-25 pounds left to go before I hit my goal weight.  Thanks for being with me this far in my journey and I hope you stick with my as I continue on this amazing journey after I started a new life with the tools to diet, exercise and lose weight thanks to my surgen and WLS.
