One Year Anniversary

Jan 04, 2011

  Dear Blog... well it's been a year !! I've lost my job, moved to RI, started law school, oh and just had plastic surgery PHEW ! ... all in all nothing but good things in my life have come as a result of having the gastric bypass.   I am really enjoying school, i'm recovering from my Dec 23rd, Breast lift and augmentation as well as abdominoplasty.   I will say that the stomach is more uncomfortable than the boobs and the swelling is pretty bad, but.. the Dr says i'm healing nicely and I got the green light yesterday to start wearing the abdominal binder and a sports bra ! (yeah !)
   2011 is the year of "focus" for me. I'm still about 20 lbs from my "dream goal" but... for me that number is just a number. I actually feel very good about myself where I am right now !  I had to laugh when talking with a law professor of mine.. she said something about her weight and followed it with "well I'm sure you don't know what it's like because you never had to worry about your weight"  LOL.... SURPRISE... I'm a gastric bypass patient !! I love to carry my drivers license and show people that IT CAN BE DONE !
    I met a woman at the Dr's office yesterday who invited me to a gastric bypass social at her house on the 15th.  They have a nutritionist coming and it's a chance to get some other ideas about what folks are eating etc.    I am going to try to go... with two young children and law school, there's not a lot of spare time anymore (as i'm sure is evident by the fact that I haven't been too good about posting to this blog), but I think it's important for me to try to stay connected if at all possible.
    I've vowed to myself that i'm "never going back" and of that you can be sure ! But.. nothing is to say that I can't learn a little more about healthy eating  right ?
     Happy new year..........you deserve all the good things coming your way !
