14 months post op..

Jun 15, 2012

Hello everyone, well I am 14 months post op and have lost 176lbs. My BMI when I started this journey was 67.3 it is now 39.8. This has been a incredible journey I am proud and blessed to have a supportive family that have been here for me from the beginning and they continue to be on a daily basis. Thank you!! I feel great physically and emotionally, I work out 5 times a week and have decided to attend a meeting to see if I am ready to walk for the cure, yes i am hoping to be part of this incredible event and raised funds to help women all over the world. This would be one of my personal goals so wish me luck!! ; I wanted to share something that happened today at work that really upset me, as i was walking to my desk a co-worker who was talking to someone else looked at me and told me how great I looked, I thanked her said good morning and as I was walking away the other young lady went on to say " well the weight I have lost I have done with out surgery" OK what was that about, I don't know this person and why is it that people are so willing to judge others? I say educate yourself on the issue before you open your mouth. why is it that people think that when you have WLS you wake up in recovery many pounds lighter, I have worked very hard  exercising , eating healthy, vitamins, in-taking the protein our bodies need, charging my way of life. So to all that read this and run into what I did today don't let it get you down, keep looking forward and keep moving forward.  If you have been through something like this please give your opinion,
