Its been one heck of a year!

Dec 30, 2008

Where do I even start? This time last year I never would've though having WLS would change my life this much. I still have a ways to go but its been an amazing ride so far! I have lost 141 lbs so far (about 40-50 more to go, depending how much skin will need taken off). Went from a size 4-5x in tops and 32 in pants to an Large-X Large top to 14-16 pants. Would love to see a single digit pants before I am done with this. All except for a couple of the 20+ pills a day before I had surgery, the rest are all gone!! No more diabetes (they say you will always have it once you are diagnosed, but my bloods sugars are completely normal and even run low sometimes). My back doesn't hurt as much, my legs feel better, well heck EVERYTHING feels better. Now If I could get rid of all this nasty extra skin and maybe get some boobs I would be sooooooo happy lol. 

My family has been amazing through all of this. They have been by myside through all of this (as much as they can be with most of them not being in the same state) and I know it hasn't been easy. Especially in the beginning with my moods going way crazy and then the complication I had with so much internal bleeding. I swear the first month or two I felt like I was a physcho or something, so many little things set me off. Thank goodness that went away lol..

I only wish that I could go see my family down in California so they can see me in real life in front of them and see all the progress I have made and oh I wish soooooo much that my mom and my finances mom was here to see me. They never knew I was going to have this surgery but I know they would be so proud!! And the most important thing I wish they were here for is we are officially engaged!! We have been together for over 6 years and on Christmas Eve he proposed to me, down on 1 knee and everything! I am so happy its unbelievable!

For those that are reading this I wish you the very best 2009 and that all your dreams come true and that your health is #1 priority.

Happy New Year!!!!!!
