Long overdue blog
Aug 12, 2011
It has been a long time since I have updated this page and for that I am both sorry and not sorry. I am sorry because I do want to keep everyone informed of how I am doing and I am not sorry because I have been out living my life in a way I haven't seen in 20 years and I haven't been home on the computer much. I can't put into words how very happy I am now. To say this surgery was a success is an understatement. It has completely changed my life for the better. I have so much energy and zest for life that I didn't have before. I am looking good and feeling good and eating well and just so very very happy I could burst. I am down to a size 8 dress and I wear a size 12 jeans now. I am coming from a size 26 jeans and dress. So this is just unbelieveable. I just weighed myself this morning and I am 157 pounds down from 285. It makes me cry every time I think about how far I have come. Working out is no longer a chore I love it. The next part of my journey and is the tummy tuck. I know it is called something else but I can't spell it nor prounounce it so tummy tuck it is. I am trying now to convince the insurane company to pay for this and it isn't easy so cross your fingers. It will take me 6 months to do this but by December which will be a year from my surgery I should be having my last and final surgery. Once my belly is gone I can be completely content. While the extra skin in other places bother me it isn't an issue because I would rather be healthy then worry about some extra hanging skin. It is what it is. I just want to fix my stomach because I am tired of tucking. lol I will try to do a better job of updating this page because this website and forum has helped me emmensely and I want to return the favor to those who are either just now considering this or going trough it now. This group is a wealth of knowledge that I turned ot a lot and the people are great. I am now living my life in a way that I never thought. I eat to live now not live to eat. I now understand the part food played in my becoming morbidly obese and I have worked hard on my issues so that it never becomes one again. It is a journey we all are on. It is a journey worth taking and I am so proud of the person I am becoming. Thank you ObesityHelp.com for all you have done to help me find me. I love you for it!
