Wow it's been a long time!

Mar 22, 2015

In 2 days I will be celebrating my 5 year anniversary!  I'm so proud to be where I am today 

Looking back at my life pre-op, I was having a lot of mobility issues along with obesity related health issues.  I remember not being able to walk more than a 100 feet without being in pain.  Life was miserable!  I was just existing.  There wasn't a day that went by that I didn't pray to GOD that I would have the opportunity to change my health around for the better.  

I have a great job, walking an average of 15 miles per day.  Yes, fifteen miles!  Pre-op, I never would have imagined doing this 

Things have not always been a basket of roses post op.  My husband has had a hard time adjusting to the new smaller me.  I'm struggling with the fact that I have about 30 pounds of excess skin that I want removed, yet no resources to do so.  Don't get me wrong, I love the new me, but feel the final transformation would be to have the skin removed, along with a breast lift and implants.  I really dislike the melted candle look.   If I had the means to finance it, I would in a heartbeat.  I want to be able to look in the mirror with my clothes off, and be proud of what I see.  I look good with clothes on, that is not a problem!

Would I do it again?  YES YES YES!  Nothing compares to living the life as normal sized person.
