Surgiversary!

Mar 10, 2009

WOW!

Has it been a year already? My life has been so crazy lately that I almost forgot that Im a year out from surgery. Speaking of which... Time to make an appointment with my doctor! I havent had a bariatric visit in way too long. I need to get some updates on how Im progressing. A year out from my surgery and Ive lost 138 lbs since I started my journey. Its quite possibly the most amazing thing thats ever happened to me. Its given me my life back. I am so much healthier and sometimes I take it for granted how I can do anything I want now. For example... I got a job! Just started 5 days ago. Im a waitress and now that I think about it... This is a job I couldnt have done a year ago. That long on my feet at 321 lbs was an impossibility. Now of course it still sucks to do now at 183 lbs but I can! Im also really excited about my job because it keeps me moving and shaking! Exercise without even realizing Im doing it is the best kind! hehe. I just wanted to take this time to reflect and think about how thankful I am. Before my surgery I was on a road to an early death. Theres no nice way to put it, I was killing myself. Depression caused me to eat, happiness caused me to eat, hell... I tied my shoe, lets go make a sammich. lol. Its so amazing that food doesnt rule my life anymore. Thanks OH. Giving me this place to share my story. I know very few read this if anyone does at all... It just feels good to be able to say it. I still have more goals to meet. I will get there. Much love.
