Sep 11, 2009

Well, its been a couple of months. I cant believe how much my life has changed since surgery. I am able to do all the things with my family that I have been dreaming of. I can get in and out of our boat easity now. I didn't like going before because it was to hard to get into from the water.. In August the family and I went to California's Great America and I rode every single ride. I rode Top Gun twice because last time I had gone there pre-wls I had to get of because I couldn't fasten the restraints. It felt so good to be able to do that with my kids. My 15 year old daughter and I go clothes shopping together. Sometimes we go window shopping just to try things on. I would have never done that 120 pounds ago....the fitting room had been my nightmare! I can buy clothes in a regular strore now.....even Forever 21! I have a whole new wardrobe, but half of it is from my teen-age daughter's closet.....how awesome is that??? On the downside I do have sagging skin, and have to buy vitamins and protein drinks, but it is a small price to pay. I have lost a total of  129 pounds in 10 months. I have 27 more to go, but if I don't lose another single pound I am completely satisfied! I am under 200 pounds, which i havent been since I was a teenager. Thank you for sharing my journey!! My only regret is that I didn't do this 10 years ago, but I would do it a million times over!!
