I just realized the last time I blogged was New Years Day. Ouch! Well, my only excuse is that I got a job on 1/2/09, and it took up my free time. However, it was short lived, and I am job hunting once again, so I have a little time to write.
I think my weight loss has finally stopped....and that's a good thing. I average around 122lbs and wear a size 4. Never thought that I would be this small. Yesterday I saw the son of some of my friends that I hadn't seen in about a year. He's in his early 20's and I've known him pretty much his entire life. He said, "Wow! You really got skinny! You look great!" I appreciated the compliment!
For those of you who are doing your research and making decisions, I encourage you to talk to as many post ops as you can...join the message boards, email, whatever. I can't tell you that your experience will be just like mine, but you can get an idea of what is ahead of you by talking to many of us. I consider myself very blessed to have had the MGB, and to have lost all my excess weight. As I near the 2 year mark, I remind myself to eat healthy foods, take my supplements and vitamins and to try to get some regular exercise. I want to make sure that 10 years from now I am still wearing these size 4's.
I recently celebrated my 51st birthday, so I guess I am officially over 50. Not to mention that I will be a grandmother in August. Life sure does fly by! I am happy though, and look and feel better than ever.
Spring is just around the corner. The daffodils are poking their bright little heads up, and the willows are shooting out their bright green leaves. I love Springtime in the mountains. It will be nice to get some warm weather and get out and about and enjoy the outdoors.
I wish you all a Happy St. Patricks Day, and a spectacular Spring!
Enjoy life!
