3.5 yrs later
Jul 27, 2011
It has been 3.5 years since my surgery. I lost a total of 192 pounds. I have maintained my current weight for 2 plus years now. It feels good to have maintained a healthy weight that long. Most of my life I spent gaining weight, not maintaining.
I had my first of 3 plastic surgeries in December of 2009. I did the tummy tuck with full body lift. WOW do I love the results.. This winter I want to have my thighs done; lastely, I will do the breast and arms. Can;t believe I turned out so vain. :)
So since my surgery things I have done: lost 192 pounds, sold my home, got a divorce, became a grandma, adopted my grandson (long story but I am so totally happy it just weigh me down emotionally), completed my masters program, took a new job, started dating.
Guess it has been a very busy 3.5 years. Sometimes it helps to feel some accomplishment by making a list of what you have done.
I don't visit this site as much as I did the first year. The first 6 months it was my lifeline and sanity. Now I just pop in to check on friends.
I am thankful I made the decision I did to have surgery. Everyday I feel an overwhelming happy feeling, find energy to go go go, and desire to experience new things. Life is great!
