Where does the time go?
Feb 07, 2011
I simply can not believe it's been almost 3 years since my surgery. I look at pictures and although I have all the painful memories of being so large, I don't honestly remember being that way, hope that makes sense. I can remember going into a place to eat and looking at the booth praying I'd fit, I can remember waking up in the morning and my feet crying as soon as they touched the floor, I can remember going to an amusement park and sitting while everyone else rode the rides, and I can remember how I had zero confidence in myself. Now, that all those things and so many more are just memories, my life seems to have taken a whole new direction. I sometimes still feel like that other person, but it doesn't last long. The self confidence is the most wonderful part, when we are so overweight we lack so much of that, we have zero self esteem, and can't see a good thing about us as people at all. Losing weight has done so much to help me in this area, not to mention my body and health. I'm still not where I want to be, and need alot of plastic surgery to help get me there, but I am the happiest I have ever been. To anyone thinking about wls do it! It is a life changing experience, I would yell it from the highest mountain, don't let fear stop you or anything else for that matter!
