YAY

It is my one year surgery anniversary! It was one year ago today that I went under the knife for the first time in my life. I had a gastric-bypass. In the past year I have learned things about myself that I never thought possible. So are good things. Like damn my ass look really fine in a size 16/18 pair of pants and now I adore attention from certain butch types. And, other things not so good, such as the attention I get from men when I walk down the street and the consent battle that woman have to endure day in and day. But, because, I was a big, bald, fat dyke I never really had to deal with such details. It has been an amazing journey. I have lost a total of 130 pounds in a year. My weight is somewhat steady now but I am still slowly losing. I now look forward to meals without dreading the fact that I am going to choice the wrong thing at ever single moment. I feel great now that I can wear heels again and my feet are not killing me by the end of the day. Now I even ENJOY working out. It has been truly amazing. I am blessed. But, of course this does not come without a price. Gastric bypass is not the easy road that everyone thinks it is. I am preaching to the chore with some of you. But, with others understand that for someone who gets over 300, 400, and 500 pounds most the time it is not just the fact that they are fat and lazy. Most fat people have to do double or triple the amount of work a small person does just to "prove" themselves to society. The rules we have setup for being thin is disgusting. We should not have to be thin to be happy. We should have be healthy to be happy. So, here I am a year later... and so much more happy and only because I am healthier. Thank you everyone for your support. New Pics...
