Before I go into my 1 year surgiversary "speech" I need to thank/acknowledge some folks. So please bear with me. God - He had this planned for me from Day 1. He never gives more than you can bear and He never makes a mistake. Sean - my husband, my soul mate, my better half (and I mean that). I could NOT have done this without him. He dried my tears, held my hand, ate sugar free popsicles with me, and cleaned me up. Not one time did he ever complain, he never made me fell less than what I am - His Princess. What God has brought together let no man put asunder. Zoe - my babygirl. She gives me a reason to live, to smile, to laugh and to love. My parents and siblings - they have always been my biggest supporters. I've been blessed with the most selfless, humble, courageous, and God fearing family anyone could have. My In-Laws - for loving me, helping me and just being there. JK & JD - there aren't enough words to express my gratitude and love for these two individuals. The relationship has transcended friendship and is now family. I believe that to find a friend is a true blessing and I have been touched twice. I love you both from the very depths of my soul. Auntie Shari and Auntie Glenda - XOXOXOXO OH family and C&L family - thank you for accepting me, loving me and even disciplining me when I needed it. You are an integral part of my life and I hope that I give the same support that is shown and given to me. Dr. Cantor, Dr. Gibeily, and Dr. Passmore - without you this wouldn't be possible. If I missed you blame it on my mind and not my heart. I started this journey at a whopping 245 lbs (I'm 5'1'), my BMI was 46.3 and I was extremely obese. I wore a 20/22 or XXL top and an 18/20 pants. I had high pressure, was developing diabetes and sleep apnea. I was unhappy, unhealthy, and unsuccessful and any other "un" you can think of. I was 28 years old and I was killing myself. Enough was enough - I prayed, I cried, I researched, I reasoned, I debated, I talked, and I prayed some more. I made a decision...WE made a decision (me, hubby and God). And I stand here today, on my 1 year surgiversary, high blood pressure free, diabetes free, and sleep apnea free. I am 14 lbs (-10), my BMI is 27.2 and now I'm slightly overweight. My tops are a med/large (still have the breasts), my pants are a size 4, 6, 8 depending on the designer. My shoe size went from an 8.5 - 9 to a 7- 7.5, my rings dropped 2 sizes. Aside from the physical changes - I can play with my daughter. I can go down the slide with her. I can go through the play tunnel with her and not worry about getting stuck. I can chase her (and catch her) without wondering where all the oxygen went. I am a better mother, wife, sister, daughter, lover, friend and person. I am free!! There is no feeling like being free. I have the rest of my life ahead of me and I plan to live it to the fullest. Check me out : www.kbbeforeandafter.shutterfly.com
