Two years post-op today
Hello fellow members......
Today I am two years post-op and down 160 pounds after having a baby even....I have sat back today and thought where would I be if I would not have had this surgery? I would never have been able to have another child and I would have been bedfast at the age of 35 and never been able to run and play with my son...Now I can do alot of things that for years I was never able to do...I run and play with my eight year old son, I had a beautiful baby girl in February and I can actually walk the mall and enjoy myself while doing so, instead of having to sit every few minutes...God has really blessed me with all the wonderful things in my life....
I will be the first one to say that being two years out is sometimes hard for me and I just have to keep remembering that I am not at my goal as of yet and that I have to keep working at it......I have to always remember protein, protein, and more protein as well as my vitamins and my liquids....exercise is at a standstill right now because my doctor has not released me because I am going through some really bad times with pain all over my body with my muscles and he does not know what is causing the pain....I try to keep moving as much as I can so I can at least get some form of exercise...I know that this too shall pass and then I will be able to get back on the right track with my exercising......
I also need to remember the saying I always say to the pre-op people...."If God brought you to it, He will get you through it." To everyone who is pre-op keep the faith because God will provide in all ways for you and the same with us post-ops, let's keep trucking we have a new life......
God bless to everyone...

Rachael, Praise God Iam so proud of you...Yes God has brought not only me this far he is brought everyone here on the board to WLS.....I prayed so hard four months ago and I thought I was going sit and die because every where I turned there was a road block in my way...SO, it does say in the bible that you keep the faith you will get back much more...Now, Jan, Brenda, Benny, Linda, and Sky have gotten their WLS date....God Bless you too Rachael and keep us on your prayer list....Craig Lee
How proud of you I am..What an accomplishment!! You have always been determined! I see such a different attitude in you. How wonderful it must be to be able to do things with your son you could never do before..He is such a sweet child..Also having such a beautiful little girl. You are such an inspiration to so many people. I am looking forward to your support in my endeavor and your sister's as well. You INSPIRE, you BELIEVE, and most of all have a genuine LOVE for people.
I am so VERY proud to be your Momma,

I will be so glad to get my surgery done in August!
And I pray that I can say that I've lost 160lbs on my 2 year anniversary!
You know I too always say that "If God brings you to it he will take you Through it" We have got to just keep the faith. Brenda 
You are doing SO WELL even with this latest snag with your nerve pain. Just think of all of the accomplishments that you have achieved.
