I'm now two years post op. I'm 180 pounds, down from 311. Has my life changed in the last 2 years? Well, let's see now, shall we?

First of all, I look completely different. I think differently now. I have finally allowed someone to love me (which I could or would never allowed). I am engaged (!!!). After25 years, I'm considering resigning from my position and returning to school for a 3 year program as a Registered Massage Therapist. I have moved in with my fiancé in a different city and have put my house up for sale.

Is it a wonder I'm on the verge of a nervous breakdown? Loving this post RNY life of mine!!
