Long overdue update with pics....
It seems like forever since I've been on here. I have been so busy living life since I have lost weight and become more mobile & independent. Since starting my weight loss journey nearly 3 years ago I have lost over 357 pounds and gained my life back. I am now going through a divorce after nearly 15 years of marriage. I have never been alone and always feared it but I'm actually loving it. I am in my second semester of college studying accounting & getting good grades. I can drive, play with my boys, even fit on a swing at the park. If not for my weight loss I would still be stuck in a horrible marriage & pretty much trapped in my home, sitting in a wheelchair and being cared for by family members & home health aides. There have been so many ups and downs along the way but I don't regret a thing. I've gone from being stared at & laughed at in public to being hit on and asked out by guys as young as 21. Talk about flattering lol. Each day I learn something new & write a new page in my journey which is far from over. But I am loving life and living each day to it's fullest.
This is how far I've come from July 2010 to March 2013...
May 2010-572 pounds June 2010-572 pounds
July 2011-393 pounds April 2012-321 pounds
January 2013-221 pounds February 2013-216 pounds
June 2013-572 pounds February 2013-216 pounds
Lap Band with Greater Curvature Plication 1/10/11, Conversion to DS 8/20/12
WOW!! What a transformation and what a blessing!!!! I am SO VERY proud for you and of you. AMAZING!! I'm scheduled for my DS on April 3rd and am SO ready to not be miserable anymore and to be able to get down in the floor, hold in my lap, and ride amusement rides with my two 3 year old grandbabies, Alivia and Grayson.. And that just a few of the many reasons I'm choosing WLS.
God's Richest Blessings, Sweet Lady
