Today is my 2 year Rebirth day!!!

Hi all, Two years ago today, I had my surgery. Today I am feeling so completely wonderful that I need to share. I can honestly tell you that all of my pre-surgery dreams and desires concerning my outcome from WLS have all been either met or surpassed. I am feeling wonderful, happy, and humbled. I thought that I would share some of my losses and gains with you, so here goes: I have lost: 225 pounds. 28 inches in my Chest 29 inches in my Waist 30 inches in my Hips 1.3 inches in my Wrist 2.7 inches in my Forearm (Total Loss of Inches in these 5 areas = 91 Inches!) The morbid feeling that I wouldn't live long Buying and taking 6 prescription drugs a day being humiliated and embarrassed about my size The need for buying at fat-girl specialty stores A negative outlook on life I have gained: A new wardrobe Self confidence Extra attention from my girl A sense of truly living that I didn't think I would ever have Respect from others who admire my accomplishments A promotion at work Pride in myself A membership at a gym Appreciation and enjoyment of exercise Sitting anywhere I want, wherever I go A positive outlook A new smile A lot of wonderful WLS friends I am going out tonight to celebrate with friends. Gonna shake my butt and boogie till the cows come home! WOoooooooooooooooo HOoooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Best, Amy
