I'm baaaaack

Starting Over
on 3/10/08 8:25 am

So, it looks like I've missed a bunch of "goings-on" on the WA board while I was in Hawaii. I'll catch up soon. I just wanted to share with everyone how my first real post-op vacation went....EXCELLENT! I couldn't wait to sit my much smaller booty in the plane seat...and I did so with ease. NO NEED TO PUT THE ARM REST UP! I brought my seat belt extender just in case I would need it...and I never did. I was so excited I made my hubby take pics of my tummy and the plane seatbelt! I was more active, and got to enjoy so much more than I usually would on vacation...even hiked up a volcano and snorkeled. And yes...I wore a bathing suit, and wasn't the least bit self conscious.

I still have a long way to goal, but just wanted to shout to the world that I am so happy. I don't regret my RNY for one second. It has given me back a "normal" life and I couldn't be happier.

Welcome back we missed you, and I am so happy for you woman, how awesome, Hawaii...I remember the first time we went, I swear the seat was for smaller people never even entered my mine that I was to fat for the seat, talk about a tight fit, if that seat wasn't bolted to the floor I know it would have stuck to my arse when I got up... I am so excited for you and happy that you had a wonderful time. You will be posting your pictures on your page right? you better I want to see you in Hawaii.... Talk to you soon Hugs Terri
