Need to share Summer of 2010.

Hi everyone, 
I just wanted to share my post surgery summer experiences w/everyone.  I also want to hear about yours.  I had the best summer that I have had in a long time.  Need to share!

 1- Trip to New orleans July 4th weekend. Essence music festival, had a blast. NSV, compliments from younger men.  I even went to the gym, tip for singles (the cuties hang out @gym) who knew pre-surgery  lol.

2- Barbecues pre-surgery 0 post surgery 3.  I even won a raffle gift from one of them.

3- Summer evening out in Manhattan w/friends pre-surgery 0 post-surgery 3.  I initiated the outings.  Had good times.

4- I wore summer dresses that I could not fit into for the last 8 years.  (wow)

5- I received more compliments this summer about how good I look that I could handle.( but loving it)

I can go on and on, not @ goal yet but enjoying the journey and loving it.  How was you post-surgery summer, please share

Jazzy,

Glad to see you are enjoying your honeymoon!!!  I somewhat remember my 1st summer post -op and I am still enjoying the benefits on RNY!

Thanks for sharing!  A good reminder for me and inspiration for me to keep on keeping one!

Hugs,

I'm so excited for you. This is my first summer too. I've loved wearing shorts and not feeling embarassed. I can exercise without pain. I can cross my legs. I've gotten more compliments this last 8+ months than I have for my whole life.
This journey is amazing. I know the work continues. I'm up for it.
Hugs~

Hi Annie,

I tell you, everytime I think about this summer I just smile.  Thanks for sharing your summer.

You are so right about the compliments, my head was getting so big I had to hold it up a couple of times.  lol.

It just feels good to feel healthy and to be active.
