100 lbs - give or take a baby


ahhhh i just wrote a whole blog post and then somehow erased it! So I will try to be as eloquent as i was -- -but you know the patience to recreate the brilliance is short. So in short - in November 2009 I had gastric bypass surgery. And by June 2010 I had lost 100 lbs. and gone from a size 20 to a size 11. Which was kind of funny how that went because I had lost 60 lbs before I even starting changing sizes. I guess the body just takes to catch up. But by the time the changes were noticeable, the baby business came along and the weight stuff became a slight non-issue for a while. But I thought i would share what I can....i don't have alot of photos of me now and considering i'm 5 months prego and only getting bigger, I put what i've got. i'm about a size 12 now with my waist slowllllllllllllly making its way out. anyways. since i'm scared to move this post to the top and lose it again - the pics are first and i 'm sure most can tell which are the before and which are the afters! if not - please ask someoen else becuase i'm slightly intolerant of stupid questions.
But I will say this - I feel awesome, my health is awesome, I can run 30 minutes straight and probably more if my gym time was longer. Some personal health issues have been aleviated and i'm so happy i did this. And since this is my personal blog i figure I can put my own opinion on here. If you are addicted to food, can't or won't lose all the weight on your own, do what is best for you. You are the only person that matters and you and your health are worth it. I am very blessed to have had the opportunity/insurance/doctors/and support to be successful and very happy. And only getting bigger with my little Cabezon:D
