IT'S BEEN A YEAR! PICTURE UPDATE:)

By LaBelle509

· 1,995 views

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO ME!!!! ( Picking up mic) I want to take moment and thank God.... LOL!!! No seriously THANK YOU GOD ALMIGHTY!!! I was so worried about complications, infections, leaks and most of all FAILING!! To be at this point right now in my journey, I can safely say I DID IT!!!! I have been the same weight for the past six weeks or so. Going up and down two pounds. But strangely enough I don't care. The scale doesn't bother me. I am content with the way I feel, the way I look and life and general.

 

I WAS OFFERED A NEW POSITION AT WORK AND I AM LOOKING INTO GOING BACK TO SCHOOL!!!

 

Life is great and amazing and I am living again....

 

next goal: A BABY :rolleyes:

 

PS. 1st Pic: on the left was taken Dec 2011. Picture on the right was taken 5/24/13

2nd Pic: Left was taken hours post surgery. Right was taken 5/25/13

    You're so beautiful! (Both before and after!) You look happy in the hospital pic where you're walking around. It gives me hope that the hospital stay won't be so bad. :)
