Guest guest Posted August 3, 2001 Report Share Posted August 3, 2001 Dear Buds Saturday, August 4, is my 2nd year anniversary for my WLS. will be arriving tonight and leaving Sunday morning so I won't be spending much time online...so I wanted to share my anniversary with you a day early. I can hardly believe that it has been two years!... What an unbelievable journey it has been. I went shopping (again) yesterday and bought size 10 jeans (Gloria Vanderbilt and New York ). I am 5' 7 " tall. I have gone from 306 pounds to 161 (-145 pounds). Most of the weight loss was during the first year, with only the last 20 pounds coming off during the 2nd year. Although I would like to weigh in the 150's, I don't need to lose any more weight...just maintain. I have gone from a tight size 3X to a size 10 or 12. The biggest change comes from within in myself. I am a happier more self-confident person who is truly enjoying life. I like myself!! This last surgery (the TT and boob job) makes me feel like I have arrived...the journey for me is complete. Although I still have major discomfort when wearing tight clothes, I can tell that I am going to really enjoy tucking my blouses in, wearing sexier outfits, and having these perky tits! As the scars fade, I know I will look good ....even nakkid!! Right now, I look at myself naked and am amazed at what I see. My body is awesome for me....for a 53 year old ex-obese woman! Saturday night I have invited my mom over for a celebration dinner. This will be the first time she meets . I wanted to have my mom celebrate my " rebirth " because she has been my rock. She has been with me during the toughest times and supported me in my decisions. I am extremely grateful to have her and hope her excellent health continues! I give thanks for this surgery (and the doctors), for the tremendous changes it has made in my life, and for the wonderful friendships I have gained with my surgery sisters. Everything with is splendid! He is what I have been waiting for. I have been waiting to find a " conscious " mate. For those of you who haven't been in therapy you may not be aware of that term. To be " conscious " , means to be very aware of your wounds, your emotions, your feelings, your choices, and to be able to talk about them to your partner. I have never had such a partner before...and it is a bit unnerving, but awesome at the same time. is truly an evolved male, who is sensual, sexy, fun, considerate, authentic, available, and has a high degree of integrity. He also loves to dance and is a great dancer!! I asked him last weekend if he wanted to date others, and he said no!! I asked him if he had the time and desire to develop a relationship with me...and he said YES, YES. So, I don't know where we will end up...but we are headed in the right direction. If it is meant to be...it will be. Buddies... thank you for being here...and just being you!! I love you guys, Carla \ / \ 0 / oo ( ) / / \ \ Happy Dance! ***Carla*** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
