39 wks Post Op: 9 Month Surgiversary!

Well Well Well, its been 9 months so far and I couldn't be happier. I am in a small state of shock that it has been 9 months already, I could of had a baby in the time it has taken me to lose the first 90 lbs. I am glad that I haven't had a baby yet. I in no way wanted to experience having a baby at 309 lbs or even 272 lbs. I wasn't happy then and my body wasn't prepared to care for a growing new life. I am at a place in my life right now that is so much better than 9 months ago.

I couldn't have imagined what having WLS would have done for me. I am doing the things I would have never thought possible before. WLS saved my life. Its not the easy way out as outsiders like to think, and those who having don't the research it takes to live life with WLS. I do have to watch what I eat every time I put something in my mouth, I cant eat sweet foods of fear of dumping and getting sick. I have to me extremely careful when I drink now, because of side effects of drinking are so much stronger. I need to drink plenty of fluids because dehydration is always around the corner. I also exercise 4-5 times a week to make sure that the weight still comes off. I love exercising my new found love that I was sure I would love if ever able to accomplish it and that is RUNNING!

I love Running I love how freeing it is on your mind and your body. I am using the C25K Program to train to run a 5k but I am also using it to learn how to run and prepare myself for running as a daily activity. I am almost finished with W6. 

This past weekend I had one of the greatest NSVs to date! I crossed off Riding the ride at an amusement park  from my bucket list. Saturday Aug 10th. Isaac had taken me to Cedar Point to finally ride the roller coasters that I hadnt been able to ride on since I was in high school and my weight climbed to 309lbs. I decided to ride the oldest roller coaster in the park first the Blue Streak, we got in line and waited about 15 mins to finally step up to the platform and board the coaster. When I step on to the cart I pulled the seat belt up from the seat sat down with room to spare buckled the belt with no problems and pulled the lab bar down over my lap. I has so much extra room I was getting ton of air under my butt when on the ride hehe
