Happy 1 Year Anniversary To Me!

July 17th was my 1 yr gastric bypass anniversary and I weighed 129lbs. Yay!

Wyatt

We went to Wyatt's ENT appointment today and he needs new ear tubes. This will be his 3rd set. I know what to expect and this will be the second time at the same hospital - so everything will be familiar at lt know it least. I hate having him "go under" but know it needs to be done.

We are also getting a sleep study done to assess his snoring and to see if he needs his tonsils taken out. I am hesitant to get this done and need to research how it will effect him. I have been told that it can negatively affect his speech since his anatomy isn't normal as far as his throat and mouth etc.

I'm kind of bummed that Wyatt needs more tubes. I was hoping that he had outgrown the poor drainage issue. Oh well I guess.

Panties

Weird?!

Just to record how it felt to have Eric come home and see me...weird. I had built it up, possibly others had built it up for me, but it wasn't what I thought it would be. There was no constant drool, he didn't have some strange light in his eye as if to say "oh my god here's the woman I met". There was no repeating over and over 'oh my god!".

Nope! None of that. He was in such shock that I was actually left wondering if he even liked the weight loss. I had to ask him several times if he was happy with what he saw. Finally, Eric said that my body was so different that it was like he was cheating on the old me. He likes it (I think), but he's still getting used to it.

I posted on Obesity Help about it and was happy to hear that his reaction was very common. Its just weird to not get the expected response...

Love This Quote!

"Fat may have defined me in the past, it may have crept into everything I did and said and didn't say and didn't do--but, THOSE DAYS ARE OVER, and one day SOON the world is going to find out just what's been under the fat all these years---AND SO AM I. Ready or not...",

I don't why, but this quote makes me cry every time I read it. It somehow captures how painful it has been for me to be fat and how exciting it is to be on this journey. I am so close to my goal. A goal I didn't think was possible.

Before and After - In Progress

Just for fun. I still have 10 lbs until I reach my initial goal...
