My Story
November 22, 2005, I had a gastric bypass surgery called the Mini Gastric Bypass. I weighed 292 pounds. (My highest weight was 311 pounds.) I had struggled with the idea of surgery until I read the facts: that the percentage of people who had over 100 pounds to lose that lost it, and kept it off was nil. I was slowly dying.
I lost 147 pounds and my life has changed in so many ways. I am the person I was meant to be. Recently, I started to forget where I came from and lost track and gained some weight back. But like the Phoenix, I rise from the ashes and renew myself. The Warrior returns. Join me as I battle this war, and win.
If I can do this, so can you!

I thought I would share this set of photos today. I got into the biggest pair of pre-weight loss pants I had and I FIT IN ONE LEG OF THEM! What a hoot! I really am HALF my former size, I guess. My hubby thought it was hysterical and great, and got out the camera!
Will wonders ever CEASE?

Isn't that wonderful and completely frightening all in one? I saved one pair of shorts and I don't know whether to laugh or cry when I put them on now.
Great work!!!
