9 years since RNY - time has flown!
Mar 09, 2014
It is hard to believe that it has been 9 years has passed since my RNY. What a wild time it has been. I am at a stable place in my life and I love the fact that WLS has given me a better life. It is wonderful to have a supporting husband who joins me in my fun new adventures as well. Who would have thought 9 years ago that I would be kayaking, snorkeling, walking long distances without difficulty, and smiling all the time would be my life? Well, not me and I am happy that I have the ability to do all of this and more.

It's an 8 year surgi-versary!
Mar 09, 2013
It is hard to believe that it has been 8 years since I have had gastric bypass! I often see myself as the still obese girl who has not changed. But I have changed! I make wiser decisions on my food intake, wiser decisions on my exercise plan, and wiser decisions with my health in general. I have even made wiser decisions on my life plans! I am finishing my education and looking to learn more. I have found out that true friends love you no matter what is going on in your life. And I have learned that I want to be around for a long time for my new grandson, Bodie! The possibilities are endless and I hope that those possibilities continue to present themselves not only to me but to everyone who makes positive changes in their lives!

OH Costa Mesa!
May 26, 2010
The OH Convention in Costa Mesa was totally awsome! Some of the best talks were this year! And the vendors were wonderful! I really needed to get myself back on track and to be kind to myself at all times. One of the best parts was see my online friends again and to reconnect with them. I always feel that this is what keeps me motivated and happy and ready to face life again!!! Gastric Bypass Barbies, Dolly and Bariatric Girl are the best ever! What true champions of our cause! I hope to be like that one day.... a champion for all of us!

It's a beautiful May Day!
May 02, 2010
It is now the 2nd of May. And I am feeling a little "fluffy". I have just started back to working out since foot surgery and een though I am the same weight, I am not feeling the same. I am a little bloated and have started on new Pro-biotics. What a great feeling! Not so bloaty (is that a word?) But it is better. I also am doing much better on the supplements and the healthier eating. More protein that is quality and very little carbs. Hate the dumping. I can't wait to go camping in the next few weeks!!!! I am so there!! Maybe I wil pics of me and the DH in the new kayak! I am so happy about that.
Christmas 09
Dec 26, 2009
What a crazy Christmas! I ate too much( by WLS standards) and need to get back on track. But what a lovely Christmas. I was with my family at various times of the day and enjoyed all of their company! I hope everyone else had a blessed day!
Home from Alaska
Jun 06, 2009
We recently came home from out Alaskan Cruise and what a wonderful cruise. We went through a rainforest, saw glaciers so old and so blue that you could only stand in awe of the wonderous sights and eating enough salmon and fish that I think I now have gills. My DH and I are home now and can really enjoy the cruise again by looking at the pics. What a wonderful time we had. We spent that time with 5 other couples and had such fun. We are looking forward to doing that cruise again.

Look at what's new!
Apr 30, 2009
I just had to write in the journal today. I feel like a million bucks. Have been working out more (at least trying) and still trying to lose more weight. I just want to feel better about me. The DH thinks I look fine. He loves me for who I am. But I am feeling good and just wanted to put it in writing.
It's a wonderful Life
