Dominican Republic 2011

Nov 01, 2011

I just returned from our holiday in the Dominican Republic.  We had a fantastic time outside of a few bumps along the way with John.  Got on the plane, put the seat belt on, no extension required with room to spare.  A beautiful thing to be sure.

I did things I never would have done prior to losing my weight.  I went snorkeling, which I Ioved.  I went on an ATV adventure tour to Playa Ricon and to top it all off I went on a Zip Line tour.  I have uploaded some photos of the zip line.  So fun but so scary.

       

I inserted a few of the photos. 

Plus while on holiday, I lost an additional 4 pounds.  I was a little worried I would gain weight, but I made sensible choices, ate what I could, stopped when I needed to, did a lot of exercising, and viola, lost weight on a holiday.   Pretty unheard of most of the time.  I am pretty darned proud of myself, I must say.

I know alot of people are nervous about getting this surgery, but I tell you what it was the best decision I have ever made outside of agreeing to marry my husband.  I am a little over 3 months out, I have lost a total of 98 pounds (which includes the preop weight loss), I zipped lined and road an ATV.  Things I would have been way to nervous to do previously.  This surgery gives your life back.  It helps you enjoy your life again.  I am living proof.   Is it hard at the beginning?  Yes it is.  Does it get better?  Yes it does.  Is it worth it?  Yes it most certainly is.

Look out world because here comes a more confident and health me.  Ready to take you full on.
