I lost some weight.

So, I had weight loss surgery about eight months ago. I did it because I was completely at a loss as to how I could go about losing over one hundred pounds...on my own. I was also pretty sure that if I didn't do something drastic, and important, and life altering, I would continue to gain weight. It was a trend I didn't see ending anytime soon.

I decided to have gastric bypass surgery and over a year later, I actually had the surgery. It was a long process from start to start. On January 15, 2007, I arrived in the early morning at Barix clinics in Ypsilanti Michigan to undergo Roux en Y, gastric bypass. I went under at about noon, and reemerged fully rerouted in the intestinal regions at about two. My mom and husband were there to see me through it, and let's not forget, the presence of God himself, comforting me along the way.

Today is just a nip over eight months out. On the day of surgery, I weighed 333 pounds. Today, I weigh 238 pounds. I've lost almost one hundred pounds in eight months. This, my friends, is unbelievable.

Some days I get greedy or annoyed that is hasn't been more, or that I have stalls, or that it hasn't been quicker. But that Lacy needs to be shut up and quickly, because I've never felt healthier, more energetic and happier to have a real life back.

I lost some weight, and I'm going to keep losing some weight, because I love how healthy feels and I hate how sick I was. And I was quite sick. And because I can't tell you how glorious it is to be back in the land of the living.
