Life changes at the blink of an eye...

How do I even begin this post. I havn't written here in quite awhile. Needless to say, My wife and I are in the middle of a seperation and I don't soley blame it on the gastric bypass but it had alot to do with it concidering it was a life changing moment for the both of us and we just grew apart and never regained what we once had.

I have lost over 200lbs. and Im not to sure about her. We will always share 1 thing together and thats the gastric bypass. It changed our life, lifestyle and everything. The statistics read that 1 in every 3 couples that get the bypass together end up in a divorce because it is so life changing that both just end up living 2 different lives and never find a happy medium. We didn't think this would be our case but it did. We ended up as a staitic. We made a promise to each other to never let that happen but the promise was broken sometime ago.

Now that life has gone on for me. I am living a happy life working as a meat cutter for farm fresh. I have accomplished alot of my goals that I wanted to accomplish and I am proud of that for me. I wish I could say things about her, but I don't even know who she is anymore. Her entire life changed into a person I never even knew existed.

Before the surgery, we laughed, smiled and had fun together. After the sergury, we just totally lost ourselves and never found ourselves and learned to work together as a team. It's been hard for me because I blame myself for her and I seperating. I have to live with that for the rest of my life and do the best I can by moving forward now.

Her 26th birthday was today and it was the first year in 7 years that I didn't get to celebrate it with her. I did miss that. Lots of things that I miss and will miss but I know that she is living a happier life where she is now and I am to. In a way, it's better this way because of us just growing so far apart. My heart with always be with her and I will always love her but my life has moved on and I look forward to accomplishing more of my life long goals in the upcoming future....

Till next time!
Ta TA!!

Well, it's been 1 year for me today since my sergury. I have lost over 150 Lbs. and I feel wonderful. I am still loosing weight and I am not at my goal weight yet. I still want to loose 25 more lbs. I can do more with my life now. I enjoy life to it's fullist. I have done things now that I wish I could have done 1 year ago, such as going to Busch Gardens and ride all the rides with my friends and family. I do not have to stand on the side and wait for them while they enjoy them selves. I don't look foward to eating because I don't get hungry that often. I just know when I need to eat during the day. It's hard for me to beleave that this day is finally here. The day I said exactly 1 year ago to my wife " I wonder what I will look like in 1 year. Well, Here I am. Posted with this message, is a picture of me now and a picture of me exactly 1 year ago.

New pics of me!
