The surgery will always be a huge part of my life. I'm going to need to help people with weight problems for the rest of my life so that I can maintain my weight.

You know, after all these years, it's just like we are who we are and it's a struggle for me and sometimes I'm heavier and sometimes I'm thinner.

Certain foods no longer agree with me. If I eat French fries, I might feel sick to my stomach.

Like everyone else, I have challenges.

Was I a perfect gastric-bypass patient? Yes. Was I a perfect gastric-bypass pregnant woman? No. I made a decision to enjoy my pregnancy... So sue me!

I am always cautious.

I wish I had more time to read. I do love books.
