Today is my 1 yr surgiversery!!! I am down over 70 lbs. Started this journey at 267 lbs and today I am at 191. Started on 4 blood pressure pills, 2 diabetes pills, 2 cholesterol pills. Now I only take 1 blood pressure pill and my vitamins. what a difference a year makes. I have been lucky to have great support from friends and family to make this journey easier, but it has not been easy by any means. Still want to lose 100 lbs total so I have some work ahead of me. For all the newbies- it has totally been worth it. I am so much healthier and happier getting rid of the weight and extra baggage that came with it. Yeah I have some saggy skin but it sure is fun to shop in the "regular" size departments. I can even borrow some of my daughter's clothes.
Good luck to anyone going through this process. One thing I know is that there is plenty of support and resources out there for us!

Great job!! And I think you've hit on a very valid point--easier does not mean easy. You should totally be proud of yourself!
