One year today
Hello! I haven't been on here in a very long time. But this year has been very blessed. I have lost so far 126 pounds. I had no complications from surgery. I think that's important because we normally only hear the bad things. I did have to learn to eat again, and what foods do well with me. But it's been a great year. I was a 30-32 size, now down to 14-16. Still losing weight, but not as fast as those first six months.
Very happy with my progress. I posted some photos on my profile. Not sure how to include them here, but you are welcome to look. I have WAY more energy, feel light on my feet. I recently took my family hiking, and man although it was hard, I realized I could have NEVER done that a year ago.
I am so happy!

Please consult your surgeon & nutritionist for how to do it their way. Biggest regret? Not doing this 10 years ago! Every day is better than the day before...and it was a pretty great day!
