One-year post-op
Jan 31, 2012
It is amazing what a year can do! WLS was one of the best decisions I've made in my life... I have lost over 126 lbs since surgery and down 150 lbs total from my highest. I haven't had any real complications other than occasional diarrhea if I eat something with too many sugars per serving and early on I threw up a few times by eating too fast and/or not chewing enough. I was able to walk quite a bit in the summer months, but I haven't really exercised in the last few months. I cannot wait for spring to arrive so I can get outside once again to walk! Continuing my exercise program is a must for me to keep the weight off.
I went from a size 28 pants to a size 12 and a 3x shirt to a 16. My immediate goal is to lose another 4 lbs over the next few months with my ultimate goal to lose 9 more lbs which I hope to do by the 18 month post-op mark...
