One Year Update

Aug 29, 2011

Wow! I can't believe that its been an ENTIRE year since my surgery. To date, I have lost 127 lbs. I am so proud of myself, as are my family and friends. I still have more to lose and a lot more toning to do, but I am much happier this summer then last summer. I have completed all of the goals I set for myself up to this point. I have gone off track A LOT, which I am not proud of, but I am slowly getting back onto the diet. My main issue right now is the protien. I am bruising very easily (which has always happened to me while losing weight), have lost a significant amount of hair and especially when I pull my hair back it shows, and am losing weight but not gaining muscle due to the lack of protein and going off track on my exercise schedule. For any of you reading this who are close to a year in, listen to this good: STAY ON DIET AND KEEP EXERCISING! Personally, I could never last without some McDonald's or a slice of cake now and then, but make it very, VERY seldom. I do not want to become one of those many people who wind up going back to their old weight do to their poor diet. All in all, I am so glad I got this surgery and GOD BLESS YOU, DR. GARRISON AND TEAM FOR EVERYTHING I'VE ACCOMPLISHED SO FAR!

love always,
samantha
