Three Years Postop - WOW!
Mar 08, 2013
I celebrated my 3-year surgery anniversary last month. I really can't believe it's been that long. I am so appreciative of all that I have gained (and LOST) with the surgery. I have gained the wonderful feeling of being comfortable again with my body and not spending each and every day feeling literally like a big fat loser. I think I have incorporated healthy eating habits into my routine, taking into account the special needs of my new tummy - protein first! I still get my labs checked every 6 months and I am very religious about taking all my vitamins & supplements. I am down about 95 pounds from my highest weight. I now weigh about 135-140 pounds, give or take a few depending on how good I've been.
I am a big advocate for bariatric surgery. I really think that it changed my life for the better and gave me many more years of healthy and active living. I don't regret for even one tiny second having the surgery.
