5 years since I had Surgery
Sep 09, 2013
WOW, has it really been that long? I must say this has been a journey. Life keeps you so busy that updating here never gets done. If it wasn't for the email reminder I probably wouldn't have updated this morning. I lost 80 pounds with weight loss surgery within 1 and 1/2 years. I kept the majority of it off. From 260 to 180 and I am 5'7. As you see in pictures I looked very thin.
Advance 5 years and I am 200 lbs with a 10 month old baby boy and the same man who was with me before my surgery who is now my husband. I would like to lose 20 pounds, but I take it day by day. I wouldn't take anything back from my experience. Maybe focus more on nutrition and get better informed on keeping my iron up.
Don't think this is a magical experience. It is HARD, and you will laugh, cry, laugh, cry and cry again, but in the end you will be a better you. I'm here for support:)
