One Year today

This is my story and my story only, I do not advice anyone to do this the way I did.
   I was 54 at the time of my surgery and had been dieting off and on for 40 years, I was sick to death of dieting and really couldn't do it any more.
   Some people say this is not the easy way out but for me it totally was.  I did not diet I just ate less cuz my new tummy won't let me eat alot and I am totally satisfied. I haven't started excersing yet but I paln on it. I have lost 45lbs I am 15lbs from the goal I orginally set but I really don't care if I get down that low.  I feel good, am off all diabetic meds and wear a size 10.  I only weighed 192 when I had surgery so did not have a massive amount to lose, for those that do I hope you listen to the vets that tell you how to do it. 
   I am soooooo glad I had surgery it is so freeing to not be battling your weight all the time, I REALLY LOVE IT!!!!!   Best of luck to all of you.
   I am going to try and figure out to post some pics but I really did not want to let this day pass with out posting something!!!!

Congratulations on your success so far. Everyone's journey is different so thanks for sharing. Looking forward to seeing your progress pics!

Congratulations on your 1 year mark! My day is coming up shortly and I am 13 from my goal but it is not biggie,  I feel good and love the new me!
