Welllll - here's to a year!
Its been a year.... WOW, it really is hard to believe that its been that long. Sometimes it seems like yesterday.... and some days it seems like light years ago. Either way - I would do this process OVER AND OVER AGAIN - without a blink of an eye. I won't lie - somedays - SUCK!! BUT --- Most days are - AMAZING!!
If I could give one piece of advice to anyone reading this it would be......
~DO NOT COMPARE YOURSELF TO OTHERS~
It will literally drive you CRAZY....
Otherwise, this is a learning process... You need to figure out what works for you. What works for others does not or will not necessarily work for you.
The only thing I do know for sure - is that llife does get better (for you beginners out there)
One of my main issues to date is....
When I was bigger I had a bold personality with a big mouth.... Now I have anxiety when I am in a room with people. So I have changed a bit - unsure of where I fit in these days....
But I am working on this....


My before.... 281# ---- My "after" for now .... 166#
Best of luck to ALL the newbies out there... AND thank you for all the words I needed to read from the Oldies BUT Goodies - that are still here. I aprreciated everything I read every DAY!!

I just noticed that Dr. Selwyn is your surgeon! He's doing my RNY next week Wednesday. I really like him and his staff. I think his program makes a lot of sense. I'm glad you're doing so well, and I hope to be doing as well as you are this time next year. :)
you look great!
