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.  :)
