Surgiversary coming up!

Sep 05, 2010

Thursday is my surgiversary. I can't believe it has been a year. I have lost 117 lbs. I am so grateful for this surgery and would recommend it to anyone who qualifies. I have been really fortunate, the only big problem is the surgery I had on August 19 to remove scar tissue and straighten out a loop in my intestine. I did have a couple of very small stalls. I don't think they lasted more than a few days though. I have had so many positive changes in the last year. I have learned that I don't have to eat myself sick when I am under stress or things are not going well. Food is not the center of my world anymore. I also know that this is up to me to keep my weight off. There is one area I really need to improve on and that is my exercise. I need to start walking again. It will be easier now that it is cooling off. I have become much more outgoing, and have much more confidence. I am really enjoying my life. I am very content!  I don't need near the amount of sleep I used to need. Which is incredible, I used to need at least 10 hours every night sometimes more, now I sleep 6-8.

I am posting now because I will be in Las Vegas next week and my Mother is having problems with her computer.
