5 Year Anniversary

Apr 01, 2013

Today I received an email from OH congratulating me on my 5 year Post-op Anniversary.  I truly didn't know that it had been that long and definitely didn't realize that today was my 5 year anniversary.  This is the first time that I have posted as well in about 5 years.  I first want to thank God that I have made this far.  I weighed in at almost 400 lbs, shy probably 30 lbs or so.  However, I lost close to 150 lbs and in those 5 years, I gained approximately 30 to 35 back.  However, I am now back to getting in my protein and working out and I have lost 8 lbs of weight I have gained back.  My lowest weight after surgery was between 219 and 220.  Because of my height, I looked rather slim, which was cool.  The weight loss helped me to defeat high blood pressure.

For those of you getting ready for surgery please know that the surgery isn't a quick fix, but a tool to use to help you get healthy.  There is still a lot of work to do after surgery, but it's doable.  I'm back on track and I'm really enjoying my life.
