One year post surgery

Sep 21, 2011

Well I have passed the one year anniversary of my gastric bypass.  I have visited my surgeon for my 12 month check up.  I am proud to say that my weight loss and blood work were excellent.  I have lost a total of 232 lbs since I started this change in life style.  I am currently working out 5 times a week.  My surgeon says that it is a 5 year plan of maintaining the weight.  I am ready for the next phase of this new life style.  I have had two glasses of wine about 7 weeks ago.  Nothing since.  I have become more adventurous food and beverage wise.  I have a decaffineted coffee with skim milk and one splenda three times a week.  Before I just had my protein shake and water the rest of the day.  My marriage is awesome these days.  It is a lot more enjoyable being a smaller weight and improved flexibility if you know what I mean.  Anyhow my next goal is to run in a 5 k.  I need to start training for that this fall.  I am so thankful that I had the courage to finally have this surgery and have the resolve to maintain for the rest of my life on this planet.  Good luck to all of you.  Life is excellent a year post surgery.
