1 year Post-op

Aug 07, 2010

I made it to my surgiversary! I'm Happy, Healthy, and down 83lbs. Looking back on the past year of my life, I can truely say that WLS changed my life for the better. My self esteem has increased tremendously. I no longer sit on the sidelines hoping not to be seen. I speak with confidence and people  listen to what I have to say. I'm so much more active than I was before the surgery. Life is good!
I still have to watch what I eat and exercise, because I've noticed if I don't, I gain a few pounds, but as soon as I get back on track, it comes off again. In the beginning I wanted to weigh 130lbs because that sound like a good #, but at 160lbs. I'm in a size 8 and that's the size I remember looking my best. So if I get to my original goal that will be something new to me, and if I don't, I won't feel like a failure, because I'm satisfied where I am so far. When I went for my year post op the dr didnt seem too concerned with where I am as far as my weight. He assured me that I'm doing what I'm supposed to do and to expect more weight to come off in the future, sooooooo that's it for now. Gotta get off of this computer so I can continue living the second chance at life that I've been given...........PEACE!!!!!
