Well, last Friday, February 6, 2009 was my one year surgiversary.  I am so thankful that I had the gastric bypass done.  I am so much healthier than I was was a year ago.  I had my vitamins and a1c checked and it all was good.  A little low normal on vitamins and 5.5 on a1c. I started at 254, end of January 2008, and am now 135.  My a1c was 11.3, August 2007, now 5.5.  I am now able to:

 1.  sit criss-cross applesacue
 2.  wrap my arms around my knees (and still be able to breathe:)
 3.  Run down stairs without falling
 4..sleep on my tummy without a pillow
 5.  pick up something off the floor in the van while still wearing my seatbelt and breathing
 6.  do a cartwheel
 7.  shop in the juniors/misses section at a store
 8.  Wear "hooker" boots and not feel stupid
 9.  eat just a bite or two of something sweet
10.  tell people how hard the surgery is but all the rewards are worth it
11.  my feet and legs don't always hurt, just sometimes
12.  buying pretty underwear and bras (is it possible to have too many?)
13.  I know there's more,will update at a later time
