1 year out....

May 18, 2009

Well it's my 1 year anniversary and I'm finally really glad that I had the surgery done.  To date I've lost 139 lbs and have approx. 36 more lbs to my goal weight.  My weight loss had reduced to approx. 6 lbs per month.  I've been testing low on most of my vitamin levels but  due to a significant change in my financial situation I honestly can't afford to purchase the vitamins that I need.  For now I've switched to prenatal vitamins and am trying to supplement with other vitamins I can purchase locally.  I finally had to get rid of all my old clothing because it was so big.  I started at a size 30/32 and am now wearing a size 16.  I'm struggling with how bad my body looks right now but am not to the point of considering any surgical skin removal yet.  I'm waiting till my wieght loss stabilizes for a while.  If my financial situation hadn't changed as it did I would be taking the correct vitamins and be alble to afford some clothing that fits, but for now I'm just greatful that overall I'm healthy and feeling so much better.
