5 Years!

Dec 16, 2012

I had my surgery on November 26, 2007. 

That was 5 years ago.  WOW!! 5 years, hard to believe.  My surgery was easy.  I never ever have had one complication from day one.  I've been vitamin compliant consistently.  I will say I never made it to goal.  Yup, I'm one of those.  Do I feel upset because of this?  Sometimes.  Am thankful that I was able to have surgery?  Always!

Year 1 and 2, lost most of the weight then.  Stayed true to the rules.

Year 3, I started to gain some weight.  My intestines must have figured me out and rerouted my absorption ability.  I will end up working on weight gain for 1 1/2 years.  As always, easy to gain, hard to lose.

Year 4, I had low iron, had an infusion and best of all had plastic surgery!  Iron level had maintained over a year now.

Year 5, has started off with a bang!  I just got my labs back and my entire blood work came back in NORMAL range.  Consistency pays off!  I have 6 pounds to lose to get back from that year 3 weight gain.

While I might not add to my blog too much anymore, I am on OH almost daily.  It helps to keep me grounded by keeping the surgery in the front of my mind.  I never want to forget.  I also weigh myself daily.  It helps with accountability.  Tight pants are not cool!

Happy Holidays!!
