I am not sure if I will keep up with this anniversary thing. I am doing very well. I eat normally and I look and feel great. I got a full time job that I love and I am so happy in all areas of life. I continue to be thankful EVERYDAY for this surgery and what it has done for me. It is the best thing I have ever done. I truly am blessed. My self esteem is tremendous. I love to shop for clothes and I can wear anything I want (including bikinis). The only reason I haven't posted pics on here is because I kept my surgery a secret from alot of people and I don't want to be "found". You never know who may stumble upon this website etc.

I will try to check back next month, but life is busy and to be honest, sometimes I forget that I was ever fat!

Well, it has been a year, and what a year it has been! I feel like a different person. I feel like the girl I was always supposed to be. I have been maintaining my current weight for the past few months and that is fine with me. I am so pleased with the results. I look fantastic and my confidence is amazing. I can wear things that I always wanted to wear and couldn't (like a bikini!). 
I am still looking for a job. I am still with my wonderful boyfriend. Things are pretty good.
I am so happy with the surgery. It is the best thing I ever did for myself. If I had it all to do again, I would do it!
I don't really have anything else to say at this point. I just cant believe that a year ago today I was having surgery and today I am so healthy and happy and i look fabulous! God bless RNY. It really did save my life in so many different ways.
I will say this last thing...I have come to realize that looking good is great, but I thought that being thin would make everything in my life better. This is really not the case. I still have all the same problems that I would have if I was still fat. I just look better...so, what I mean is, this surgery was an excellent thing for me to do, but I thought it would solve all of my problems and it hasen't. It was silly of me to think that everything would be better in my life if I was thin. It helps, but it wasn't a "cure all."

How nice that it is a leap year and I am able to celebrate my 11 months on the actual date!

This month has been ok. I went for my annual and my doctor said that I am doing wonderfully and that I am beyond where I should be. She said I look fantastic and that I don't have to come back for a year. She said that I can meet with the nutritionist if I need to between now and then and that if I find myself gaining weight, it will be easy to correct.
I can eat more and I can eat just about anything...this is really not a good thing. I have to be careful. I am not a health nut and I didn't have this surgery to become one either...my doctor did say it is normal to have an appetite and to eat more food.

I feel like a million bucks. I will write more next month as it will be my 1 year anniversary! I can't believe how quickly time has gone by!

Ok as far as my weight goes, things have really slowed down and I am ok with that. I feel great and I have been able to maintain which is terrific. I pray for the strength and willpower to stay where I am or to continue losing but not to gain! I can eat alot more now and pretty much anything I want. I get sick still so I do have to be careful. My big issue, I think, is that I drink with my meals. I just act like a normal person. I actually forget that I had this surgery sometimes...it's really weird. I feel like a "regular" person and I just do things that regular people do...like drink with meals. I decided that it is time to start exercising. I want to lose 15 pounds more or at least stay where I am and that should help.

I am still looking for a full time job. Things are getting better though and I am so in love with my boyfriend, so of course everything is all rosey and great.

Thats really about it. I went to NC to visit some friends and it was really fun.

More next month!

Wow, what a month. I went to Florida and had a great time. I had a job interview and it went pretty well. I have to wait until the 2nd week of Janurary though to find out if I have to come back for a second interview. Wish me luck. I really need full time employment. Why is it so hard to find here?

I met the guy I am gonna marry! He is amazing. He is everything I ever wanted and more. I am so happy. I have decided to stay in Buffalo instead of relocate because he has a great job here and I want to be with him. He is THE ONE!!

Christmas was great and I know that 2008 will be the best year so far. I am so excited about the future. I only lost 2 pounds this month. I am not really upset about it at all. I am just happy that I am still losing. I am really pleased with my body. If I never lost another pound it would be ok with me. I am just afraid to gain. I ate like a piggy this month! I mean I had alot of no no's. I am gonna have to be more careful from now on. I don't want to gain back any weight.
That's it for now! I hope you all have a wonderful new year.

I am doing well. I feel like I am living the life I always was meant to live. I had a slow month weight loss wise, but it's ok...if I never lost another pound, I would be ok with it. I am so pleased with myself. The hardest part is going to be maintaining since I can eat ANYTHING I want.
I am still subbing and I love it. I am also leaving for Florida in 2 days and I am pretty excited!
Thanksgiving was really nice. I did not feel deprived at all (probably because I wasn't).
Not too much else to report. I am happy and healthy and loving life!

Well, there is so much to report. I had my birthday and also went on my cruise which was awesome. I got very drunk in Cozumel and got my belly button pierced...at least I was coherent enough to ask for a pink jewel (my favorite color). I drank like a fish on the cruise. Rum Punch is my new favorite drink, yummy! Food wise, I ate whatever I wanted but I couldn't fit much in and I decided to drink instead.

I started subbing. I really enjoy it. I would like to find something more steady, but for now this is good and I can put it on my resume which will probably help me get hired in NC.

Things are going ok with the new bf. He is probably Mr. For Now and not Mr. Right though. I will have to wait and see.
I went to a Halloween party on Saturday and I was a playboy bunny...who would have thought that just 1 year ago I had made the decision to have this surgery and here I am today, a different person!
I am now in a size 7/8 and I can even wear a pair of size 5/6!!

The weight loss has slowed down alot and maybe it's because I eat more and I eat all kinds of things...but I am still losing. I know that I am going to be one of those people who have to work very hard to maintain the weight and not gain. I am prepared for that. To be honest, if I never lost another pound, I would be ok with that. I look and feel awesome. Guys have been calling me a "hot blonde" it is just so cool. My confidence is wonderful and I am so thankful everyday for this amazing opportunity.
