Almost 1 Year!!!!
Jul 12, 2009
It has almost been 1 year (July 15)!!!! It has gone by so quickly. I am down 99lbs and I am hoping to lose that last pound before my 1 year follow up on July 20. It is just a number but I still want that number :)
I have had very few problems. I am currently fighting low blood sugar. But how cool for the first time in my life I am fighting "low" anything :)
I have made some great friends during this experience close and far!!!! Some of those friends and I began a community support group in our suburb. It is great!!! We have begun going to Zumba together. We meet about twice a month and just talk and share with each other. It is amazing how something like this can be so much bigger than just weight lose!!! I love my new friends here in Bartlett!!!! They make it so much easier to stay on track AND to get back on track when I fall off!!!! We support each other and it is wonderful!!!! (Sandy, Emily, Alice, Donna, Nikki, Tara, Kathy, Edith, Ann,...you are great!!!!)
I am constantly worried about gaining the weight back. I hope that fear never goes away!!! I do hope that my brain catches up with my body. I went out on the town to see "Wicked". I wore a dress and shoes that I would have NEVER worn before! (See photos) When my friend and I were walking comments were made to us by a group of men. I assumed that they were speaking just to her. They couldn't find me appealing at all. But she pointed out that they were talking to both of us and I know she was right but it is still hard for me to grasp. It is new and a little intimidating. But I am having fun! I now LOVE to clothes shop :)
Thanks to all the OHers that have offered advice and support over the last year!!!

The Holidays
Dec 28, 2008
I had WLS July 15. As of today, December 28, I have lost 78 pounds. I am very excited!!!! The holidays have been very interesting. Thanksgiving was not very difficult but Christmas was a challenge. Everywhere that I looked there was food to snack on that DID NOT make me sick. It was the first time that I had to use will power and not the tool. I learned that I have a LONG WAY to go :(
It is also a new experience to deal with all of the positive attention. I feel like everyone was watching me to see what I would eat. It was odd!

Hello!
Jul 06, 2008
This is my first post! My surgery is in two weeks! I have been on the liver shrink diet for a week now. YUCK!
I was been reading lots of posts and really enjoying it.
I am very concerned about the procedure but not the recovery. I am also worried that I will be one of those few that does not lose the weight.
I will try to get photos on here soon!
