1 Year Update

Jan 29, 2009

Yesterday was my 1 year surgiversary. It was fun to reminisce with my DH about all of the experiences of being so far away from home in a town that I knew absolutely nothing about. A place where I knew not one person. I recovered in a hotel room alone and was so terribly homesick. I did make it to a support group meeting and out to dinner and had the opportunity to meet some great people. Elizabeth N. and Christina were there as I was just getting started on this wild ride.

I remember watching Elizabeth eat her dinner and she told me "This time next year you'll be able to eat like this too!" I was barely sipping on some soup at 9 nine days post-op and thought to myself yeah, right...LOL Well, she was absolutely right. I can eat anything I want to now and in most cases you would never know that I had WLS.

I lost one more pound this past month and seem to be settling in at this weight. I'm wearing size 6 pants down from a 22. My current weight is 154. This has been a remarkable year for me. My co-morbidities were resolved within the first few months and my energy level is unbelievable.

I could go on and on but the bottom line is I LOVE MY DS and all of the love and support I have found here. What a difference a year makes!!
