My One Year Surgiversary

May 18, 2014

Well, I made it to the one year mark and feel absolutely fantastic about my decision to have VSG. I am thrilled with the progress I have had to date and just wish I had done it earlier. That being said I realize I can't change the past and I have to let it go and concentrate on each day ahead of me.

Months 10-12 were quite rough. I didn't lose a lot, had some weird regain and then finally came back down to my low of 162. I seem to be stuck there again but I am happy with it. I have let some carbs slip back in the last month and I do feel if I can just keep them at bay I'll make my revised goal of about 155 by mid July.

Just today I had a young lady I coached in basketball at my elementary school one of my first years teaching come up to me in a store. She said "Can I ask you a questions? Are you Ms. G?" When I replied yes, she was so excited and just kept saying "Wow...Wow...I can't believe how amazing you look. You're a whole different person but I just knew when I saw your face that you had to be Ms. G". That was pretty cool!

Now that I have lost the weight I have to keep my head in the game. It's hard, as I don't want to feel like I am on a "diet" all the time. So..I try to eat as clean as I can most of the time and try not to get down on myself when I have a slip up or a splurge (as I prefer to call it! :-). I think it will always be a challenge to make sure that I am keeping myself in check. I feel confident in myself and the changes I have made to my lifestyle. I'm not perfect but I really do feel as though I have the tools and the strength to keep on track. Time will tell, of course, but I'm going to give it my absolute best shot!
