One Year Surgiversary

Sep 02, 2010

September 3, 2009 I had the life-changing experience of gastric bypass surgery.  One year later, I can't even begin to tell you how different my life has become.  At my heaviest, I weighed 281 pounds.  I have maintained a weight of 156 pounds for the past several months making my weight loss from the surgery approximately 96 pounds.  I was aiming for 100 pounds to at least be able to say I lost 100 pounds, but I cannot complain about my success at all.  I was a 22/24 for several years and am now a 10/12.  I feel wonderful and can pretty much eat/drink anything I could prior to the surgery.  In January, I left my husband of 7 years with my two little ones.  I now live with my Mother and am planning on moving to my own place this fall.  In June, I started a wonderful job in my field and am working towards advancing my career with the opportunities that the position provides.  I have almost finalized my divorce and have dated a few guys who have no idea that I used to be morbidly obese.  I will update later, but wanted to log in and acknowledge this date as it is such a significant anniversary in the story of my life.
