Kelly S.
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.
