9 year Switchiversary!

Anyone wondering why I had weight loss surgery 9 years ago today can more clearly understand by looking at my weight battle throughout my lifetime. Now a more "normal" person, it is not always easy to maintain my 175 lb weight loss but it is admittedly easier. Normal means watching what I eat but allowing myself to enjoy food--within reasonable limits. I thank God for my family and WLS community (especially the DSers) for their support; I couldn't possibly have gotten here without you all!! #TakesAvillage ♥

Thank you. I can honestly say that at least half of my journey's success is attributable to the support I received on OH! broken heart

You look fantastic. I am only 22 months out. I love to hear from people who are so far out and able to maintain their weight. Congratulations

Congratulations!  I am a little over a year behind you but so glad to hear positive stories from this far out.  While the road can be a little rough sometimes, it is good to know we can still walk it though.  Good luck to your continued success.

Like I said #MyNewNormal ... Normal isn't utopia; for some reason we've all been led to believe that. Normal means leveling the playing ground... There are ups and downs for sure. THAT is normal. broken heart
