For my 9-month surgiversary - century club membership!
Today is 9 months for me from my surgery date, and after a few teases from the scale gods earlier this week, I finally passed the 100-pound mark. I'm actually glad it didn't happen until today - what an anniversary present!!
I can't seem to add photos here, but I did get them onto my profile. The blurry one is from the morning I started my pre-op diet, and there's another pre-op one from a cruise last March. The other two are from a Pentatonix concert two weeks ago and my husband's birthday dinner last Thursday.
If you are in the research stage, all I can say is I will forever be grateful for this surgical blessing. I have my life back. There are challenges along the way, but nothing compared to the helpless feeling of hitting my head against a wall for 20 years with no lasting results to show for it. I always knew what to do to eat right...now I can actually do it without my body fighting me. I do not feel deprived, I enjoy food and am in control of what I eat. And there is so much strength that comes from feeling in control!!!!
Best of luck to everyone, wherever you are in your journey.
