One Year Post Op

Sep 25, 2013

September 18th made one year since my surgery. I didn't think I would really los as much weight as I have but I have done so.  I feel so good..little sad about the hanging skin tho...but one step at a time right. I have stopped driving everywhere and doing more walking and sometimes just catch the bus. It's funny how doing little things like this makes life enjoyable..esp when you couldn't do them before. My biggest accomplishment besides losing the weight is my self esteem. I go out every day and no longer worry what people are thinking or saying about me. I see it as they see where I am..but not where I came from nor where I'm going.. So I just smile and think to myself "Only if you knew" ...LIFE IS GREAT. I took the steps necessary to get me to this point but only God's grace and mercy is what pulled my through. I still have no complications and blood work is great. Sometimes I try to eat naughty things but my pouch still wont let me consume the fattening foods. If I had to do this all over again would I? In a heartbeat!!!!!!

498 starting weight / 470 surgery weight / Current weight 297 / 173 pounds since surgery/ total weight loss 201 pounds.

My goal is to get to 160, I know I still have a long journey ahead but this I plan to make it to the finish line. Will keep you posted.
