Happy Anniversary to Me!!

Dec 19, 2011

Hello All,

Well it is coming up on 2 yrs since my surgery, 30 Dec 2009. Hooray!!  I have kept the weight off!!  I still want to loose 50lbs to be at MY goal weight, my surgeon wants more, but I am going to go by how I look, which I am happy with how I look now, I already feel great. I did really well during the Thanksgiving holiday I am so proud of me!  It has not been hard to stick with my plan, I treat myself sometimes to things I shouldn't eat but I get back on track (my fear of going back to my previous weight keeps me in check).  It is amazing how many people accommodate me when I do go to parties, they always make sure there is something there for me to eat. One of my friends' mother even remembers so every time she has a fish fry she will bake me a couple of pieces of fish and have a salad. So sweet.. I know a lot of people choose not to let people know that they had WLS but I have found it to be better for me to let people know, when I am at parties and everyone knows, I don't have people asking "Is that all you gonna eat?" Instead they say, "I made this for you so you can eat too."  or they will ask me in advance so they will make sure there is something for me to eat. It is a personal choice and you are entitled to it.  To this day, with my getting a blood clot right after surgery, I would do it again, best decision in my life right up there with having my children and getting a divorce. LOL To all of you that have gone through with the surgery I wish you continued success, for those considering, make sure you are doing it for YOU and I pray you have a problem free surgery, and to all follow your doctors orders and you will be successful!!

Until next time!!
