One Year Anniversary
Oct 14, 2009
I can't believe it's already been a year since surgery! The time has flown by. I now weigh 173 and I'm wearing a size 12 in mostly all things and a medium to large shirt. My hair is starting to come back but it's still not nearly as thick as it used to be. I have been going to the gym 2 to 3 days a week. I'm doing mostly cardio and I've been trying to work myself up to running. Last night I ran a half a mile! Maybe one day I'll be able to run a whole mile or more all at one time. If someone told me last year that I'd be running I would've thought they were crazy! At my one year dr. appt he told me that I've lost 92% of my excess weight and that I will continue to lose for another 6 months. The weight is coming off REALLY slow now but hopefully working out will help it come off a lil faster. He wants me to lose another 20 pounds and stop b/c if I lose any more I'll look too skinny..... yep I said it..... TOO SKINNY!! First time I've heard that in a long time! hahaMy life has changed so much this past year! Some things were hard like my divorce but the surgery really helped me get through all of that. I still get excited with EVERY pound I lose. And it's strange now that men like me and women hate me HAHA!! One girl told my friend that she didn't want to walk with me or stand beside me when we go out b/c I'm pretty and nobody will pay her any attention. That is SO STRANGE!! There are too many other positive changes to list and I know I've said it before, but this surgery is the best thing that's ever happened to me! Hopefully 6 months from now I'll be at goal. Until next time.....
