My journey this past year...
The 17th was my one-year anniversary of my surgery, and as I look back it seems like the time has flown by. It sure didn't seem that way at times going through it! Seems like some weeks I would not lose any weight and I would get frustrated, and then it would come off. Now that I sit and look back, it really did happen pretty fast!!
11/05 - I weighed 237.
2/06 - I weighed 233 at surgery. Clothing size - 2X or size 22
2/07 - I weigh 118. Clothing size - 4
I hit my goal of 125 at around 8 - 9 months out (early November 2006).
I feel better than I can remember in so many years!!! I have TONS of energy now and am not afraid to take on anything that requires physical exertion.
This was the best decision I have ever made and I could not be happier with the results. I have had no real problems and I feel so healthy now!!! Not to mention my self-esteem has gone through the roof!!!
Congratulations to us all... we have come so far!! I have been kind of quiet here, but I do read. Just been super busy with work for quite a while now!
Hugs to all,
Deanna
