Has it been a year already... what will year 2 bring?

So my one year flew past last week... I can hardly believe it. I am so close to goal its killing me. I made it thru the winter and stayed pretty active and now that the weather is starting to change I will be spending more time cycling outdoors. I am still struggling with comments about the amount of weight I have lost; I give most people the benefit of the doubt that they have the best intentions. But, REALLY if I gained weight  no one would say a darn thing.

I starting to think about plastics and if I really need any "work" done. I have no chest for the most part but the bras from VS do a fine job of adding shape. My legs are what bother me the most right now but I have started to notice that they too are changing. Plastics have got to be pricey and I really would prefer to not spend the $$ if I don't need to. I just keep praying that my youthfulness and supplements are going to help my skin retract.

I have been supporting a few co-workers as they begin their journey to WLS and it feels great to share this with someone else. I know the pain of feeling alone in the world and I would hate for any one else to go thru it.

I still haven't really shared with my east coast family that I had WLS and I don't think I will. I hardly ever see them and unless someone dies or my baby sister gets married I doubt I will making a trip back east. I think that now that I am this far out I could "hide" it pretty well from everyone... shared meals would be hard but I could find ways to disguise my lack of eating.

I am starting to wonder what the next year will bring as far as the WLS is concerned and what happens to us as time passes? I guess that is a great question for an "old timers" board, but if anyone knows please share.

Hope all is well!

This is when we stay determined never to go back to what we were this time last year.  I will weigh religiously and make sure that once I get there, I maintain within five pounds of goal, forever.  For year two and for the rest of my life.  Congrats to us all.
