One Year Today

Well today is my one year anniversary. It has certainly been an experience. I am traveling to my surgeons office this morning. I live about 2 hours from him. Would I do it again - yes, has it been easy - no. I am down 127 lbs. and I know I should be thankful of that, but I am a bit disappointed that I have been stuck with NO weight loss for the last TWO months. Everything seemed to be going well and bam! I hit a wall. I know that most of my problem is of my own making - the usual, lack of exercise, not enough water etc. I've been good about not eating any sweets and sugary items, but have been eating too many nuts and crackers. Well better go. Good luck fellow marchers and keep hanging in there. corgimom

Corgimom, You did excellent, down 127 pounds! That's awesome. My anniversary is tomorrow and I'm only down 103 pounds, but I am grateful for that! You take care and have a blessed day today and enjoy every moment of your journey. You've done well! Keep up the good work! Pebbles

Congratulations and don't ever get discouraged. Today is a time to celebrate the new healthy you! Losing 127 lbs is wonderful. Have a wonderful day! Jean

Corgimom, congrats on the loss. Our anniversaries are the same. What a ride!! I went to my PCP the other day to get my blood levels checked, and thought that I'd step on the scale and sneak a peak. Only 4 more lbs lost in 2 months! -145 total, so can't complain. Must be a plateau time for us. I can still detect changes in my body shape, so at least something is going on. Change what your not happy with, and keep on truckin. Best of luck. Let us know how the visit goes. TraciL

Congrats ! This is a wonderful moment in your life that you will remember forever. Not it hasn't been easy but without it would you have lost this much weight? I know I wouldn't have. My year anniversary is tomorrow. I am so grateful for this experience. I truly know that I am better off now than I would have been without the surgery. I am very proud of you. Sandy 357/205/165

Hey Sandy Congrats and Happy Anniversary!! I live in Warrenton, so we are neighbors. Do you belong to any local support groups? I also have a "March" anniversary...the 18th...with Dr. Chebli. He has moved on, but his replacement, Dr. Moazzaz has been wonderful. Keep up the great work. I'm a little stuck, but I know what I am doing wrong...and am not about to waste this wonderful chance I have been given. Take care Sue Smith

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! You've done great. I've been discouraged and depressed about my weight loss lately too. Keep your chin up! We'll get though it. Scarlette
