Another 1 year out today post!
Last year on this date I weighed 375 odd pounds and was just coming out of surgery. I had a rough day or two (thanks to the Morphine) but once I got home, my life has changed forever.
I've made some great friends here on this board and others (the sex board especially) and having met a good number of you, I can tell that almost all of us share the joy of starting over with our "rebirth". It's just a super feeling knowing that I'm healthier, trimmer (but still way too heavy) and more athletic -I couldn't walk a quarter mile one year ago yet I climbed mountains last fall and really enjoyed it while hunting for the first time in decades.
The quality of my life has changed 100 times for the better and alot of it has to do with the posts and information I've found on this board.
Yes, I've worked hard but I thank each of you for getting me to this point. I'm still losing and will continue to work hard but if I don't lose another pound, I'll live longer and happier than if I didn't have the surgery!
