Happy Surgiversary Day to ME!!
Hi 
It's been exactly 1 year since I had my surgery. Right about now, I year ago, I was being wheeled into surgery @ approx. 247 lbs. 
I have lost 104 pounds 
and went from a 22-24 to a size 8 petite mostly, some 10 petite, depends. I have 13 pounds left to lose to get to my doctor's goal, of 130 lbs. I am short, only 5'2, so that is at the high range of normal on the BMI scale.
A year ago I could barely walk a block without huffing and puffing, grabbing for my inhaler. I was constantly going to the ER for asthma attacks, and now, I walk (briskly) 2 miles 4-5 days a week. I haven't had an asthma attach since my surgery, and my blood pressure is normal now too!!!
My main goal has been accomplished, for the most part, I am healthy. I still have asthma, but it's more allergetic asthma, than from being MO. I think that my doctor's goal of 130 lbs is reasonable, and I would like to get there, eventually. I have been struggling alot to lose these last 13 pounds. I seem to be stuck, although I can't blame anyone but myself. these past few weeks I have been eating foods I shouldn't, and binging in the evenings.
Today is my 1 year anniversary, and my goal is to watch what I eat, and how much I eat!! I am really going to do this!!! My present to myself is my trip to California next week! I can't wait! I will be on vacation for 10 whole days!!! 
Tomorrow I am going shopping, and will buy my first bathing suit since my surgery, actually 2nd, but my suit from last year is way too big on me. I don't like the way I look, but I have to deal with it until I have plastics done.
In June, I go for my consultation for my LBL with tummy tuck and hernia repair, brachioplasty (which I had lipo done on my upper arms already), and hopefully a boob lift. 
By next year, I will be at goal, and will have no more extra saggy ugly skin on my body. 
This has definately been a very hard thing to do WLS, but it was definately worth it. I struggle every day with my eating and most likely will for the rest of my life.
I have a food addiction, 
it will never go away. I am seeing therapy for it, and have to learn how to eat healthy for the rest of my life. this surgery didn't change my brain, only my stomach. I have to remember that and constantly say it to myself.
Well, I have rambled on and on. Just wanted to update you on my status and my past year. I hope this next year is as easy without any complications 
and that everyone else's journey is as good as mine!!
