1 Year Post-Op Today (May 13, 2005)

Today... One year post-op! WOW! What a year. I've been through what seem to be like hell, (so to speak) this past year, but I do feel like it will be worth it all, when everything is said and done. Well, I'm between a rock and a hard place... my scale here at home is messing up on me, so it's really hard to know how much I am weighing today. I'll have to go buy another on this afternoon and hopefully I'll be able to weigh in and post it. The last that I knew I've lost approx 170 pounds. Day of surgery I weighed in at 490 and today approx 320! I feel like I have so far to go. I'm not really lossing any more. I've tried cutting back on my portions even more... but I don't feel like it's helping. I need a support group so bad! Any idea's? To all of my fellow ObesityHelp 1st Year Anniversaries... Congratulations on a job well done.

its my one year anniversary also. i'm down 65 pounds and, while that seems like little to some, it has changed things considerably for me. i wish us all continued wieght loss and better health. gail 251/186/140(?)

Hi Angelia Congrats on your one year weight loss Try not to be too discouraged, plateaus happen. I hit one in November and it took me from November to May to April to lose 9 pounds! I found proteine, water and walking has been my friend to get things moving again. 170 pounds is nothing to scoff at!! *Hugs* ~Jenna

HI Angela, I'm sorry I missed this post on Friday, it was my 1yr Anniv as well. I'm happy to share it with you! Congrats on the -170!!! that is amazing. You have come a very long way and should be VERY proud of yourself. Try to keep in mind how far you have come and give your self smaller goals so the rest doesn't seem so daunting. Wishing you continued success & much happiness, Pam RNY 5/13/04
