one year down and many more to go....

Ok........ so I had my 1 year post op visit today. Amazing what a journey this has been and what a difference that year has made. Even through the foamies, the hunger pains (that dang pre-op liquid diet), the dumping episodes and the dreaded "everything tastes bad" phase... I haven't regretted the decision I made. I'd do it again in a heartbeat. I've officially lost 100 lbs as of today. I've actually dropped below where I'm at now, only to gain it back a day later. Funny how that happens, but I've read that I'm not the only one to go through it. So as of today, my official medical chart says that I'm 100 lbs lighter than I was on this exact day last year. I look better, I feel great and I'm ready to see what life has to offer. I thank EVERYONE for their support the last year and send my best wishes that everyone will have the same successful results that I've had (or better). Definitely more room on the loser's bench!!!!!
