Happy Anniversary to me!!!

Today is my 1 year anniversary. I still can't believe it's been a year. Alot has changed for me. I started out at 363 pounds and now teeter between 172-174. I wanted to be 170 today but I am not sweating it. I am close and if it wasn't for this surgery I'd probably be well over 400 pounds by now. I was always an emmotional eater. Since my surgery i've lost 3 very close family members and I know for sure i'd have eaten myself into oblivion if I hadn't had this surgery. I have good days and bad days still. I can't eat most things but I still try. My only issues are vitamin deficencies which the doctors are working on trying to get level. As well as having had my gal bladder out last month. Seeing that there could have been some pretty major things that could have gone wrong I count my blessings and am thankful for each day. I wish you all the best and Happy Anniversary to all my September 3rd buddies as well as everyone else celebrating this month. Shannon

HOLY COW, Shannon...........that's more than half your body weight! CONGRATS! You rock! Wesie, one year and 2 days out.........but only 75-80 lbs down

Congratulations, Shannon! It's been quite a year, hasn't it? Good luck in getting those vitamin levels where they should be! I'm having my yearly labwork done this week...I'm anxious to see how they look. Keep posting! Beth 280/138

I am so proud of you! Congratulations my dear! ((hug!)) I hope the deficiencies and eating issues work themselves out, I'm sure they will. I agree with you that there are a lot of blessings to count! Happy anniversary! Love, Sue
