To everyone out there who had surgery Sept of 08...happy anniversary, and congrats on your success!!!
SW: 258 CW: 167 GW: 138 91lbs down, 29 lbs to go
At the moment I am in the process of getting my panni removed. My health insurance will cover that and my copay will be $15.00 if I go for the full tummy tuck that will be $7500 so I will go with the cheaper one. The boobs are sad but know I can shop at Victoria Secrets and make them feel all dressed up.
This was the best year for me. For me it was pretty easy but I also stuck to the rules for the first 6 months and really used that time to lose 80% of my weight I wanted to lose. I am now a regular person with a normal appetite. I notice that I am hungry a lot now but I snack on lots of fruits or if there is steak in the refridge I will take a couple pieces and eat that. It really feels me up. Better than chips where I think I could eat the whole little bags now. Sounds funny now. Before I could put away the whole bag of Maui Onion Chips.
Mahalo guys for all your support. I couldn't have done it without you.
Aloha,

It's not quite my surgerversary, but I started counting at my pre-op liquid diet, since they did not weigh me the day of my surgery. Here are my stats:
Month 1 (9/2-10/2) 30 pounds
Month 2 (10/2-11/2) 18 pounds
Month 3 (11/2-12/2) 18 pounds
Month 4 (12/2-1/2) 14 pounds
Month 5 (1/2-2/2) 12 pounds
Month 6 (2/2-3/2) 9 pounds
Month 7 (3/2-4/2) 12 pounds
Month 8 (4/2-5/2) 9 pounds
Month 9 (5/2-6/2) 10 pounds
Month 10 (6/2-7/2) 8 pounds
Month 11 (7/2-8/2) 11 pounds
Month 12 (8/2-9/2) 7 pounds
A year ago I weighed 311 pounds and today I weigh 152, for a loss of 159 pounds. I've lost 187 since my highest recorded weight of 339. My BMI is 23.8. I hope to lose 6 more pounds. I love to exercise and am healthy as a horse. Life is amazing again!!

Anyone out there who had surgery Sept 2, 2008? Would love to hear from those 1 year out......

Highest Weight = 206 lbs.
Surgery Weight = 185.6 lbs.
Current Weight = 122 lbs.
Goal Weight = 130 lbs. (5'1")
I lost 110 pounds and have a BMI of 21.4. My weight has been stable for about 6 weeks now. I think I'm done losing, but I do seem to be getting smaller without losing weight. This is probably because I am working out with a trainer and because of loose skin being absorbed (god, I hope my loose skin is being absorbed!)
I'm now waffling about PS. I'd rather not spend the money or deal with the downtime. But I hate feeling like I'm wearing the skin of a much bigger person.
I'm trying to figure out how to maintain now. It's weird not being plugged into a system any more. I try to come up with new rules for myself but eating to rules tends to get me in trouble now -- where before it was the key to my success as a dieter.
I've done 5 triathlons and am training for a Half-ironman in Oct.
