One Year Later.......
......made such a huge difference in my life!! I cannot believe how far I've come in the last year!! I was a size 22 (bordering on a 24), and now I am a 6 or 8. I think I look pretty great in all my new...and definitely more stylish.... clothes (a bit flabby in the buff, but whatever), and I have more energy than I ever thought I'd have at this "old" age (let's just say I'm over 50!!). My doc says I will prob still lose a little more weight, but I am sooooo happy where I am now, that I seriously don't even aspire to lose more. If it happens, great. But, if not, great, too. Whoever would have thought I'd be so content with my scale, when I NEVER was in all my previous years (in fact, I only get on my scale when I go the doctors, instead of getting on that darn scale once or more times a day, as I did in my past life)? Also, my labs are all normal, and even my blood pressure is normal for the first time in my life. How neat is that? But, as many of you may recall, I didn't chose to have this surgery. I had other problems which made me have to have it. And, the really wonderful news is that all those "other" health concerns are now gone, too!!! I truly feel like a new person with a second chance at life!!! Hope all of you are witnessing a similar feeling of joy and accomplishment, as you, too, face your one year anniversary!! And, thank you for sharing all your stories with this board during your sometimes difficult and trying first year of being post-op!! Knowing I wasn't alone, definitely helped me ...... a lot!!! Best Wishes to all of you as you continue in your journey..........
Hugs, *KAM*
