One Year
Hi,
I have not been on here much lately but I wanted to give an update seeing today is my One Year Surgery Anniversary! I can't believe it. Since surgery I have lost 100 lbs (140 lbs total). My life has changed a lot. I have learned to Roller Skate, I go out dancing with my friends, I have fun riding my bike. I use to worry all the time about fitting into places. Will the chairs be to small? Going to an old theatre would be out of the question cus I would never fit in the seat, I always worried about getting a ride with someone else cus I might not be able to fit & it I did I probably wouldn't be able to put on the seatbelt. All of this stress isolated me from all of my friends but t don't have to worry about any of that anymore. People have commented on how much more I smile. Having surgery saved my life!!! The tools & knowledge I learned from the staff at the WW clinic has saved my life!!!
I'm still losing weight but it is really slow now...about one lb per month. I still weigh once per week but I no longer obsess about it. Other things are more important now, like how far I can get on my bike or finding fun new recipes to try. I am still quite overweight at 278 lbs but I have lost 1/3 of myself, which is kinda crazy so I think it is understandable that my body wants to slow down the weight loss for awhile.
I am pretty strict with some of the food suggestions from the Clinic. I don't drink Caffeine, I have not had caffeine in one year & 1 month. I don't eat white flour & I don't ever have carbonated beverages. I have noticed that somethings I use to love to eat now taste horrible to me. It seems like my taste buds are more alive.
I am glad I made the decision to have surgery! I'm proud of all that I have accomplished so far. I am grateful to all my friends & family for there amazing support so far.
All my best to anyone else on there journey!
Hugs Katrina

Great JOB. Isnt it amazing how much your attitude changes. Someone at work today blurted out " you are so much happier these days" . Even when I have a bad day at work it does not effect me as much. I smile more, joke more, I am just loving life.
Keep up the good work and continue having fun!
