Update!

Hi everyone!

I thought I would give a little update as to how I am doing since surgery. 

I went into surgery weighing 245lbs.  AS of today I weigh 190lbs.  That is a loss of 55lbs. 
When I went to my first consult I weigh 291lbs so that means I have lost 101lbs from the very beginning of my journey.  WooHoo!  I am now no longer considered diabetic (so no pills) and I no longer have high cholesterol (no more meds).  I was able to accomplish this in 2 1/2 months post op.  My family doc also lowered the dosage  of my synthroid.  I don't know if that is related to the weight loss or not, but I will take it as a victory.

I just returned from a week holiday in the Dominican Republic and had a blast.  My husband and I went on an ATV tour as well as a Zipline tour.  Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would be able to do the zipline due to my weight in the past, but I got right up there and did it and had so much fun.

     We were so proud when we were done!

I hope everyone is doing great and I wish you all luck on your personal journeys.

Thanks!  It has been an amazing ride so far.  Can't wait to see what new is about to come my way. 

How are you doing on the 1 cup diet?  Getting easier?
