One year anniversary

 I can't believe one year has come and gone. What a ride it has been. I have been very fortunate to sail through this first year without any problems. 

Since surgery I am down 124 lbs and since my highest weight pre-op I am down 195 lbs. I will be meeting with my doctor next week and will figure out what my "final" goal will be.  I have 17 lbs to lose in order for my BMI to be normal.

Thanks to all who have provided support.

Have a nice day and may you all have much success on your journey.

Isn't it fun to look back on the past year? Congrats on all your work.

WOW!!!  You look fabulous.  You are my inspiration!!!  I am waiting for an appointment from the surgeon.  Had my psych evaluation .... just waiting.  I bet you feel better too ...  I can't wait!!!  How was your overall experience???

 Thanks..my overall experience was great. I can honestly say I have not had any problems. I stuck to all my doctors rules about food and found I had no problems with eating or drinking anything. I have not had any dumping experiences or any other issues,

Like most people I did lose hair so I cut it short and it is growing back fine. It took me a while to find good protein shakes and bars, but I have found things I like.

I would suggest you follow the rules, drink your fluids, get your proteins and stay on top of your vitamins.

I wish you success on your journey.
