SURGIVERSARY REFLECTIONS!

Happy Birthday 2 Moi! I also have come such a long way in 365 days.I have 8 lbs to go to goal. . I don't recognize my self in the mirror. I don't see that unhappy "fat" chick who was out of breath, pre- diabetic and miserable inside. I thought this morning on how & what I would have eaten prior to receiving this tool. Here I am 1 year out , the closet eater, the nibbler,let's have more till I hurt person. The vomiting episodes were not much fun in the beginning, the hair thinning I hated that. My closet has revolved like the revolving door at Macy's on Thanksgiving, and it still turns . 26-10 I see an older, wiser, thinner, person who choses carefully, more confident, happier woman. NOT the One who was scared to death a year ago with a DH who 'didn't want to lose me... My family also tell me to stop losing. How do you do that? Its taken 9 month to figure out what to eat to lose & live and now go into reverse? Would I do the same thing with the oppoutrtunity? in a "New York Minute" ! Yes YOU BET! Congratulations to all your Post Ops and I encourage all you Pre Ops to hang in there. The journey is truely worth it!

Congradulations - quite a journey - I am just begining mine at age 61 and I hope it is as successfull as yours - I identify with the leftovers and, I have, all of the poor starving children in china hanging on my hips!!!! Congradulations again and again keep up the good work - elaine

CONGRATS!!!! We're in the same boat - I'm being told to gain 10lbs...it's a wonderful ride the one we've been on but it was truly worth it.....
