It is my WLS anniversary

Well as of 7:30 am today, October 12th, I have been one year post-op. I can not believe a whole year has gone by. I am down 85#. I have a new life that I could not imagine when all this started. I still have weight to lose to be at my goal and I have been on a plateau for months now. I am sure I could have lost more by now if I had pushed myself more. The truth of the matter is that maybe I didn't work the program as well as I could have but I have savored every moment in this journey. I am one of the lucky ones with no complications. I have lost weight, eaten pretty much what I wanted (minus bad for me stuff of course) and enjoyed becoming a new person. My family has been very supportive and every day seems like a new adventure. I have become more confident and taken control of my life. I enrolled and passed real estate school and am in the process of getting my Florida real estate license. This is something I would have never tried before. I want to thank you all for being there. The support of this board and my special angel (that's you, Amy B) has made this 51 year old woman feel like a million $$$. Yes, I will lose more weight and my life will be healthier and longer. I will try to be helpful to others as they travel this road. Thanks to you all Wow!!!! What a trip!!! Carol

Congrats on your anniversary and I just know you will get past that plateau. I am only 6 days post-op and to me 85# sounds fantastic. Also congrats on passing your real estate test, for I am sure you will do wonderful with the confidence you have. I just hope to do as well as you in a year. Sandy

Thanks, it really has been a great journey. Congrats on your surgery. You are going to really enjoy this. Just hang it there. Remember when it gets a little rocky just relax and wait for a better day. Good luck

CONGRATS!!!! You have done a fabulous job on your journey Carol and are an inspiration to me. I am so happy for you and your new career decision! You go girl! Hugs, Sallykate

Thank you Sallykate. It is kinda scary to be out there starting something new but it is exciting.

Happy Anniversary to you, Carol! WOW, can you believe it has been a year already????? What an amazing journey so many of us have had this year! Keep up the great effort, stay focused on making the right choices, get up and move your body, enjoy the outdoors and most of all, enjoy your happier, healthier life! You deserve every bit of it!
