1 Year Surgiversary

So today is my one year Surgiversary.  I started this journey at 288 pounds and sit here today weighing in at 165.  Thats 123 pounds lost. My weight loss has slowed considerabally, I am now losing approx one pound a week.  I have set my goal of being at 145 by my 18 month surgiversary.  

I had an appointment with my surgeon this morning, he calls me a success.  My BMI is now 27.0, I would like it to be 25. I want to get to goal so badly so I can stop wearing second hand clothes, I want a NEW outfit!!!  Dr Jon said he is ready to refer me to a plastic surgeon to see about a tummy tuck.  I haven't really thought about that at this point and probably will not consider it until I have reached my goal weight.  It caught me off guard.  He recommended Dr Huse, anyone know of him? 

I also seen the nuts to discuss some additional things to try to ease my persistant constipation. 

Thanks for sharing my journey and being there for me over the past year.  I appreciate each of you.  Below is my before and today picture.

You look awesome!!!  Great job. 

You look so great!!!  Good job lady!!!

Great job Jeannie.  My surgeon prescribed Miralax because it is non-habit forming, slow acting and safe.  You can now get it over the counter.  I took one dose every day in a glass of Diet Cranberry Juice or Orange Crystal Light.

I have seen several people post about Dr. Huse so maybe they will chime in on that question.

Keep up the good work.

You look great, so confident and pretty in your after pic.  Thanks for sharing!

If you are referring to Dr John Huse in Carmel, he is my surgeon and has done both my Rny and then 2 weeks ago did my revision.  I would recommend him to anyone, he is awesome. 

You look wonderful keep up the good work, and those puppies are just adorable.
