Yes it's been one year ago today, can't believe it.
Yes I would do it again, wish I had been sleeved years ago.
I am the same person, but now living what I always dreamed, doing what I want and feeling pretty good.
My weight loss is slower then some, 10 pounds since Jan. I have lost 76 pounds to date. Gone from a size 22 to a 14, want to be a 10. I work out 5-6 days a week, in a home gym, love it.
Had my blood test 1 mth ago and my iron is low and my thyroid was way off. Since they increased my meds I am down 5lbs. I need to get my thyroid checked every 3 mths, this is not new for me, I have been on meds for my thyroid for 14 yrs.
Never loss any hair, my hair has never been healthier.
I take Biotin 2x a week, 1 multivitamin, iron and my thyroid pill everyday. I have about 75-80 grams of protein a day.
Love my new life.
Happy one year to you Sondra!!!

Congratulations and Happy Re Birthday!!!   I hope to be where you are a year from now.  Can't imagine wearing or shopping for clothes that aren't in the plus sizes.  You have made amazing changes in one short year.  Wishing you continued success and many more firsts.  Way to go!

I wanted to add that I still have great restriction after one year.
1 egg 1/2 piece bacon I'm full
Small yogurt, full
3 oz of meat, chicken, steak, full
1 cup salad, full
1/3 cup cooked oatmeal, full
Brown rice 2 tbsp, full
1/4 of a bagel with cream cheese, full
Small apple, full
1/2 c watermelon
15 almonds
Ice cream 1/2 cup
Popcorn 1 cup
I have no problem drinking 2 cups of water or a protein shake in a few min.
If I want to have a salad with my meal I have to eat it 20 min before my meat.
I have never thrown up, have over eaten a couple of times and I burp food up and sit it out, gross so I really have to watch my portion sizes .
Hope this helps
So needless to say I have to have 5-6 small meals a day plus a protein smoothy
