Had my one year post op appointment with Dr Pop at Barix instead of Dr Kam!! I missed Dr Kam and Mary!!! anyways Dr Pop looked at me and the first thing he said was," You look like you are in the wrong building" I was like thank you  anyways I have lost over 75% of my excess body weight he said I am doing very well and the Nutritionist was impressed with my eating and working out and my excercise habits!!

Overall folks I am so pleased!! this was and is the best thing that I have ever done for myself! I only have a few vices and really they are nothing compared to the weight I was before.. I like the odd mini dove square...I like to shop for new clothes and lingerie and I really am addicted to looking at myself in the mirror because I cannot beleive that it is really me looking back......I am eating well and doing everything I should be doing! I am divorced and dating and getting through each day one at a time I am not so obsessed with the scael anymore I kinda go up and down 1-2 pounds in a week so I have stopped losing overall... I still say I want to lose 5 more but realistically I shouldn't I went from a 24/4X to a size 4/XS and some days they are too loose other days they fit just right... I am having a blast especially when people don't recognize me!! very very kewl..... I have no more health issues which is fantastic and Dr Pop said I should wait until next year to do plastics and thats excatly what I will do!! I am in no rush!! SO to all the Newbies out there go for it and enjoy the ride but do not let anyone tell you this was the easy way out because its not!! everyday is still a struggle I still want those fries with gravy and sure I will have 1 or 2 but I feel my stomach getting sick and most times I won't even try....so its tough!! not just with fries but with everyday! no matter what this is a tool and we have to make the right choices so we don't dump and we don't get sick....!!! its easy though and I love when people  I don't know tell me how small I am and that I should eat more...I kill myself laughing thinking if they only knew.... most people are like your so skinny do you really only eat salad and chicken?? its great guys!! I love it and would do it again in a heart beat!! I recently became a OHweightloss support group leader in my area... in September I will start to hold meetings!! I am a Nutritionist as well so I am looking forward to helping and supporting anyone who is or wants to or needs it!! Good luck to everyone!!! XOXO

Congratulations!  I am very proud you!  That is a great accomplishment... I hope that you continue with your goal and keep doing great.  I am still pre-op and reading this just inspires me, knowing that someday I will be sort of normal... So... thanks
