May 25, 2005 - My 1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY
On May 25th; I will be one year post op. 
I can't say this enough....I would do this over again in a heart beat...I would guess that most of you feel the same. 
I am now at 117 pounds gone forever; and am feeling healthier every day. Thinking about the things that I can do now that I couldn't do this time last year are absolutely incredible. 
Things like:
Living in a second floor apartment instead of a first floor apartments and being able to carry all my groceries up the steps. 
Sitting in a bath tup - HOW UNVELIEBABLE IS THAT!!! 
AAAH
Having a doggie bag when you go out to eat with friends and family members oh and ACTUALLY FEEING IT TO THE DOOGIES - instead of eating it myself. 
Climbing the steps in my office building (THREE FLIGHTS - TWICE A DAY)..who would have ever thunk it. 
Shopping at Walmart instead of our favorite Large Peoples catalogs - and realizing you don't have to pay so much for nice clothes. Getting four nice tops for $8.88 each instead of one top for over $40.00. 
On June 2nd I go back to my surgeon for my one year check - up and my goal is to finally be out of the 300's I am really praying that will happen. 
A pretty funny side note - I have to go for a drug screening on Tuesday for a new job - I told my supervisor the only thing they might find is a very high PROTEIN level and an overdose VITAMINS (you know CALCIUM, BIOTIN, B12, etc....)....lol.
Now I am researching the cost and everything involved in plastic surgery. I still have 90 - 100 pounds to go before I reach my goal but I want to start getting as much information on it as possible. 
CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE.....THIS MONTH IS A SPECIAL MONTH for us as we celebrate our RE-BIRTH to a healthier new life.

Congrats to you Betty on your 1st year in your new life. Its going to be like you and I will be sharing our birthdays because I am scheduled for my surgery on May 25th of this year, so you will only be a year older then me, but thats ok, its only a number. The imporant part is how great you look and feel being 1 year old in your new life. Congrats again and keep up the good work.
