Happy 2 Years to me!

My 2 year surg-a-versary isn't officially until Friday but I am leaving for the beach tomorrow so figured I would post early. Its hard to believe that almost 2 years ago I was heading into surgery. The time has gone by quickly but the person I use to be seems light years away. I finally feel like the person I always thought I was... the outside finally matches the inside. I am glad to be moving onto the next phase of my journey and looking into plastic surgery so my transformation will be complete. Since surgery I have taken a great interest in educating myself about nutrition, exercise and the human body. I keep up with OH and my local support group because I feel both are key to long term success. I have a wonderful support system of friends, family and other WLS patients that help to keep me on track. I am 110% compliant with all my supps/vits and post-op follow ups. I feel its important to remember that you are a WLS patient for life!! Following 'the rules' isn't an option it's mandatory... not only lose the weight, but to keep it off.

First visit to surgeon - 288 ~ bmi 45.1
2 week pre-op 252 ~ bmi 39.5
Total lost - 153 Since surgery - 117!
Goal weight - 155 (mine) 180 (surgeons)
Current weight - 135 (2020 I lost 10lbs due to dedicating myself to working out more and being in better shape)

Scar revision on arms - 3/2015

Congratulations, Jenn! (I did get the bathing suit btw and it's great but yes a bit tight across the back.) You have always been kind of like my mentor since I started this journey. Thank you for always reminding us how it works. It's always appreciated.

Glad you got it... maybe it will relax some after wearing it? Im sure with getting closer to goal it should work better!! :-)

Hi Jenn,

Congratulations on your 2nd Surgiversary. You have done what I look forward to doing, not just losing the weight, but learning to live thin. You truly inspire me to be the best I can be; I aspire to be you when I grow up ;-).

Wishing you a wonderful trip to the beach and continued success on your journey.

Warmly,

Barb
