One year out Today!
Well, I never thought I would be faced with today. I am 117 pounds down. It has been a great year. I feel great. I never dreamed i would fit into a size six again in my life....and here I am. I am thinking of celebrating by going to get new pictures on my ID Cards. It is funny how your weight changes your whole life. It has given me new goals and desires. This year I applied for the RN program and have been accepted. I have put in my notice at my long term job. Things that I have learned over this year:
I can do anything if I really want it.
Change can be good.
When push comes to shove, and your life changes you find out who your friends really are.
I'm learning that my likes in life are changing. My husband, who is my best friend, and myself are going through a relationship change. It is changing for the better with work. It has been an adjustment for both of us. He has only known me overweight. Now the truth is, I'm not as lazy as I was before. Together we are working to find new things to do together.
So, I am excited for what the next couple of years brings to me. I am 100 percent glad I had my gastric bypass. I would do it again tomorrow. There are no regrets here.
For those of you that are getting ready for surgery, hold on, there will be some bad days, and days you think what have I done to myself. Those days will just be a blink as time goes by, when you get to your goal, and it will be worth it!
My advice to all is to keep your eye on the goal or even after you meet your goal how you got to goal. I am two pounds from goal, and everyday I am still focused on the protein, fluids, and my vitamins. I pray that even years from now I am still focused.

Thank you all for your wonderful posts. It has been a great year. I have learned a lot from these boards. When I woke up this morning I came right here to post. I remembered just over a year ago it was those who were sucessful that kept me going. By the way, My husband took me shoping for a new dress today. So, he picks me out a dress and I tell him thats way too small. Well I came home with a size 4 dress. 
WOW moment...at one year!
