One Year Post Op ... With Pictures
Ok. It is time ... I have to admit that I never thought I would make it to this point.
Back in June of 2010 when I made up my mind to do something about my life, this day seemed almost impossible!!!
After doing untold hours of research on this and other websites, I finally got up the nerve to go to a seminar. THIS IS A GIANT STEP!!!!! If you are sitting there thinking about it ... Just stop thinking and start DOING!!!! It can't hurt you to find out more information ... but it just might mean your life if you do nothing. Remember ... doing nothing is still a choice.
Stand up for yourself!!! YOU ARE WORTH IT! It was the best decision of my life. Yes I was scared. Yes I was worried that life would not be worth it without food. Yes I was ashamed that I had gotten so big and that surgery was my only option. Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes ... we all did ... you all will...get past it and make a choice for yourself.
I only say this because I wished someone would have been there to say it to me. It IS a big decision. It does take commitment. It will be tough sometimes. But us it worth it? I say YES!
At my heaviest I weighed 400 lbs. You don't get to be 400lbs and think "My life is good. I'm making great choices! I think I'm doing just fine."
I made the choices I had to make and it worked. I have lost 155 lbs in one year. I now weigh 245 lbs. I still have about 40 - 45 pounds to go. I am still losing slowly. I have started working out. I still have great restriction. I no longer am on any meds except 50 mg of Zoloft for some family inherited anxiety.
If you have questions ... ask.
If you need encouragement ... read all you can on here and don't be afraid to message someone who has been there.
I look forward to seeing you all on the losers bench.
