One Year. No Regrets!
Hi everyone! So it has been a long time since I have visited my OH crew...you all have crossed my mind lately because I am coming up to my 1 year anniversary this month! I can't believe it has been a year...the time really has flown by. This site helped me TREMENDOUSLY preop and post op up until about 5 months post op. At that time I found myself almost addicted to OH - - I would log on everyday comparing my progress to everyone else's....which is never good. LOL I decided to live life and stop worrying about how everyone else was doing and have me time. I know what my personal goal is and that is all that matters. It has been one year and I have lost 182 lbs! 143 lbs since surgery but 182 total! I still have work to do but I just wanted to let the newbies and preops know that I have no regrets and that having my gastric bypass RNY saved my life and is the best decision I have ever made. Yes, there have been bad days but there have been many, many, more FABULOUS days. I am a work in progress on the inside and out. I am not perfect and I never will be....but I know what I want and who I am. I want to say thank you to everyone's post's and blogs that truly helped me get through the bad times. I have to admit I was nervous when my "one year" approached.....scared that this was the end of my weight loss. I now know and realize that I choose when it ends, no one else.
Take care!

Great post and it's sure good to hear a 1-year success story. Your loss is remarkable.
But, you made a comment that really makes me pause and wonder.

I rarely miss a day visiting these boards and seeing the success everyone is making. But, I never thought of it as an addiction. Good food for thought.
High Weight = 310 Surgery Weight = 300 Dr's Goal = 200 My Goal = 190 
Congrats Sara!
I myself am 3+ years out and my partner is 1 1/2 yrs. This has been such a life changing decision for both of us. People always ask us if we would do it again which floors me that people would ask but my partners answer to that is, "she would do it everyday" if she had to. Good luck and continue with your success!
