One year out today

So I celebrated by eating a big chunk of dead bovine flesh and loved every bite of it!!! Seriously....  My wife treated me to lunch today and I enjoyed about 4 oz of center cut sirloin cooked medium rare and I must say....it was wonderful!!! So I guess I could go in to a long drawn out song and dance about how much things have changed for me in the last year, but I really can't think of anything original or unique unto myself that noone else ever posted before. For me, the biggest change has been in the way I feel.  Both physically and emotionally I am stronger and healthier than I ever have been.  Having finally succeeded with getting my tool and learning how to use it, I truly believe I can accomplish anything I set myself to. I guess more than tooting my own horn about what has been accomplished in the last year, I'd really just like to take the opportunity to once again thank everyone who has been a part of this magnificent journey and to wish the best of luck to anyone just beginning.  This is certainly a trip that can't be taken alone! So here's to one hell of a year behind me and many many more ahead of me! Cheers!

Hey Congrats Danny  I see you are a scuba diver , so am I since 1979 . I love it , although I have NOT Had a chance to go diving yet with my new body. ( Cant wait to test it out )  Maybe this summer . I can fit into my custom made wet suit now . I had it made back when I was a wee bit smaller about 240 Lbs I think . I weigh 220 now , I think It should fit now dont you ? !  Congrats again   Nick

Sounds like you got a good chance of it fitting! As long as it's not too big now!  I am disappointed that my custom made Hederson Gold Core was made for me while I weighed in a 400+ and is now no longer an option.  But, I am thrilled that I was able to go in and buy an "Off the Rack" wetsuit last summer that I only spent $30 on and won't be upset about passing on to someone else this year cuz I doubt that it will still fit. I hope you get to make some bubbles soon and if you ar down Texas way, give me a shout and I'll go with ya if possible.

Hey Danny, CONGRATS!!!!!!  I am glad things are going well for you.  Your journey has been an inspiration to us.  It is really wonderful to see people like you who are having success and enjoying your new life.  Take care and keep up the great work!!!!!

Congrats man and Happy Re-Birthday!

Congrats to ya Danny!

Sounds as if everything is going well.Keep it up.

Way to go Danny! You gave me a great idea...celebrate my one year with a steak! CB

Happy Surgiversary or whatever it's called. It's always great to read these posts, they remind us of hoe fortunate so many of us are and encourage those considering surgery. Here's to an ever better 2nd year!

I raise my glass of chocolate protein drink mix in a toast to your surgiversary, and many more to come my friend. Alan H
