ONE YEAR AGO....

Well it has been a year since my surgery! Been through bad times and good times. I started at 543 and now I am 327... and I have 60 more to go to be where the Doctor wants me to be. I did notice the last few months it has been harder to loose I guess this is normal. My BIG downfall is I do not want to go to the gym! I do other activities to keep me moving such as my photography and hiking. I have not gone fishing or biking in a while I guess I will. Ironically I celebrated my year anniversary at Hershey Park (the stuff that may have gotten me fat...LOL). I was freighted to go on the rides because I cannot remembered the last time I when on a ride and the ones I did I had no or little problem getting into. I went on the Tilt-R-Wheel, Log Flume, Whip, some water torture rapids ride, and the new Reeses Extreme. I'm NOT much of a ride person but I did enjoy the rides even though on the rapids ride I got into a argument with my girlfriend because I did not want to get wet... but shhhh don't tell her but I really enjoyed that ride and loved her and the fact she was very understanding to all my problems though out this past year. I wish I could show her how much I really care for her. OK this is my one-year report. -phil

Congratulations Phil! It sounds like you've had a great year. I wish you many more happy years and just as much success in the rest of your wls journey. Keep up the great work! Carol

congrats on your 1 year we went to hershey park last summer and that was the final straw for me and i knew we had to look into surgery -- it wasn't any fun going on a ride built for 2 and i was sitting on the floor -- next time we go it will be different take care Roberta
