One Year Follow Up in Ottawa
Hello everyone,
Yesterday I had my one year follow-up in Ottawa with the NP. Surgery was March 12, 2013.
Everything went very well. All of my labs are great, she was happy with my food/fluid intake and exercise routine. We reviewed my medications/vitamins and everything is good there. I was weighed and I have lost 110.8 lbs according to their scales since I started Opti on Feb. 21/13. I have lost 80% of my excess weight and couldn't be any happier!
Now the hard part....keeping this weight off, maintaining my exercise routine and keeping up with my good eating habits :) There is temptation everywhere!! And, sometimes it is so hard to get to the gym when the bed feels so good, lol!
I will see them again in one year, unless I feel that I need to see someone before then. I can call or make an appointment any time I feel I need some support.
I am very excited to see what this next year brings me!!

The race isn't given to the swift nor the strong, but it's given to the ones who endure it to the end...
Congrats on the great job. You can do it, you made it this far, cheers to the next year

Congratulations on your awesome achievement!!!!
Use it to help you stay strong for the road ahead. Just take it one day at a time. If you overindulge one day then back to basics the next. Easy to say, maybe not as easy to do...but that's my plan.
Good luck on the next chapter!!!
