I celebrated by 1-year surgiversary on March 2nd, but was so busy with work and then on vacation that I didn't have time to post. I managed to lose 143 lbs, almost half of my body weight! I have never felt better, and am so thankful for such a wonderful opportunity.

We went on a cruise that was filled with NSV. I confidently walked around the pool deck/beach in a bathing suit, wore some pretty great dresses I found on the clearance rack in the "average" section of the store, I zip lined, I kayaked in the ocean, went on an island hike, I snorkeled, and averaged 18,000+ steps a day. And there is actually evidence I was on vacation with my family, I usually hid behind the camera or avoided pictures - I have TONS from this trip :) None of this would have been close to possible without WLS.

I am also thankful for all of the support on this website. I might not post a lot, but read very frequently. I am always amazed at the support, advice, and tough love this forum provides!

Below are a few updated pictures:
