1 YEAR SURGIVERSARY CELEBRATION WITH BIGGEST LOSER PICS AND MORE!!!!!
This is the day to celebrate!!!!!!! To celebrate me, celebrate my accomplishments and celebrate the sleeve!!! My life is so amazing now. I have boundless energy, can do anything I want to do, fit anywhere I want to fit, am off all my medications, have perfect blood and cholesterol scores, eat healthy 80-90% of the time, and am thrilled with my life.
This is some of the stuff I have done in the last year since surgery:
1. have a new Coach purse for my 100 lb goal
2. Threw away my seat belt extender
3. Trip to San Francisco
4. Trip to Disney World and riding every ride
5. Alaskan Cruise
6. Eastern Caribbean Cruise
7. Sat in movie seats without even thinking about raising the arms up
8. Tons of room in booths
9. Shopped at normal regular stores (even though I still feel a little lost on this one)
10. Ziplining on the Alaskan Cruise (just because I could because I was under 250 lbs)
11. Went to Atlantis Water Park on the Eastern Caribbean Cruise
12. Went to Six Flags Over Texas Fright Night and riding every ride
13. Riding the bike trails behind my house
14. Put in a new swimming pool so I can exercise
Honestly, every weekend is a new adventure. It is like I spend the week thinking, "what can I do this weekend that I have always wanted to do, but not been able to because of my weight?"
It is great to stop and really realize how much my life has changed!!!! Please don't put if off if you are thinking about this surgery. I am even encouraging my daughter to leave her job of 5 years with no weight loss surgery coverage to find a job with insurance that covers the sleeve, because I feel so strongly that this is so life-changing that whatever it takes to accompli**** should be done. It is still hard work, but it can be done, where that has never been the case in my life before.
What a glorious enchanted ride this has been. By far, the best decision of my life!!

Don't say anything unkind, untrue, or unnecessary.
Grief is not a sign of weakness, nor a lack of faith ...
it is the price of love.
