One Year Surgiversary!!
It was one year ago today that I was wheeled into the OR weighing 224 lbs and about to embark upon a year of whirlwind events.
My life has changed drastically since that day and I am forever grateful to my surgeon, Dr. Rahman, who is probably the most humble human being that I have ever met. I thank him daily for saving my life.
I am now weighing in at 137lbs, size 4 jeans, Medium tops. My shoe size decreased to 8.5 and my ring size is now a 6. Aside from sizes, I am more physically fit than I have ever been. I can run faster, do more pushups and situps than my high school aged cheerleaders which I coach. (I never would have thought of coaching as an overweight person) I ran my first 5k at 6 mths post-op and felt such a level of accomplishment than ever before.
WLS has changed my life in the most positive ways--but I am most thankful for my new lease on life. Thank you LW Board for your continuous support this last year--I'm very grateful!
