My one year anniversary for my wls. I am down 94 lbs so far. My weight went from 270 lbs to 176 lbs. I was really hoping to be down by 100 lbs by this day, but it just didn't happen like that. But I will get to goal (150 lbs) and I am thrilled with my progress so far. I have gone from a tightttt size 24 to a lose 14. So Yeayyy!
AND I am so very lucky, as I have had absolutely zero complications!

Happy Surgiversary!  Don't worry about the numbers on the scale.  It is how you feel inside and also how your clothes fit.  94lbs is pretty darn good.  Congrats and you will get to your goal because you want it and you know what you have to do to get there.  
My 2 year anniversary is August 10th.  It is so hard to believe that it has been two years!  Like WOW! I went from a womans plus size 24-26 and sometimes 28 to and misses 6/8.
Congrats to both of us as well as everyone else out there!

It sure is good C'ING LESS OF ME!

 

We could learn a lot from crayons: 
some are sharp, some are pretty, 
some are dull, some have weird names, 
& all are different colors....but they

ALL exist very nicely in the same box.

Thank you Terry! And Thanks for the vote of confidence in reaching my goal!
Congrats to you as well, you have done great! Your surgiversary is just right around the corner! Please post it when it comes, so we can regocnize it! The time does fly by doesn't it!
I see my surgeon Thursday for my one year f/u. I hope he isn't disappointed that I am not down by 100 lbs. Many surgeons use that as thier indicator as to if the procedure was a success or not. They feel it was if the pt is down by 100 lbs in the first year. Not all go by that rule tho. And my surgeon is the best! I'm willing to bet he'll be telling me how great I have done.
Hugs back at ya!
