One year out

Hi everyone,

I apologize for not having the time to spend here on OH for some time.
I just wanted to update everyone on my progress.

Oct 12th was my 1 year surgiversary.
I am a very comfortable 34 waist now.
I continue to lose, every so little at a time.
I am down to 179.6 pounds from 372.5 when I first went to the surgeon colsultation.
I was 349 pre-surgery, so I've lost about 193 lbs overall or a little over 169 lbs in this year since the surgery.

I have slacked lately on my excercise, but I promise to get back to it ASAP.
I have had too much caffeine lately as well, but I will cut down on that as well.
I'm religiously taking my vitamins still.

I have missed my support groups for the past 3 months due to family and personal things that just happen to fall on the support group night each month.

For those of you just starting - please stick to the program.  You will have more success and quicker success if you stick to it.  And as my surgoen told me - You will also have longer lasting success.

Take care,

: )
