1 Year Out - A lifetime Gained!
So Good Friday was my 1 yr anniversary - how fitting. 91 lbs lost!
So let's review a couple points:
If I could go back in time would I choose to not have the surgery?
- Not on your life!!!!!!!! best decision I might have ever made (only thing that comes close was following my parents advise to buy my house when I was 23)
Have I had any Complications?
- No - I wouldn't say any complications. I had to have 1/2 an un-fill a week after I got a fill a couple months ago b/c I was too tight - No big deal.
- I have had a problem with recurrent fungal infections under my stomach - not pretty, smells worse - but not totally unexpected and just part of the process.
Do I have ANY regrets?
- Not in regards to having the surgery - but I do wish I had started exercising earlier on and still did it with more regularity. I also wish I had not gotten a fill every month (it's what the Dr's office said was ok - and I'm sure it's fine in practice) I just think if I had gotten a fill less regularly I might have had to force myself to work more on self control/discipline.
What happened that I wasn't expecting?
- I don't think I have ever spent so much money on clothes in 1 years time between work and play - it's crazy (and this was with having had some clothes in some of those smaller sizes from a previous wt. loss attempt a couple years ago) My next drop in size will put me into a size I have never been in adulthood - have never bought it (SO EXCITING but OMG! I'm broke!!!!)
What do I need to work on here on out?
- EXERCISE EXERCISE EXERCISE!!!!!!
- I still need to watch what I eat - I'm good about getting protein in and keeping my meals small - I just know that I snack way too much and on very unhealthy food at times - ok to do I'm just doing it too often! (for example there is way too much easter candy in my kitchen!
- Find a clothes delivery truck stocked w/ 14/16 clothes and turn on the charm! :w00t:
