Today is my SURGIVERSARY!!!

[pumpkin07 32]

Yep, been waiting for this day. I even remember wondering the day of surgery what will it be like in one year and I was scared...would I be alive, feel well, be successful with weight loss, have any hair, etc. After surgery I cried after a few days bc eating less was so foreign. I mourned my tummy in the trash, my friend, my companion, my reliable partner in crime. I was a bit sad, strangely. End of an era.

But I must tell you I am alive, I feel really great, I have been successful in losing a huge amount of weight, and I do have hair that I grew out kinda long.

Today my health is much better than a year ago. I wear a 30" waist pant now or a size 8Petite or a Small or Medium shirt. A year ago I was wearing a size 20WP and a 2X. I looked so swollen in every way.

What is next during the next year? Well...definitely losing the rest, not regaining, firming it up, lasiks eye surgery, and giving the girls a lil lift.

Congrats! We are all excited for you! I can't wait for my year out - only 10 months more to go!

Congratulations!!! You are so close to goal! Woo hoo!

Like Rootman, I can't wait for my one year...hoping to lose 100 by then, but I will take any loss I can get to. And it definitely doesn't end at 1 year...just such a big milestone. So congrats on being ONE YEAR OUT!

Congratulations. Feels good to get to a year, doesn't it?

I like your goals for year 2: What is next during the next year? Well...definitely losing the rest, not regaining, firming it up, lasiks eye surgery, and giving the girls a lil lift.

I've done: losing & lasik (You will love that!!!) ... I'm also focused on firming it up & the lift. Can't afford the lift right now & to be honest, I'm a little scared of it. But, it would make a WORLD of difference. Keep in touch & let us know how you are doing on your goals.
