My goodness…….you don't look like the same person. If someone gave me your old pic and asked me to select the new you in a lineup, I'm not sure I'd be able to. CONGRATULATIONS

That is exactly my thoughts! Totally different person in the after picture. WOW! Congrats on your surgiversary, you look fantastic!

Wouldnt consisder myself a success story yet, but here goes.....

I had surgery on 3/15/10. The surgery literally saved my life. There are times when I still see 342lbs when I look in the mirror, but then there are times when I will catch my reflection and say “damn, I’m skinny!”. Is that weird?

Anyhoo, a year later, I still have great restriction. Some days more than others. I can usually pack in 2-3 oz of dense Protein plus about 1-2oz of veggies in one sitting. 5oz max (meat and veggie) at one time. My hunger hasn’t really returned, I just get an empty feeling in my belly, though cravings have come back and usually attack me around my TOM. Too much sugar makes me sick and if I don’t get enough liquids and Protein in, I will stall. I haven’t really exercised all that much in the past year. Practically not at all. I probably would be at goal if I had. I did recently buy a bike and as soon as the weather breaks, I will be taking up cycling and running. I am planning on doing a 5k in September.

Life is better and I am looking forward to the future! To those on the fence about having wls; just do it! it will change your life.

What do you mean not a success story? girl I strive to be YOU!!

Awww, sweetie! Thanks. It can be done. If I can do it, anyone can. I pray that you find a way to have the surgery. Its the best decision I have ever made for myself.

Thank you so much! I still have a little ways to go. AND, i am still working to become consistently active. When I've gotten off another 40lbs and I exercise at least 4 times a week I will feel more comfortable consisering myself a success. I am still so VERY lazy!

I take (belly) dance classes twice a week... its so fun! I walk two days a week and I noticed my gym is adding a Tango class soon... I think I will try that too....I DON'T WANT TO STOP! When you find what you love, you will be on it too.
