One Year Surgiversary!

[nursejenny07 401]

Today is my one year post op!! How this year has flown by!! I am so incredibly happy I made this decision for myself, and wouldn't change a minute of it. Today I sit in my office 90 lbs lighter, 6 sizes smaller, healther, and happier than I've ever been!! I can run on the treadmill now and not feel like I'm going to die or my lungs are going to burst, I can sit on a plane without spilling over into the other seat, I can cross my legs like a lady (even on the plane!!), and I can wear a swimming suit in public with my head held high! So many things I was afraid I would never actually do!! I will forever be greatful for this gift and second chance at life! It's crazy to look back at pictures and videos of myself a year ago and see how much I've changed physically. My self confidence is 100x what it was, and I'm not afraid to put myself out there anymore. The mental changes have been even better. I still have days where I'm not perfect, but I don't crave all of the junk I used to, and it's so much easier to make smart decisions on a daily basis. Working out has still been my weak point...but I'm working on that. I know that this will be a lifelong fight for me, and I can never go back to what I used to do, but my sleeve has been an amazing tool and I will always appreciate what it has given me!

Wow! Such an amazing turnaround of your life in one year! You are a testament to us all that this surgery works, if you work with it. And it certainly sounds as though it was worth everything you sacrificed to get here. Congrats!
