I Have My One Year Follow Up Today

[Inner Surfer Girl 12,015]

I was sleeved April 20, 2015 and have my one year follow-up appointment today,

This year has flown by.

I am over half-way to goal.

I am regaining my mobility. A year ago I needed my mom to drive me and a step to get into her SUV (I couldn't get into her sedan). I couldn't do my own grocery shopping, and couldn't walk or stand very long. Today, I am driving myself, and will probably stop and shop after my appointment.

I am swimming laps 3-4+ times a week (since starting to use a fitness tracker a few months ago, I have swum over 150 miles in laps).

I sleep well and don't oversleep much anymore.

I am starting to be able to participate in life again.

If I don't get at least an "ata girl" at my appointment I am going to be disappointed!

I believe that you are truly an exceptional person Inner Surfer Girl. Your spirit, honesty and commitment have been an inspiration. Your posts and replies are always filled with intelligence and compassion. You deserve a very loud "ata girl"!!

You have worked so hard and your journey/posts/insight are truly inspirational to those of us just starting out.

time for a happy dance!

You definitely deserve more than an "atta girl", more like a "Whoa, you are kickin' a$$, keep it up!"

I am within 5 pounds of scheduling my next massage.

I think my one year anniversary gift to myself is going to at the very least be a mani pedi.
