One Year Today - What a Journey
by , 12-17-2014 at 02:11 AM (1216 Views)
Well today marks my one year surgery anniversary. I started at 256lbs (116.1kgs) and as of today am down to 149lbs (68kgs) - 107lbs (48.8kgs) loss. I have now stabilised and fluctuate about 1-2lbs.
My final appointment with my surgeon 3 weeks ago (hadn't seen him since Feb) and his comment was "Well that worked!"
For me it has been the best thing I have ever done. I feel great and have been lucky to have had no problems. Food is no longer my life although I do enjoy it a bit more now. I do sometimes wish I could sit down to a HUGE plate of some of the foods I can no longer tolerate but overall life is good. Gotta watch those slider foods at this stage as they do go down very easily.
I eat whatever I like and don't count calories. I am mindful of protein only. My body seems to prefer the healthier foods anyway.
Clothes shopping is great - so nice to buy off the rack (and off the net) and it's much cheaper buying smaller clothes.
So for all of you just starting out - keep positive and keep going through the tough stages. it is worth it in the end.
