Well, my one year comes up in three more days. Here is how my stats have changed:

Weight 235 to 169 (mostly carrying remaining excess front and center)

Waist 53" to 39"

Bust 44D to 36B

Hips 48" to 41"

Shoe 9 wide to 8 1/2 narrow, no more diabetic socks

Shirts 24 (3X) to 12 (L)

Pants 24 (3X) to 14 (L)

Dropped 3 blood pressure meds, Lipitor (cholesterol), Metformin (pre-diabetic)

Lyrica (neuropathies and sciatica), hydrocodone (chronic pain in joints)

Out of 8 meds, I am only taking Wellbutrin for post-stroke anxiety

At my one year visit last Thursday, my doctor adjusted my goal weight from 135 to 155, so now I am only 14 pounds from goal. She said that after I lose that 14 pounds, I should consider a panniculectomy, which will take off another 12-15 pounds.

Smartest thing I ever did next to throwing a jerk to the curb to start my life over.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
