My One Year Surgerversary-



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone!!

It's been a while since I have been in here, but guess what also happened? I found out I Have a LIFE!!

Feb 9th was my One Year Aniversary or re-birth, what ever you want to call it, and I am sooooo glad that I made this life changing decision!

So much has changed for me. I am so much more healthier and have not felt this good in 15 years or longer. I just turned 51 on Jan.24th and am NOT ashamed to tell my age like I was before.

I had my blood work done and everything is WONDERFUL! No, I did not make "goal" in a year, I have 22 more pounds to go, but I had a LOT to lose and am quite happy with my progress.

I just wanted to share my happiness with you all...and to thank you for the support you have given me and to all of you just startin g on this journey, you may have some doubts and fears, but the health is worth it all, and the shopping is an added bonus!!

Thank you all sooooo MUCH!!!!!!!!

Tiff I miss being in here too, yet with my work schedule, and finding out I like to get out more now, not enough hours in the day!!

I'm doing things I hadn't done in years!!

My job performance has improved tremendously- and even my store manager has commented on it! ( that's always a PLUS when it come to evaluation time!! )

I'm getting out and meeting new people and running into old people that don't even reconize me!! ( such a NSV!!!)

I've been out to a few clubs, and have men come up and talk to me!! Wooooooo Hooooooo!!

I've even been out dancing!! OMG...... didn't know if I still knew how to dance hehehe!!

Pumpkin- I thought I read someone had my surgersary date- and all I can say... is if I can do it so can you and anyone else!!

I just follow the "rules"- yet I found out I don't like red meat anymore- but thats ok- My cholestrol prior to surgery was 350- it is now 118, so I don't need the red meat. He wants the # under 100.

I think I would have made goal if I exercised, but shame on me, I havn't found a good routine for me. That is my next goal to get back to exercising. I met a friend that wants to work out together- I have a home gym and still don't work like I should at it.

And this year I will quit smoking...... just not promising when, but I am ready to put them down... just have to get my head in the right place.

I forgot to update my ticker!!

Look at the BMI!!! I'm almost "normal"!!!:wink0:

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
