Yep, been waiting for this day. I even remember wondering the day of surgery what will it be like in one year and I was scared...would I be alive, feel well, be successful with weight loss, have any hair, etc. After surgery I cried after a few days bc eating less was so foreign. I mourned my tummy in the trash, my friend, my companion, my reliable partner in crime. I was a bit sad, strangely. End of an era.

But I must tell you I am alive, I feel really great, I have been successful in losing a huge amount of weight, and I do have hair that I grew out kinda long.

Today my health is much better than a year ago. I wear a 30" waist pant now or a size 8Petite or a Small or Medium shirt. A year ago I was wearing a size 20WP and a 2X. I looked so swollen in every way.

What is next during the next year? Well...definitely losing the rest, not regaining, firming it up, lasiks eye surgery, and giving the girls a lil lift.

Congrats on your incredible loss and success... and congrats on your first year anniversary!

It really does sound like you are a different person and that you are happy with the new and slim you!!!

Wow, I love these posts, they are sooo inspiring! Congratulations on all your success and on your awesome attitude! Keep us posted on those last ten pounds, and all your other pursuits. I know a lot of folks who have had Lasik and LOVE it!!!

Yay! Congrats!!!

Congratuations. What an accomplishment. Reading what your worries were at the beginning reminds me of my own insecurities. I'm looking forward to one year. I was sleeved January 5th. I've lost 25.5 lbs since surgery. I'm stuck at 184 now. Sometimes when I am in a stall, I worry that that is IT! And that I won't lose anymore. You give me hope.

Congratulations - what a wonderful year it's been! Great job! Also, I had lasik surgery several years ago - LOVE IT! Second best thing I've ever done for myself.

CONGRATZ!!!! Way to go
