Wouldnt consisder myself a success story yet, but here goes.....

I had surgery on 3/15/10. The surgery literally saved my life. There are times when I still see 342lbs when I look in the mirror, but then there are times when I will catch my reflection and say “damn, I’m skinny!”. Is that weird?

Anyhoo, a year later, I still have great restriction. Some days more than others. I can usually pack in 2-3 oz of dense Protein plus about 1-2oz of veggies in one sitting. 5oz max (meat and veggie) at one time. My hunger hasn’t really returned, I just get an empty feeling in my belly, though cravings have come back and usually attack me around my TOM. Too much sugar makes me sick and if I don’t get enough liquids and protein in, I will stall. I haven’t really exercised all that much in the past year. Practically not at all. I probably would be at goal if I had. I did recently buy a bike and as soon as the weather breaks, I will be taking up cycling and running. I am planning on doing a 5k in September.

Life is better and I am looking forward to the future! To those on the fence about having wls; just do it! it will change your life.

Congratulations!!! You have done great. The pics are awesome.

Thank you for sharing how it feels like 1 year post op

I am so proud of you! You look great. How are you sleeping? I snore now and my husband has a hard time sleeping. My WLS is June 10th. Do you see any changes in that way?

You look amazing, happy, vibrant and yes, YOUNG. Thanks for sharing your success!
