Boy have I been excited for this day to come! Tomorrow is my one year surgiversary. I have lost a total of 115 lbs from my highest weight, and 95 lbs since the day of surgery. I went from a size 22 to a size 6 (actually I'm wearing size 4 pants right now, but they're cut pretty big). I don't exercise as much as I should, and I have the flab to prove it, but overall, I have to say, I look DAMN GOOD!! My self-esteem has improved by about a thousand times, and I finally look like the person I feel like inside. I don't count calories or carbs, but I don't eat fast food either. I try to eat like a "normal" person, cooking at home more, choosing light things when I feel like it, but not depriving myself of the good things in life. Life is good, y'all.

Good luck to everyone out there.
