I DID IT!!!

I went for my one year post op check up and the surgeon's office is pleased and so am I at the weight I am at and I will now start maintaining my current weight.

Yay for me!

I am so ready to continue this journey and plan on nothing or any one stopping me from doing it even my bariatric hypoglycemia.

Bariatric hypoglycemia only happens in 2% of the people that have surgery. I found that out yesterday from the surgeon's office.

Well that's my story and I'm sticking to it. LOL

Thank you all if you happened to have read this.

Congrats!!!!

Did you lose weight the whole year or did you level off earlier?

Congrats Chelly!

I should have stated this that in 2008 I weighed 350 lbs.

In May 21st 2013 when I started my journey with meeting the surgeon I weighed 282 lbs.

On the day of surgery which was September 25th 2013 I weighed 242 lbs.

As of yesterday I weighed 160 lbs and we agreed that I was close enough to a normal BMI and that I felt great at this weight that this is where I'm staying.

The bariatric hypoglycemia is different then regular hypoglycemia and is treated differently from what I was told yesterday.

I will meet with my nutritionist to figure out a game plan.

I have sagging skin but I don't care because I am so much healthier now then I've ever been after being overweight and obese most of my life.

This surgery saved me I truly believe that.

Congrats I am so happy for you I cant wait to see where I will be at when I am 1 year out i am currently at almost 4 months post opt, keep up the great work its encouraging.
