One year has past!! On 7/15/11 (A WHOLE YEAR!) I had weight loss surgery (Gastric Band), it was one of the best decisions I could have made. On the day of surgery I weighed in at 308 lbs, I'm currently down 64 lbs and 4 pant sizes, I have 64 lbs to go ...until my goal weight. it has been a tough year but it was all worth it. Although I have a ways to go I am so happy with my results so far. Now do I like exercising?! Negative! But it is what I HAVE to do, it's a new way of life for me, I accept it. I am healthier both physically and mentally and can't wait to reach my goal!
Here's to the next year and me hitting my ultimate goal weight of 180!!
Happy Bandiversary to me!!

I thought that I would finally post my pics so far along my journey. I am almost halfway to goal and almost at the 1/2 year mark. Slow and steady will win this battle!! Until I saw these side by side, I didn't realize the difference in my face! ;)

Surgery was June 18th, 2012 and on September 19, 2012 I took some 50 pounds down pictures! The sun was of course completely in my eyes. I took some with the same outfit from June, and then some in an outfit that actually fits.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
