Default One Year Anniversary

Hi! I just passed my one year anniversary. Here are some thoughts on things I can (or can't) do since my surgery.

I've lost 83 lbs. I hoped to lose 100 by now but . . . I am very comfortable in my body for the first time in years. I am wearing size Large or extra large instead of 2 - 3x. My pants are 12 - 14. My bathing suit is size 12. I can eat almost anything I want just not much of it. I could have lost more if I was more diligent about what I eat but I still enjoy eating.

No more diabetic medication and my blood sugar is under good control.

My knees no longer hurt.

I've got a new hairdo and have started wearing makeup. Men are starting to give me a second look, holding the door open for me, smiling and saying hello! Haven't been asked out on a date yet, though. But I am just beginning to think about that. I've been single for a really long time.

I am much more active. I go camping with my daughter and grandchildren, ride on their boat, go to the gym 2 - 3 times a week. I can walk a long time without having to stop for knee pain. My kids ask me if I need to rest and I can say no, I'm fine.

The bad part is that I can't be too far away from the bathroom. An hour after I eat I must go to the bathroom. I get stomach cramps if I eat the wrong thing or too much or eat too fast. I still want to eat more than I can. Its hard if you have something really good to only eat a few bites.

Just thought I would share.

Kyle

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

Congrats On Your One Yr Mark And Thank You For Informing Us What You Can Do Now.

Its Good To Know You Can Eat Almost Anything Now I Was Always Curious About That. Even Though We Wont Be Able To Eat As Much As We Used To. Just KNOWING Makes Me Happy THAT I WILL BE ABLE TO Have A Bite. One Or 2 Bites Of Pizza Or Pasta Or Chinese Makes Me Happy!

Its So Great To Hear You Doing So Many Things Out Doors. Hey If You Dont Mind Me Saying If Your Interested In Dating Again Have You Ever Thought Of Meeting Someone Online. I Met My Husband That Way. We Met On Match.com Lol

Congratulations on your anniversary Kyle! You sound wonderful! You'll get to your goal weight, I'm sure. But you are an inspiration! I can't wait to be where you are -- especially a size 12!!!! WOW!
