Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

It was roughly 13 months ago that I started down the path to WLS by getting a referral from my doctor to the bariatric clinic.

One year and two days ago I met with the nutritionist and was put on a 1500 calorie a day meal plan to lose the required pre-op weight. Yea, I kinda cheated a bit on Thanksgiving… and Christmas. But I made the commitment and did a lot better than I had the year before.

Now here it is a year, and bout 185 pounds later, and I am truly thankful I made the decision to have this surgery.

I have no doubt I will be here for many many more Thankgivings to come than I otherwise would have been…. years I’ll be able to further enjoy the other many things I’m thankful for, such as my friends and family… and also thanks to the surgery I can truly add good health to the list of things I am thankful for.

Enjoy your day everyone.
