A year ago today, I underwent what became the best decision of my life; my vertical gastric sleeve surgery. At 286lbs, I decided that it was time to take control of my life. Those first few months after were probably the hardest months of my life. Learning how to eat again and being so afraid of failing. Almost regretting the decision as I recovered…but I definitely don’t regret it now. I am so thankful to myself for making the decision to get #wls It has shown me all of the things I am capable of; all of the dedication and hard work I can achieve. A year later, I have gained more then the 115lbs I have lost. I am happy. I am healthy. I’ve faced my biggest fear since surgery: gaining weight back (almost 20lbs) and was able to lose it again. I may not be quite at goal yet, but I am happy where I am. I will keep striving to be healthy, but it’s not entirely about losing the weight now. Losing the weight is no longer important. What’s important is continuing to be healthy, to be happy, and to love life and myself.
