I've posted my story before, it started out not pleasant ( had 2 surgeries within 1 week) but once I got home in May I started gaining strength back and losing weight, of course. It was a hard time, having to learn to walk and take care of myself again, as well as adjusting to the new stomach and taking all the supplements (plus the extra meds I needed from the 2 surgeries, like blood thinner shots... eek). But one year later I'm fully recovered, my weight has stabilized at 135 pounds, I'm off all meds including insulin and all diabetic meds. The only things I have to take now are my supplements, and I do that pretty religiously. It's a whole new life. I've read others that say they just stop and stare at themselves in the mirror, can't believe it's the same person, well that's me. I've always been heavy, always battling the <!--more--> demons, and still do battle the "head hunger," and always will. Here's to the next year, may it be not near as dramatic as last year!

what a year it’s been. I’ve posted my story before, it started out

May I started gaining strength back and losing weight, of course. It
was a hard time, having to learn to walk and take care of myself
again, as well as adjusting to the new stomach and taking all the
supplements (plus the extra meds I needed from the 2 surgeries, like
