Such a lifestyle change I did not make a big deal out of my 3 year Surgiversary
Hello - I still read most days even though I do not post as often as I used to. It is hard to believe I just celebrated 3 years of lifestyle change on 11/19. Prior to WLS I weighed as high as 299 pounds, was on 6 meds for Diabetes and high BP. I am now hovering between 195-205 with comfort range being 195-199. I run 5 k on a regular basis, play hockey, climb mountains, go to the gym 3-5 times a week and am an all around more confident person. I changed careers in february after 27 years at my previous job and I just returned from a 2 week work trip to China , things I would not have done without WLS. Some days can be a challenge, most of the issues I have are with how I see or perceive myself in the mirror. some days I do not see the changes. Have a great Thanksgiving folks.
