And the lab results are...
GREAT!  Yep, that's what my doc said.  I was stoked!!!  All my vitamin levels are either on target or better than average.  YAY!  I do have some occasional episodes of low blood sugar but it's weird because I eat such a minimal amount of carbs and sugar.  Usually, they say it's after a high carb meal.  Not me, but then again, my whole WLS journey has been different than most others.  Before surgery, my doc explained how my body doesn't process carbs like a "normal" person's body so I am very careful about carbs and sugar. 

I have currently lost 130lbs since surgery.  I can't believe it.  I feel it in my clothes each day.  It's amazing.  Someday I hope to actually *see* it in the mirror...  

Have to say I seriously miss my boobs.  I know that may sound vain and I don't regret having better health ... BUT ...it IS how I feel.  I'm a sensual chic and I miss those voluptuous parts of me.  

So I'm sitting at the doc's office in the waiting room and pic up a schedule for upcoming WLS group meetings (haven't been to one since surgery).  Start talking to this lady who is there for her first consult on WLS.  Two other ladies overhear us talking (they are also pre-op) and come over to ask me questions.  It was so cool and I really enjoyed sharing my experience with them!!  I hope they take whatever path is best for them.

Now get this.  My doc says I am a "model patient" with respect to my weight loss progress, exercise routine and food choices.  Ummm, me???  Blows my mind how much this surgery has changed my life.  

I hope this feeling lasts forever.  Well, I'll take what I can get - - whether "forever" exists or not.
