7 month update
Oct 13, 2008
Today I am 7 months out and just hit ONEderland this morning! I never posted on my 6 month date, so will update that now. My checkup went great, all my bloodwork was fine, cholesteral was a tad high, but Dr. L said he wouldn't treat it, asked my if I had been eating alot of shrimp (I had!). Yes, so far, I am glad I did this, it had been an interesting ride. I can eat anything, just in small amounts, which is how I looked at this ride to begin with. Didn't want to be on "a diet" for the rest of my life, but I think I usually make pretty good choices. I do indulge in a treat now and then, but can only handle a couple bites, and that is all I need!
I want to add that I have really enjoyed meeting everyone on the SH board, and it has been fun meeting at the support groups and occassionally dinner. They are a great bunch, and I have appreciated their support! It has been nice being with a group that have been through the same thing I have, everyone knows what's going on and can relate to everything!
Sometimes I say to myself "I really can't believe I did this to myself and took this step! It is a big decision to make, and it took me over three years of research to finally come to it! But I want to say I am glad I did!"
Will post a current photo this afternoon!
