All is still going very well. I feel so grateful for this second chance to have a quality life. My labs, which I had done in the past few weeks, are great. I feel wonderful!

One year and one day post-surgery
on May 6, 2009 1:40 am
It's a year and a day since my surgery and I couldn't be happier. I've lost essentially half of myself! I have improved my quality of life and feel like a totally different person. I not only can walk with my cane, I can walk without my cane too! I continue to follow all of my doctor's instructions, protein first, no drinking before or after eating for atleast 30 minutes, supplementing with vitamins, protein (I use Unjury mixed with UpCalD 3 or 4 times daily) and getting my B12 shot at my follow up visits every three months. In January of 2007 I weighed 350 lbs + when I had a stress test for angina....I now weight 174 lbs. I also go to the YMCA pool daily for 45 minutes to a hour to swim and exercise. My life has turned from a burden to a pleasure and I'm extremely grateful! Oh, I also quit smoking in 2006 and am grateful to have never even had a craving for a cigarette since I quit! Thanks to all for your support along the way! And good luck to those embarking on this wonderful journey!
