Grateful - 9 months out
Nov 18, 2009
Well, its been 9 months since my wonderful surgery! I still believe this is the best thing I have EVER done for myself. I have lost 72 pounds so far. I have about 15 pounds to go. I have not really lost any weight for a couple of months now. I am really pretty much stable. I do want to lose more, however, I am now so happy with the success, that I am not really in a hurry anymore to go further. This is a lifelong commitment and I don't have to do this in a rush. I have already reaped the major benefits of this surgery. Mostly not having the diabetes and all its medications anymore. My blood pressure is in normal ranges, my cholesterol too. I am on the edge of "normal weight" according to the BMI standards. So now I feel pretty normal. I don't feel like I stand out as the "big" person in the room. Anyway... I am continuing to try to lose weight, and I do want to work harder at it. In fact, I am excited that I want to start jogging!! Its something I have never done! I raced my 15 year old son to my car the other day, and I actually enjoyed the run! I never was able to get those knees up and go! That was awsome! Those are the things that make you go... THANK YOU GOD FOR GIVING ME MY LIFE BACK!! I am grateful.
