I DON'T BELIEVE WHERE I'M AT

Aug 16, 2010

AUG. 17 2010 17 MONTHS SINCE MY GASTRIC BYPASS . TIME HAS GONE BY SO QUICKLY AND I'M AMAZED AT WHERE I'M AT . ON AUG. 11 I HAD HERNIA SURGERY IN WINDSOR . I HAD A FEW COMPLICATIONS BUT EVERYTHING WENT WELL . ON SUNDAY AUG. 15 IWEIGHED MYSELF FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A MONTH . I ALMOST FELL OFF THE SCALE . I WEIGHED 175 LBS IN MY UNDERWEAR . THATS 211 LBS. LESS THAN I STARTED IN THIS WHOLE JOURNEY . IF SOMEONE HAD TOLD ME I WOULD LOSE THIS MUCH WEIGHT I WOULD HAVE SAID SHUT THE FRONT DOOR THAT COULDN'T HAPPEN TO ME . WELL IT DID HAPPEN TO ME AND I'M FOREVER THANKFUL I MADE THAT TOUGH DECISION TO HAVE WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY . I HAVE ENOUGH EXTRA SKIN NOW TO START A COATS FOR KIDS PROGRAM OF MY OWN BUT I'LL DEAL WITH IT AFTER I GET OVER THIS OTHER SURGERY . NOW THAT MY HERNIA IS REPAIRED I'LL BE ABLE TO DO MORE EXCERCISE AS THE HERNIA WAS QUITE SEVERE AND SLOWED ME UP SIGNIFICANTLY. PEOPLE KEEP TELLING ME I NEED TO STOP LOSING WEIGHT THAT I LOOK JUST RIGHT . I KEEP TELLING THEM I'M JUST DOING WHAT I WAS TAUGHT TO DO WAY BACK BEFORE WLS. . I AVOID THE FOOD AND DRINK I'M SUPPOSED TO AVOID , AND I EAT AND DRINK WHAT I,M SUPPOSED TO  . I DO EAT WELL AND OFTEN I THINK IT'S BECAUSE IT'S THE RIGHT FOOD AND DRINK COMBO THAT HAS WORKED FOR ME . I HAVE GIVEN UP ALCOHOL WHICH WAS VERY  DIFFICULT BUT I'M OKAY WITH IT . YOU SEE WHEN IT COMES TO ALCOHOL I'M NOT THE SHARPEST KNIFE IN THE DRAWER ,BECAUSE AFTER A FEW DRINKS I NEVER WORRIED ABOUT WHAT I ATE AND EVENTUALLY I'D PUT MY WEIGHT BACK ON . SO BY ELIMINATING ALCOHOL I CAN ELIMINATE THE PART OF ME THAT DOESN'T LISTEN TO REASON . WELL THATS MY STORY FOR NOW I'LL KEEP YOU POSTED AS TIME MARCHES ON. THIS HAS TRULY BEEN AN AMAZING RIDE , AND I URGE YOU IF YOU'RE HAVING SECOND THOUGHTS ABOUT WLS. PLEASE TALK TO ME OR ONE OF MY FRIENDS ON THIS WEBSITE AND I ASSURE YOU YOU'LL BE GLAD YOU DID IT . GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF YOU ON YOUR JOURNEY AND I HOPE YOU ARE AS LUCKY AS I AM . IT IS TRULY THE GREATEST THRILL OF MY LIFE .............ROGER
