UPDATE January 30th 2009

Jan 30, 2009

I am happy to report at my 6 month post-op doctors appointment a grand total of 133 pounds lost since April 16, 2008. To recap...50 pounds lost before surgery and 86 pounds lost since surgery. I feel great and am walking 3X a week for 30 minutes each time and 1X a week a 3 mile walk with a great group of friends. (Thanks , Ladies) I still use my recumbant exercise bike also. I am comfortably wearing a size 22 jeans with no lycra and no elastic. A far cry from the 6X mens stretch pants/sweats I was wearing not so long ago. More important than sizes, inches , and pounds are the numbers like...blood pressure 124 over 80 and blood sugars that are more in the manageable range. I continue to sing the praises of the team that helped me achieve so many miracles...Weight Wise , Rita, Amy, Cheryl, the other Amy, Jessica, Dr. K , and Dr. Toby Broussard...a surgeon who absolutely gets the big picture and loves what he does for others. I am enjoying the new life I have been given. I wring every drop of life out of every day!!!! How many people can say that???
