There Are No Tomorrow's

Jan 19, 2011

Getting the sleeve has taken me to realize that there are no more tomorrows and only todays. Remember
after eating all week we would all say I will go on a diet tomorrow. Or, tomorrow I will be better or better yet
MondayI will start my diet.
What I have come to realize is with getting my sleeve it has placed me in today. How can I make today the best day ever?
What is my sleeve going to teach me today? How am I going to continue my healthy journey today?

Now that I am almost 4 months out I no longer focus on getting on the scale but rather have a routine of weighing myself
once a week same day same time. My focus is now on exercise. I have never felt better now than ever in my whole adult life. My son is my trainer who challenges me more and more each day we go to the gym. If it weren't for him I think I would only be on the treadmill. I am lift weights. Last night I benched 125lbs. WOW I could not believe it. I also power walk and run for 30-45 minutes. 

I have also realized what foods make me feel better and it is more of a choice of what I want to eat than rather what I can. 
I feel that weight loss surgery is more than giving us the tool to lose weight but rather a new lease on life. Each day is an adventure, a learning experience a new journey. 


I cannot believe I no longer have headaches, joint pain, shortness of breath no more snoring. I now can run up the stairs. Ihaven't had Motrin since before my surgery and have only taken Tylenol a few times. Going to bed at night no longer requires me to take many meds to just get me to sleep. It is truly amazing. The greatest gift is no longer itching after I come in contact with water. Even my surgeon is amazed. 

I am truly the happiest I have ever been in my life. So, remember there is NO tomorrows there is only today. So make it the very best. 

Love to all
