Two years out and loving life!
Dec 03, 2008
Well, in a nutshell, it's been two years three months since my surgery and my new tool is doing great! I still wake up every morning thanking God for the blessing of being in control of my eating and weight and for my health.
During the past two years there were no surgical complications. Have stuck to my doctors orders TO THE LETTER. Okay, maybe I don't work out four times a week, but I'm not that far off. But I credit his recommendations as the key to my success. There have been some emotional lows, like now I have to face and deal with my problems and not turn to food as a way out. Personal growth is good though painful at times.
I have gradually become more active trying things I never imagined. I bike ride, hike (4 to 10 miles), jog, dance (till 5 a.m.), snorkel, and swim. Wow, it blows my mind still just typing these activities and remember how much fun they were, the sense of accomplishment is unreal!
During this Thanksgiving and Christmas Season, I wish everyone the blessing of Peace and Health!
