Long time~ no post
So, here I am, 2 years,3months out from my DS. I have been checking in and responding to a few posts here and there but haven't done an update on myself since last year!
Since my DS 3-18-09 I have lost 128#. I Feel good, am off the diabetes meds, high bloodpressure meds ( 118/70 isn't too bad! ) and off high cholorestral meds. I am down from a 26/28 pant size to a comfortable 14. Tops usually a lg or med. depending on the cut. I have flabby arms, thighs, and belly,but I can live with it for now. I need to hit the lotto to have plastics done! I love shopping again. Coldwater Creek is my favorite . I have a jacket for everyday of the week from them!
I can move around good and easy. I can climb into the back of the pickup without help , stack wood, garden, chase my rotten dogs and not have to sit down and rest. Life is enjoyable. I have started trout fishing! We are going for a week soon!
I have days when all I want to do is EAT ( like today) It is days like these that I don't know what to do with myself. And then there are days nothing sounds good. I drink protien shakes a couple of times a week, I'm trying to have one a day at work. It's amazing how well they hold me over. I've been to a couple of orthopedic docs this year and they are very pleased of my weight loss and how my knees and joints are happy again!
I had my 2 yr check up in San Francisco in April and all was well. Just a couple of minor tweeks in my vits.
Now, would I do this again??? Heck yeah! Would I recommend this to others ?? Heck yeah! I can honestly say... I LOVE MY DS!!
AWWW I attend Sj meetings. I miss our emails! I am doing well -100 lbs GONE and have been in maintence mode.really scared to gain weight... I fluctuate with 5 lbs up and down ...labs are over due. Need to go in the morning before work. So much engery than ever before. I hope to see you soon.
