One year surgiverary today!!!!!!
It kinda' snuck up on me, but one year has passed since the best thing I have ever done for myself health-wise. Hard to believe it has been a year. Feeling really good both physically and mentally and enjoying being able to do things I had long put on the shelf. Just got back from Disney World with my daughter and three grandchildren. And I rode the rides and fit in the seats just like any 'normal' person would. I even managed to stick mostly to my weight loss plan. Smoked turkey leg was my Thanksgiving day dinner, and there was enough for everybody! At one time I would have eaten the whole thing and maybe even fought over the bone! I manage to find kids chicken wraps, from which I ate the grilled chicken breast strips along with a little of whatever fruit or veggie was available. Took deer jerky and string cheese along with plenty of Crystal lite in a little cooler, and I was good to go. Since it was my grandson's birthday, I did taste the cake he had, which was nasty, but the vanilla ice cream was quite good so I had a few bites of it. In the past I would have eaten the whole thing!
I am so glad I have my sleeve!!!!
