One year out

Mar 31, 2010

Well, it has been one year and 8 days since my surgery.  It turns out to be the best thing that I have ever done for myself.  I no longer take any meds for hbp, diabetes2, depression, and the cholestrol med has been cut in half.  I am able to get down on the floor to play with my granddaughter(3yrs. old), and to clean out the very bottom cupboards in my kitchen.  some of the stuff in there hadn't seen the light of day for years. 
My surgeon said he was real pleased with my progress and didn't need to see me again for another year unless there is a problem.  Have an appointment with my nutritionist in April and hope the same goes for her. 
I asked him about having a glass of wine.  He told me to go home and have one.  And I would know if I can have it again.   
I haven't tried it yet, but I wanted to ask.  
I haven't had any problem with dumping at all.  Nothing bothers me.  By that I mean sugar.  Still find that if I eat too fast or do not chew enough I will have a problem.    
I have lost 118# and would like to loose about 15-20 more, just to be in the normal range once.  So far in a size 14 pants, and a large sized shirt.  This is the smallest I can ever remember being, wore a 18 in high school. 
Really very happy with myself.
