7th Year anniversary
Aug 02, 2012
Wow - 7 years. It's gone by really fast. As I look back at the last 7 years I still say I'd do it again. Post-op life hasn't always been easy (gallbladder removed, exploratory surgery to find out what was causing severe abdominal pain, increased IBS systems, still occasionally bring back up food (usually pasta) when I eat too much), but the pluses have been worth it. High blood pressure gone (actually run too low sometimes) and no signs of diabetes (again, run too low sometimes), look better, feel better - generally healthier. My orginal goal was 135lbs - hit a low of about 132. My heart didn't like the 130's so went up to the low 140's. Stayed there for about 5 years with little to no effort. In the last year and a half I've had to struggle more - my high has been 158. I'm now sitting at 150 and would really like to get down to the mid 140s again, so as the school year starts up again I hope to get down there again.
