3 years out
Aug 31, 2010
Today is my three year anniversary, and I am happy to say that I've been within 5 - 10 pounds of my goal weight. My plan is to set a new goal of losing at least 30 pounds through exercise [walking, gym, bicycling] and a stricter adherance to drinking lots of water and increasing protein. I have been healthy and happy since the surgery. My Type 2 diabetes is resolved. Blood pressure down, bad cholesteral down/good up, triglcerides down. Protein levels need work. Best thing after surgery? Never having to think about stepping outside to walk, worried that I would fall behind, get tired, sweat. It really comes down to little things like that and not wondering if I would break a chair if I sat in it. To everyone considering the journey, please research it and make a decision that fits your goals. I don't regret have the GBPS. I was one of the lucky ones, with support from family, a choice of a good surgical team, and the support of the Tallahassee Weight Loss group friends. I also was very fortunate to not experience any after surgery problems, except for "foamies" early on. Good Luck! Karin
