5 months and 5 days out...
Sep 18, 2009
It has been 5 months and 5 days since my surgery and I am feeling great. Weigh in today was 198. A total of 61 pounds gone. I have been talking to several people who are considering having the surgery done. I tell them that it is a very personal decision to make but that if they chose to have it done they won't regret it. I think of what I was like 6 months ago and and can't believe the difference. I am walking more now than in all of my 45 years of life. I enjoy it now. I am trying to get bills paid off so we can join our local YMCA and get in more exercise. Walking our dog Harley is great but he likes to stop every 3 seconds to sniff the ground or eat something so you can't really get a good cardio workout going with him. He gave me my first real scare as a dog parent last night as we came home and he had gotten my camera off my desk and took the batteries out of it and one of them was missing. I called the vet and they said he really should have an x-ray to see if he did swallow it. If he had he would have had to hve surgery because it was something that wouldn't pass on it's own and could cause serious problems if he had punctured the casing and it was leaking into his system. We took him down to the vet at 10:00 last night. Thank God he didn't swallow the battery (AA) and I have since found it hidden under my recliner in the fabric that keeps stuff from falling onto the carpet underneath. He is a great dog but he likes to chew everything he can get his lips on. Now that I know he can get up onto my desk I will have to be more careful about putting things there that I don't want him to get. After we came home I found myself wanting to eat something as this is how I used to handle stress. The only thing I had was a small glass of skim milk to take my pills with and that was it. Guess I had better get breakfast and take halrey for his morning walk. Hope everyone has a blessed day.
