2009- update after 3 years

Sep 12, 2009

I am back! After being bitter; blaming the doc sort of, for my stomach getting bigger and not losing 1/2 even, of the weight I wanted to; I have realized I am SO much better healthwise and happiness wise that I feel I AM a success! I just posted on a message board post of "wows!" and could list 9....so what's so bad about that,eh?
here's my wow list and my post :
I was pretty active on this board as a pre op; and new post op; then just started to "lurk" as I felt I was the exception to the "DS Rule" since I have not made it to goal weight. Not even 1/2 way.

I am now into year 3 and have JUST come to realize how much better my life is in general.
I walk more;
fit into 18's and 20's (was in 24's);
more confidence;
NO DIABETES !;
all my blood levels of everything are great (except low calcium & citrate causing me kidney stones- but I am actively working at this!) ;
feel so much healthier;
do so much, much more than before;
spread the news about the DS as often as possible,
and if I could exercise more I know more would fall away effortlessly! (I have severe Rheumatoid Artritis). The fact that I am not gaining is a MAJOR blessing!!!
Did I count right at 9 WOWS!?
