Do you have cancer?
Dec 14, 2009
One of my friend's wife asked him if I was ill or had cancer because I was losing so much weight. Of course he laughed and told her that I had wls. She is always stopping me in the hall at church and asks me how I am and I smile and say I am surviving my battle. That is a good friend that you tell him not to tell anybody and he doesn't even tell his wife. I have not told a lot of people except those close to me about my surgery. I feel I did it for me and my family not them. My biggest obstacle has been my left foot and knee. You see 2 weeks after my surgery I was walking in the front door my wife meeting me at my right and our dog on the left. I did not want to step on the dog or my wife so I backed up and step on the door threshold wrong and tore the ligment on side of my foot and fractured the bone and my knee two days later swelled to a size of a melon. So I have been in a brace for my knee and a walking cast for my foot. The doctor says the week of Christmas maybe the boot will come off. Well I still lift weights at gym and I am toning on top but my legs are a different story. Finally found a Whey that I can do that doesn't make me gag. It is Any Whey and it is tastless. I am excited that I started my journey at 292 and now I am 218. I have found myself going clothes shopping in my 16 yr old son's closet. He has so many clothes that still have tags on them. I have given him my 38 jeans because I am now in a very loose 34. I still have dunlap syndrom ( you know dunlap over the belt) It is sure alot smaller than it was so I am okay with it. Well my wife had a revision one week after me and she has lost 45 lbs. We are within 10 lbs of eachother so she told me it was on she was going to stay lighter than me. I am looking forward to one day being able to carry my bride of 18 years over the threshold. I don't care if she is lighter as long as we both are healthy for eachother and our 3 boys.
