6 Months ago today...

Dec 02, 2009

at this very time, I was being wheeled into DS surgery!   I was scared, excited and so very, very hopeful.  As I look back, the best part of that time was that I had a glimmer of hope for my future. 

Prior to my surgery, I was becoming more and more depressed and hopeless....

BUT (and that's a BIG BUTT...)

6 months later, I have:
lost 61.5 lbs
lost my high cholesterol
found that I sleep better (still on the C-PAP, but this may be gone in another few months)
found patience that I did not ever have as a MO person
found that I am a much happier person
found clothes in my closet (that still have the tags on) that I can finally wear!!!!
 I can:
cross my legs above the knees
scratch my own back
reach that area that the sun doesn't shine on, better
clean my house without a bazillion breaks
and many WOWS that I am sure to remember later on...

I am not losing super fast but I am continuing to lose.  I had this major surgery because I spent  almost 40 years doing insanity dieting.   I have gained and lost 100's of pounds several times in my adult life and I have had enough of the crazy, guilt producing dieting!!!!!   I refuse to wake up every day promising myself that " this is the day that I start my new diet." only to screw it up  by noon and then chow down the rest of the day (or week****il I start the next diet!   I want the rest of my life to be healthy, happy and living life to the very fullest.  My DS is giving me all this and more!
I get my protein, fluids and vitamins/minerals in each and every day.  I put my health as a number #! top priority. 
I have just recently been able to start eating fresh fruit and veggies (ahhhh, so good!) and I have no problems with bathroom duties. 
All is well, I am loving my life and my DS!!!!
