One Year

Jan 13, 2009

Well, it has been a year.  I went for my annual check up last week.  The surgeon was very pleased with my weightloss.  He did say that he wasn't sure that I would lose anymore.  I am certainly planning to prove him wrong.  He said that almost 100% of his patients never get to "normal" weight.  I want to do just that.  I am a little discouraged that I haven't made it to goal yet, and it gets harder everyday.  The weight doesn't just fall off anymore.  With the unexpected neck and shoulder surgeries and recovery this past year, I have not been able to exercise like I would have liked to.  I am now back to riding my recumbent bike and hopefully soon I can REALLY exercise.  I will probably hate it when I get to start, but for now, I am looking forward to it.  I am also looking forward to going back to work in about 6-8 weeks.  This year has not been what I expected.  I guess I expected a whole new body. What I got was an abused 51 year old body that is much thinner and is now paying the price for my old ways.  I wish I had done this surgery 20 years ago!
