3 1/2 years out from Surgery!

Jul 30, 2014

I have been so busy with life that I have not checked into OH in over 2 years!  Just stopping by to briefly say that life is good.  Surgery was a good idea.  Things in general are going great!  As a side note... I bottomed out at 104 in April or May of 2012... a full 120 lbs. gone, over half my weight.  Slowly, I have regained 26 lbs and am stable at 130.  It takes work... sticking to my plan even today (as much as possible since I now team drive cross country in a big rig with my husband).  I still dump if I eat sugar or fats...  I still get the sneezes if I eat one bite too many.  I still have extra skin but I look like a million bucks in clothes.  :-)  I have not had the foamies or retched up a "hairball" of meat in almost 2 years.  I learned how to chew, what not to eat, and what not to eat too much of!  I still do protein shakes, take my vitamins, eat cheese sticks, beef jerky, and yogurt with protein powder.  I still ask for a "to go" box to be brought with my meal so I can divide it before I take the 1st bite even.  I don't drink coffee protein shakes anymore and I don't have to take an acid reducer pill near as often... go figure.  I still try to get in my water... my downfall is non-carbonated energy drinks while I'm driving on my shift... but it could be worse.  My husband, who was my 3rd husband and I remarried him after my 4th husband passed away, loves me and loves that I'm this shape, this attractive, and in this good of health for 60 years of age.  He is 51.  I hope the state of the world does not change so drastically that we all can't get our vitamins and protein powders etc...  I suspect it will ... but I hope not while we are alive.  So... that's it for now and I hope to come back again and compare my new update with this report.  LOL  Take care and hope you are well too!!
