8 Weeks since my surgery so far so good

Jun 16, 2010

My 1st blog and writing ever, so bare with me.  It has been 8 weeks now since my Surgery, April 21, 2010 and a lot has happened since then.  I had started at 375.5 lbs, and had weighed as much as 405 lbs at the lowest point in my life.  I have suffered from type 2 diabetes for the past few years. In the past 8 weeks I have dropped 55 lbs, much to my own amazement and my loving friends and family unwavering support.  Not only that been it has been 8 weeks since I have taken diabetes medication.  This to me amazes me the most,  a condition that has haunted and scared me for years has been put on the back burner and God willing with more weight loss and activities will never haunt me again. I was so scared that for years only my parents and brothers knew, I was scared to share and afraid that people would judge me negatively.  I have remembered points in my life when unchecked and filled with despair my sugar was out of control, even spiking over 300 once or twice.  It now sits around 85 to 110, great levels.  Its hard to describe how proud of myself and how good it feels to sit here typing this.  I know this is only a small part of my new life, 2 months in at the young age of 22. I cant wait to see what my new future has in store for me.

All I can say for right now is that I WILL NEVER LOOK BACK OR GIVE UP.

NO RETREAT, NO SURRENDER, NO REMORSE
