Surgery finally happened.

Jun 06, 2010

I know I haven't updated in a while, so here is the past several months in a nut shell.  I did awesome on the Liver reduction diet.  I started on January 19, 2010 and weighed 319.5lbs.  I had surgery on May 17, 2010 and weighed 267lbs on the day of surgery.  Wow, that's 52.5 lbs lost in about 4 months.  That's even before I had surgery. 

Surgery went well and was released on the 4th day.  Then was readmitted same afternoon with an illus (bowel obstruction).  I was in the hospital a total of 11 days.  It was rough during that time, but now I am 3 weeks after surgery and starting to feel a little better each day.  

I currently weigh 250 lbs.  I was insulin dependent and now I take NO insulin.  I was on all kinds of blood pressure, cholesterol, asthma, and Insulin medicine.  I am now only on 2 pills, besides my vitamins.  Even with the vitamins, I take way less medicines now. 

I am very upbeat and optimistic.  My oldest son will be a senior in the fall and all I keep thinking is I will be thin at his graduation.  I know I am in the honeymoon phase, but I hope I never lose my drive to meet my weight loss goal.  

Well, I am beginning the second phase of this journey and can't wait to begin my new and improved life.
