Haven't seen a Doctor in forever and feeling awesome...

Jan 18, 2015

It has been 2 years and 4 months since surgery and I have not felt this good since I was twenty years old. There have been some bouts with low blood sugar but I have recently found tools to maintain especially bite size candy and B-12 complex sublingual liquid. I am still waiting to hear back as to whether OH will post my before and after pics. Since before the surgery I have lost a total of 100 pounds and I am maintaining my weight at 195 pounds. I did weigh a little less than that but became weak and decided that my goal was met. I believe my extra skin would probably weigh between 15 and 20 pounds so my weight would probably fall into my main goal of 170 to 180 which is below my goal.There are things that they do not tell you for lack of a better word that no two bariatric patients are the same.

I will continue to advance with my exercise and being fifty is no easy task. I do notice that people in public take notice of me now and it feels amazing. They used to grin at me and make sad faces as if I was afflicted in my obesity. I believe that this surgery has done wonders to my life I wished I had gotten it when I was younger but I am satisfied that now I am younger and have a more of quality life that I would not trade for a million bowls of Ice cream. They say the greatest feeling is when someone can put their arms around you but I know that is not all true, because the greatest feeling is when you can put your arms around yourself. If you cannot love yourself then how can others love you. As for now I leave you with this a quote from Tom Stoppard, "Every exit is an entrance to somewhere else!"

Peace out...
