WOW MOMENT IN SURGEON'S OFFICE
I posted about 10 days ago that I had not been doing very well... I had an appointment in my surgeon's office and I had gained three pounds. When I was waiting to see him I was dreading being scolded and he came in and gave me a hug and told me that my hair and skin and muscle tone were better than he had ever seen since I had been his patient.
I have started working out a Curves since I saw him last. I told him that I had been through a clinical depression and gained some weight, but had lost most of it by working out and walking. He had thought because of a back problem that I would probably never do more than water aerobics.
My co-morbid of blood pressure and asthma are gone. I was on narcotics for my back pain and that is gone. I take an occasional prescription non- narcotic pain reliever for my back.
He was very compassionate but put me on a restrictive eating plan and wants to see me monthly for a while.
I know I can follow this eating plan. It's reasonable and I can do it... one day at a time....
Blessings to all,
Carolyn
