little steps big moments

Dr called Friday with my blood work and said everything was great and my cholesterol was 112!! I had high cholesterol before. I also have not taken my actos for diabetes since before the surgery and everything was fine so I am pretty sure that means I am not diabetic! I also went to my daughters tap recital and I fit in the chairs without turning sideways !!!! I love this surgery!! Oh and the biggest accomplishment for me was rollerskating with my kids at the ymca. I actually got on them and skated. I did fall one time and then that was enough but that was like 25 mins after I started. I was sitting there watching my kids skate with tears in my eyes I am finally joining in not sitting and watching!

Hi Dee Great bloodwork results. You must feel so much better And how wonderful about the skating. The best part is fitting in the seats. How's your food intake? I have been trying new things and sometimes I feel like I can eat a lot and other times hardly at all. I was at a 10 day standstill, but finally lost a pound today, for a total of 41 pounds. Last night, I slept on my side and even my stomach. I was so sore this morning , but I did it! I hope I didn't damage any of Dr. F's fabulous internal work. Take care Shar

That's great news, Dee!! Keep it up my greatest moment will be getting back on a horse again. That's the main reason I did this. Riding is like the only thing I really enjoy doing, and I haven't been able to for a long time. It was getting too hard to get on and off, and wasn't really fair to make a horse haul me around. But once I get a second job and get some of my financial stuff worked out, I'm working on getting myself a horse, finally.

Oh Dee I'm so excited for you!!! Wow, great results on your blood work and way to go on skating. Those are some great "wow" moments! Keep up the good work! Cheers!

Wow, congratulations-you must feel great! Isn't amazing how much life can change in such a short time?
