Over 4 years out!
So how is everyone doing with their surgery now that we're "oldtimers" with 4 years of experience?
I went from 367 to 206 and now weigh 230. I'm dealing with the death of my Dad and lack of exercise because of putting my children's needs first (and my need for sleep). It's time to quit hi"bear"nating and get moving before I take my kids to school at 6:30 am.
My goal is that by my birthday (May 12th), I'll be down to 205. Yes, that's still "obese", but it's a heck of a lot healthier than I was at 367; especially since I'm only 5'0.5" tall now. My diabetes is starting to creep back (sugars are still only 100 but they've been inching up from the 80s about 2 years ago). My A1c is still only 5.5%, so I'm doing ok in the long-term. My cholesterol and triglycerides are creeping up also. The answer is, of course, get back to exercising and be more careful about what I eat and how I eat.
