Hello

Hello friends. Its been awhile since I last posted. I havent forgotten you all, nor have I tried to avoid posting, but I really have been very busy. Alot of things have taken place. I have death in my family. My brothers have had surgery, I had both kidneys worked on, now Im doing ok. My eating is still the same. I worry alot about eating. Its so hard to stop eating to lose weight. BUT, to me its harder to eat to keep healthy. I have to do it so I work on it. I try now to get little meals in during the day instead of making my pouche crowed all at once. I do now get all my protein and vitimans in that im suppose too. I eat like a bird but for my size now my pcp says Im doing fine. Im glad I put off my tummy tuck when I did. I know now it was not the right time to do it last sept. In a while I will be ready for it I do believe. Im turning 50 years old this year. Im in alot better health than I have been in my life.

I have no regrets at all for having gastric bypass. This lady I know of that lived near by passed away from complications from prescription drugs. She too also had gastric bypass which people are saying she died from complications from that. Sometimes things are done at the wrong time. Yes, she was probably not ready for it since she had so many other things going on in her life. She stopped eating entirely. It aggrivates me when people tell me that I was going down that road. I dont eat much because I cant. Its not because Im afraid of gaining weight that is completely different. I was bound and termined to have this done. Some people get it done for all the wrong reasons even if they convince the doctors that its for their health. Sometimes those things are over looked. I can actually say, if I had not had it done. I would not be here posting to you today.

Im still a strong believer in Jesus. That he helps those who ask for it, and have the faith. I believe he gives the means for the doctors to help him do his work. There is a reason for everything in life. I hope you all are doing fine. I know you must be feeling alot better now that you have lost weight as I do. Don't think this a fad its not a fad, its a tool to help you survive and to make your life better. Anyways. I hope you all have a year, I will keep in touch from time to time. Im still around in good old North East Missouri waving at you all down yonder. Love you all....God Bless and keep you safe. Craig
