4 weeks today!!

Hooray for me!! It has been 4 weeks today since surgery & I felt like telling all you guys & gals how happy that I am that I had surgery. My health has improved the most. My blood pressure is within normal range for the first time in 7 yrs. My blood sugars are terrific. I am tolerating solid food about 85% of the time. (I think I caught a virus this past weekend though!! YUK!!) My self esteem is not dong so bad either, I am wearing clothes that I havent been in since before my babies were born almost 10 yrs ago. People are telling me how wonderful I look & I have to say for the first time, I actually say "Thank You", instead of making up reasons that I am fat. I never have been able to accept a compliment, I always blew people off as being crazy. I have lost 42#. Should I feel this good? I figured that I would be "down & out" for a while. Just not happening! Congratulations to everyone who has had surgery & Good Luck to those who are interested in having it!

Hi Sheryn Congratulations on your loss ! Whoo hooo Ditto here for health improvements already. My pre op blood sugars were 250+ now my blood sugar runs 105-150 off of one med. I am taking about half the meds I was before and I am down 26.5 lbs since my pre op eval. Good luck to you for continued success. Isn't life grand! Michelle OKC
