4 year surgiversary
Its been 4 years to the day since my lap DS. I can only say I am still blessed and grateful! I lost 125lbs and I feel great. I take my vitamins religiously, see Dr. Smith yearly, and live a very normal life. I have no more high blood sugar and my cholesterol levels are the envy of my friends and family! I can eat just about whatever I want but find that I crave protein naturally- I just feel better after a high protein meal vs. a high carb one. I am lactose intolerant (but so is my naturally skinny sis so it may be genetic!) but manage to eat cheese and or small amounts of cream/milk with the help of lactaid. I stay within a 3 pound range.... if I binge on a vacation it just takes a week or so of eating a very high protein diet for me to rocket back to my normal range. I have yet to get a much needed tummy tuck but am getting close to being willing to take this final step in regaining my pre- weight gain shape. I love being healthy, having more energy, keeping up with my kids and husband, fitting into clothes and most importantly not feeling invisible when I go out socially. Getting a DS was the first step in a lifetime committment to a healthy me! Yes, I am blessed and very, very grateful!
