8 Month Update - What a Trip!
Well, it is now exactly 8 months since my Lap RNY in June and time for my monthly update. Things to be grateful for since WLS and losing 127 pounds:
· No longer having Type II diabetes
· No longer having weight-based asthma
· No longer having sleep apnea, and actually being able to sleep and wake rested
· Having energy to spare!
· Having my cholesterol drop over 100 points
· Being within spitting distance of breaking the 200-pound mark - somewhere I haven't been for over 25 years!
· The thrill of shopping for clothes, and being almost able to wear "normal" sizes.
· Being able to cross my legs under my desk
· Being able to fit in a coach airline seat with no seatbelt extension or having to raise the armrest.
· Being able to walk easily without concern
· Being able to speak without panting and breathing heavy (unless I want to)!
· Feeling both physically and emotionally stronger to better able me to care for my DH who's ill
· Wanting to "strut" at times
· Being able to pass on my too big clothes to worthy people and causes without worrying if I'll ever need them again
· Thankful for my local support group, and thankful for the AMOS friends I've made on this site.
Come on and finish my list - what do you have to be grateful for?
