I did it!
Thirty three weeks ago I had gastric bypass surgery. Inam thankful every day for my doctor and all his support staff. I started my journey at 258.5 pounds. I had uncontrolled blood pressure on three pills,blood sugars in the 180s and felt like I would die when I went down a flight of stairs. Day of surgery I weighed 253. Thirty three weeks later I am at my goal weight of 145, my blood sugar is normal and my blood pressure is great on one low dose pill. And best of all I can walk and walk and not get short of breath. Tomorrow I walk my second 5k and can't wait. I did this by following my doctor's plan, getting my protein in,exercising almost daily,and getting lots of fluids. I have changed my diet and eat no processed carbs and exercise an amount each day that I can maintain for life. I have done it and you can too--one choice at a time! Have a great weekend.
