Two months and 35 lbs.

If someone had promised me that two months post-op I would be down 35 lbs., completely off diabetes meds, with fasting glucose levels in the 80's, a lower b/p and almost no joint pain...I would have called them a liar and an exaggerator.  But that's the reality, folks - isn't this sleeve thing amazing?!?

I wish I'd been smart like those of you who took "before" pics so I could compare them to "after" pics, but I didn't do that.  I've pretty much avoided any camera - or mirror - for the last few years.  But I'll try and dig up something because it would be good for me to be able to visualize the difference. 

My hubby was watching that "Extreme Weight Loss" show the other night and the trainer said something that really stuck with me:  "Falling down doesn't have to mean failing...".   I'm going to remember that during the tough times!  I may fall down on this journey but I can get right back up and keep moving toward the goal. 

Yeah!  Great post.  Congratulations on the weight loss.

Thank you! 

Thanks for the encouragement :-)
