One Year Anniversary
One year ago I was getting ready for surgery at this time. It has been the best thing I have ever done in my life(Other than DH & kids).
In one year I have had so many accomplishments and feel so much better. Diabetes gone no more medicine. CPAP gone. Hopefully after weight loss stops I can get rid of the cholesterol meds. 100 pounds lost. I feel better than I have in years. I have more energy to play with my granddaughters. I can go outside without feeling like I am dying from the heat.
Now I am getting the dreaded "you've lost enough" from almost everyone and I still have 20-25 to get to my personal goal and be a normal weight.
I really need to get back on the exercise wagon. I do have some skin issues, but they are covered with my clothes and I'll probably just live with it since I'm almost 56.
My one year surgeon's appointment in Thursday afternoon. I can't wait to see how my labs are - I'll post them after I get my copy.
Thanks to everyone here that has helped me over the last year!! I couldn't have done it without your help, ideas and advise.
I'm going to get DH to do pictures tonight and I'll post them later.
