ok evryone here's the latest! april 24th is my 1 year anniversary of my
gastric bypass surgery. tomorrow morning (tuesday the 22nd) very early in
the morning is my 1 year check up with the surgeon who preformed my bypass
surgery. things could not be much better for me. here's the specs at this
point.
was wearing tight size 58 pants now in 42's!
weight at highest 453lbs
weight before surgery 384lbs(just before surgery!)
present weight 258lbs!
total loss to date(combined pre op and post op) 195lbs lost so far and
counting!
no more medications with the exception of my asthma inhaler wich due to
alergies is stil needed but greatly reduced!
there is no reversing the damage to my knees from accidents and the weight i
carried. but my discomfort is greatly reduced and my mobility is beyond my
wildest dreams!
i drove my bugeye the other day and had to seriously make the lap belt
smaller by a significant amount! it was actually comfortable at my just shy
of 6'5" height in the stock seat!
i have a goal weight of 220lbs. if for any reason i never loose another
pound i can live with that! the good wishes and compliments i have recieved
are just so amazing. i still see myself as i looked over a year ago. the
changes are quite drastic, and incredible! it will take some time to
become acustomed to the "new me". just to not need any more diabetic
medications and no more blood pressure medication is reward enough for me!
it's difficult to find healthy food in a world of fried and greasey
"evrything" but i manage.
i thank all of you for your support in my efforts to regain controll of my
life and health.
ya know that means i get to torture y'all fer a tad longer than it was gonna
be with the "old me"! LOL! :)
