2 months and 5 days

May 21, 2010

Wow ... time has flown and so has my excess weight!  I am down to 239.5 from a beginning weight of 300 lbs! 

I spent yesterday going though my "get rid of pile" of clothes.  I have been adding to this pile for the last year but have failed to take them down to the 2nd hand store.  Guess that will have to wait for a while ... most of those clothes fit again!!!!  I can't believe it - I even tried on an old pair of white short ... the tag says "38" (what ever that translates to now) and the FIT!!  I am happy that I now have some clothes that will be a little more form fitting - I swim in my old clothes! 

I have a lot more energy that I had prior to surgery. In fact, this morning I got up and weed wacked the backyard and around the pool and then mowed the backyard.  Not a small feat ... but I did it - alone!  It feels good to do things for myself, granted it was hot and I was tired when I finished, but it was a good tired!

Good new ... my PCP is weaning me off my blood pressure medication!  Tomorrow the 20th is my last pill.  I feel great ... now if I could only get rid of the other meds ... one step at a time :)

Never let anyone tell you bariatric surgery is easy ... it is a life changing decision.  One I will never regret for it has given me the ability to get my life back.
