Thanks for you wonderful post. When I read your posts, I realize
more than ever that although my diabetes has stablized, my blood pressure
has normalized and I haven’t used my asthma pump in six months, I will
never be CURED. I realize each day how lucky I am to have gotten a second
chance.
When I was first thinking about surgery I thought it would
“fix” my weight problem. I never understood the people who said it was a
“tool” I understand now more than ever. Being a year out and tolerating
larger portions has made me afraid of going back to the “old me”. I go out
of my way to add a litle extra excerise each day, to try and keep up with my
higher calorie intake. Although I would be happy with my weight loss, I
would like to lose about 25 more pounds, to get to a nice round number of
200 !!! Getting there is not as important as staying here now though.
Now I will go mow the lawn, yeech
