Thank you all for your kinds words about my first post. Originally, I wanted to write all of my story before getting to what is going on in my life now. But, I'm going to stray away from that with this post. A big part of my journey is learning to give myself credit for the good things that I do...large or small. So, today I'm giving myself credit for deciding to change my life. Because of that decision, I am now healthier than I have been in years. My official weight loss total since surgery is 101 pounds!!! If I had not made that decision to change my life, I would not be in the physical and mental condition that I am today. I had my six month post op appointment last Monday and this Tuesday I have a follow up appointment with my primary care physician (PCP). I'm hoping to hear more goods news about my recent round of lab tests. Until next time....
