Can't believe it's been almost 4 weeks (23 days) since my sleeve surgery. Went to heart doctor Tuesday and things are looking good weighted in at 305 and blood pressure was 130/82 such big improvements since my last appointment. (clearance for surgery weight 337 and BP 158/96) Today 302 (35lbs gone) and BP 129/76 Yeah!

I still am off all my medications, tried to take BP pills and Plavix but they dropped my blood pressure way to low, so, doctor said just keep eye on it and if it starts going back up again restart my pills and come see him. (so happy) I hate pills.

My husband and I have been cleaning the garage out so that he can put my "OLD" weight equipment up and hang the punching bag, am looking forward to exercising haven't been able to for over 10 years now and am so thrilled. I am moving on from just walking the block, maybe hubby will work out with me (I hope) again. Never thought I would use the "OLD" equipment ever again glad I didn't get rid of it.

My moods have changed for the better since surgery and I have found my voice again no more sitting on the side lines and taking everyone's crap. I can do THIS and NO ONE is going to tell me anything different.

I had no choice in having the surgery if I wanted to live, it was surgery or death and I chose surgery and life.

I have no regrets and am looking forward to a happier, healthier life ahead.

Bad mojo out and good mojo in.

Step by Step Day by Day with Jesus is all I pray for.
