Four months out now, lost 41 lbs since I started my journey and 39.7 since surgery.

I had a slow start after surgery.  No complications with surgery, just didn't feel good for about 6 - 7 weeks.  After I started forcing my protein and fluids, I perked up.  So glad I found this support.  I am now well and feeling good.  Although I am loosing slower that I expected, I am losing. I have to keep reminding myself of that.

I"m happy and blessed and about to turn 70  years old.  I had hesitated having the surgery at 69.  But I was encouraged buy some good friends.  I am so glad I did it.  I would have turned 70 anyway and still as sick as ever.  Now, my medication has been reduced, off 2 of three diabetic meds and down 1 heart/ high blood pressure med. I seem to have stabilized on that, but I am still hopeful  I will get off all diabetic meds.

The hardest struggle I still have is exercise.  I am more active, but I need to exercise more.  Keep me in your prayers and I'll keep you all in mine.
