Fabulous at fifty!



Recommended Posts

I can't believe that a few years ago I couldn't see a future. I was very ill, hypertension,per-diabetic,bone issues and my back was hurting constantly. There was days when I couldn't get out of bed, my friends and family would visit me at my bedside. I would get pajamas for presents. I got fitted for orthopedic shoes and had braces on my legs and at one point I had to have cast on both legs. Things didn't look good cause after all this I was diagnosed with COPD, a chronic lung disease. I was in and out of hospitals on a monthly basis, then it happened, most of my illness was weight related at a weight of 283, I knew something had to happen. I got approved for WLS, the lap band,in Nov 2012, my life changed. I am 58 to 60 pounds down, I am exercising 4 to 5 times a week, I am 6 sizes down. I can walk, ride a bike, and play with my grandchild on the floor! I even do yoga! I am couple of years away for 50 and I feel great! I will be fabulous at fifty!!!!!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
