Rebirth

Today is my birthday. I'm 65. It's hard for me to believe that because I don't feel it.

I also feel as though I've had a rebirth. This surgery is giving me a new lease on life because I'm finally on my last diet ever. I'm going to diet to lose the weight and then just eat healthily after that. The sleeve will allow me to do that because if the restriction. That is what I've needed all of my life.

I see some people here who have been discouraged by spouses, family etc. because they are 'too old'. Don't ever let anyone tell you that you are 'too old' for ANYTHING in life. I have plans for at least twenty-five more years and I'm going to leave it dancing.

I just got home. My daughter took me out to celebrate (hubby is working out of state). We saw Terry Fator. He'd won America's got Talent, but I never saw him on the show. It was one of the better shows I've seen. We laughed for an hour and a half. I posted a photo of me as we were getting ready to leave.

Belated Happy Birthday! I'm with you! I'll be 61 on the 30th and had my sleeve on 3/26. Sometimes I can't believe this is me. I want to go hiking. I didn't even want to walk 2 years ago! I thank God that I was able to get the sleeve. AND you are doing great!
