5 1/2 Months Out And Doing Fabulous!

  • Popular Post

Well I am at 5 1/2 months out and doing great!! No problems so far, no vomiting so far!! scale is moving at the pace I wanted so as to not have too much loose skin! I have a little bit but I am old - lol - well not really old, just turned 51 Thursday!! Feeling so fabulous, almost like I am 35 again!! I would do this again and have no regrets other than of course I didn't do it 10 years ago!

My favorite part of my whole journey is that I have kicked all diabetes and blood pressure meds and no longer use a sleep apnea device!! My diabetes A1C has been 5.7% the last two checks!!

I am not a work out freak but I do exercise everyday by walking. Sometimes I am frolicking (lol) in the ocean or swimming in a pool or even roller skating!!

I thank God everyday for this procedure!!

I know I don't post much on here anymore, occasionally I stop in, but that doesn't mean I don't care, just busy with life! If you have questions feel free to personal message me and I will chat with you!

God bless you all and check out my before and after album in my profile under Gallery if you want!!

Congratulations to you! I'm just now 7 weeks out and hoping that eating keeps getting easier. Right now I dread it.
