19 Weeks Post Op
Last Friday the 21st was my 19th week post op. Was just too busy to wiegh in. All in all, I had a very good week. Down 4 pounds.
It was great to take a break from packing and fixing the house. The craft fair was lots o fun. With planning I was able to stop myself from indulging at all the food booths. I was just so overwhelmed with the compliments that I had more of a motivation to stick to my weight loss goals.
I did go to another funeral yesterday for a 28 year old young man. Lately there's been quite a few funerals, don't know why I have been faced with all this sadness though at each one it has been a celebration of life. I find myself looking at how precious life is. I have been reminded that each day I have on this earth is special. God must have a reason. I just keep thinking that it could have been me. I am just so thankful I have this second chance at life.
I have been doing my protein shakes twice a day, taking my vitamins and sipping water as I should. Every morning I go walking and today I went the pool and walked in the pool. Just so happy that it is warm enough to go in. I marvel over the fact that walking is not a problem any more and I still get delighted and amazed when I put on my jogging shoes by myself. It is nice to be more independent and not having to have my husband take care of simple tasks for me.

Meliss - I love to read how well you are doing and so happy you took charge of your second chance at life. My life would not be as rich if I didn't know you.
