Back to blogging

I am hoping that blogging is going to help me get through my frustrations, so I am back again. I had gastric banding surgery on 1/27/09 and am working through a great deal of frustration with the slowness of this whole process. Yes, I know if I had the by-pass, it would have been quicker weight loss but by-pass also has a potential for more complications. Don't get me wrong. I am glad I had it done. I have lost 17lbs and 5 inches in my waist. I am totally off of one diabetes medication (the one I was taking the highest dose of) and my blood pressure meds have been cut in half. I just want to see the work on the scale.

DON'T GIVE UP! YOU ARE DOING GREAT!!! OFF ONE MED AND ANOTHER CUT IN HALF IS GREAT PROGRESS. FORGET THE SCALE (THEY LIE) CONCENTRATE ON HOW MANY POSITIVE IMPROVMENTS YOU HAVE MADE TO YOUR LIFE. I'M SURE YOU HAVE MORE ENERGY AND CAN MOVE AROUND EASIER. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK AND DON'T LOOK TO FAR AHEAD TAKE IT HOUR BY HOUR IF YOU HAVE TO. GOOD LUCK I'M PRAYING FOR YOUR SUCCESS.
