Surgery update

Life is definitely more comfortable as a size 12.The last time I was this size I lived in Altus, OK.   I've learned some things with all this weight loss.  The world is very weight bias.  I am treated very differently.  As much as I hate to say it but, even my husband treats me differently.  I'm know he doesn't mean to and that he loves me reguardless of how I look.  In fact I can totally understand it.  I love my husband and find him Hot reguardless of how he looks.  But if all of a sudden  he had the same body he did when we were married.  Boy Yah!  New Toy! So I totally get it.  At the same time I don't understand why other people treat me different.  I am the same person I was in August before my surgery.

I also don't understand why some people feel so passionate about MY surgery.  I have received what felt like lectures from some people about how I didn't need the surgery.  It's cheating, when am I having it removed.  I better have it removed soon or I'll lose to much weight.  I've even been called Fat in the last 2 days.

No, I didn't have to look into the surgery to begin with.  However I was frustrated with my weight and not being able to control it, so yes I wanted to cheat.  So as I looked into it I realized it could get rid of my diabetes.  Considering the very advanced problems I was getting because of my diabetes I was thrilled with this idea.  So I preceded with the quest for the surgery.  I had to jump through countless hoops and endless appointments, classes and weight loss trackers. And my BMI was high enough that I could even try to accomplish all that had to be done before hand.

Anyway, I'm getting side tracked as always.  Anyway, I may have thought of this procedure as cheating at one point but, it sure doesn't feel like cheating.  IF I were to cheat my way to something, I think I would leave out all the uncomfortable parts and throwing up.  Yes if I eat to much my body rejects it. I still haven't learned very well what that point is.  And I would have made it so that my favorite foods would not be something that my body now seems to detest.

Now onto the having it removed.  LOL!  I can't have it removed.  It's not something that was added to my body.  And it can't be undone.  IF your gonna lecture me at least be informed.  The picture on the side is what I had done.  My body will eventually adjust to my changed Metabolism.  And I'm told I will gain back at least 10 lbs when it does.  Meanwhile, I am still "overweight".  I would like to get to the low end of my healthy weight.  Anyway, I chose the procedure I did because it has the highest rate of Diabetic reversal and it is the hardest to cheat in what you eat when you do this procedure.

My last lab work tells me that I do not have diabetes.  I'm not even pre-diabetic.  Not only that but the problems and lack of feeling in my legs seems to have reversed. Now as long as my liver is getting better I will have expanded my life span.  In case you forgot.  At the time of my surgery the doctor said that my liver was the 3rd worse he's ever seen and that it would not have had more than 5 years left with it.  However he also said this surgery and the lifestyle changes that comes with it should help my liver to regenerate and become healthy.  All I know is I love the way I feel and I love the way I look.
