4/25 Update

Well it has been about four months since my surgery now. I am feeling good physically. Mentally things have been hard though. It is hard to see all your clothes going away and now you have nothing you can wear. I also didn't realize before that that there might have been part of an emotional piece to why I gained the weight. I have had a lot of other emotional things going on these days so that makes it hard as well.

I still am very glad I had the surgery because things would be even tougher for me right now if I hadn't. Things are slow going, but I knew they would be at times. Being that I also have Bipolar and other disorders that effect your energy I knew my progress would likely be a little slower than others. I can't get out as much as I would like to or should, but hopefully that will soon change since my service dog is coming home in about 6 weeks. He will be part of what is going to help me get through these things that are slowing me up, and help me have the tools needed to keep going forward.

So the stats for right now are:

Weight is 255lbs.
Size is still about 22-24 for pants, and 20 for shirts.

I did have my labs all checked a couple weeks ago, and they are all normal. So things are still going well. What is the old saying? Slow and steady wins the race? Well that is about what I am going for these days.
