Work I couldn't do before WLS!




I finished assembling the Helix last night. We had a few warm days, so my fingers would work. I didn't clean the bike, I just put on some new panels.
  • The wheel covers
  • The side farings
  • The windshield cover strip.
They are all now chrome! Or at least chrome colored plastic.
The old pieces were getting brittle and the bike needed a bit of bling.
Now, excuse me, I'm gonna go take a ride before the cold weather comes back.

Blood test result for 18 months

My Body Mass Index is 32.66!
I am officially 208 pounds, from a starting weight of 305.
I gained a pound or two from the previous weigh in 6 months ago.
All of my blood test results were good, with a very few exceptions that aren't of any serious consequence.
I got a gold star from my Dietitian for following my diet, and taking my vitamins.
I am proud of her for helping me to stay on track.
I won't go into more detail than that. I have the results from the 13 tubes of blood written down, so if you're interested in anything specific, let me know and I'll send you that info.
I'm told that my next year will be the killer. Gee, I thought every 6 months was a killer!
They tell me now that my intestine is adjusting to my new stomach and will learn to adapt, causing me to gain a few pounds because the whole system is becoming more efficient. So, I have to watch out for that and not get discouraged, and not let it win.
I can do that.....
