Moving on

I am still a Bariatric patient. I will be that for life.
I can change that if I want. But, I will never change it because I am too physically happy now.
I am moving forward, and moving on.
My blog may just stay the way it is, but I also may just start another blog that I can post non specific subjects.
There are people who read this blog and I hope I can help them make it through their WLS.
I am dealing with grief now, and may come back to this, but I think it's over.
So many things I have been living with are now over.
My eating habits have changed.
Many of the things I used to shy away from, I now seek.
Many of the things I enjoyed, I now stay away from.
I have cut up, shredded, thrown away, stored, sold things that have been here forever. Things that I didn't expect to part with, I have.
Donna's comment on my last post was right on target.
Thanks, Donna.

evolution

At this point in my blog, I have come to realize that my life is no longer all about food.
It's no longer about bariatrics, or weight loss surgery. It's no longer about any of that.
But, it is all about life again because of the things listed above.
I lost weight because of the surgery, the bariatric team, and my commitment to losing the weight and keeping it off.
Now, my life is about my health, and happiness.
It's about what I am going to do from here on out to the end.
What a change in my way of thinking.

In order for anyone reading this to find out more about WLS, etc. from this blog, you will have to go back in the archives and read from the beginning about my journey.
I have taken this blog as far as I want. From here on out, bariatrics is no longer the whole story.
I need to start another blog that will allow me to branch out and say what I think about other things.
I started this blog to help myself and others to understand a little of what I went through.
Now, I am ready to move on.
I won't ever forget that I have a stomach the size of a Jalapeno pepper.
I won't ever forget that I can screw up and ruin it all.
But, I don't need to write about it anymore.
I'll let others talk about bariatrics.
I'm evolving.
