Well, it must be that time of year. In perusing my old blog posts, I see that the last time I seriously thought about losing weight was on September 13th of last year. Well, I have lost some weight but it sure wasn't the dieting way.
Since then, doctors found a tumor on my pancreas, a mass on my liver of unknown origin and many kidney stones. After an incredibly invasive surgery in December, I now how have less intestine, stomach and pancreas and lost about 22 pounds just in the first two months of recovery.
Since then, as previous posts attest, I have been extremely busy with my music and then, of course, the summer season at the park. The long hours this summer were difficult and my days off were spent trying to recover. I still have days of serious pain but they are fewer and further between with every passing week.
My digestion is still a matter of concern for me. I have long periods of "irregularity" followed by a day of not being able to stop. And with the loss of part of my pancreas, I am now experiencing blood sugar problems - not often, but enough. The worst part is the need to sleep off the aftermath. It's a great thing that I have such an understanding boss!
Anyway, since the initial loss of 22 pounds in December, I have regained about seven of those pounds to land firmly on 222. It's time to give up the excuses and get busy on getting this weight off!
