October 2021 to October 2023

Here I am at 240 and here I am at 175. What a difference. Now just to keep what I am doing. I did gain a few pounds since surgery, and I hope to keep shedding a few pounds. Wish me luck.

I Survived Surgery

Well, it has been an interesting start to the month. I've had my gallbladder removed on 08/15/2023 and I am out on short term disability while I take time to recover. Sitting at the computer is limited. If I sit too long, then my stomach starts to hurt. My gallbladder was my first ever sugary. I looked like I was stabbed four times. Well, technically I was.
