5 1/2 months ago.

5 months ago I never would have been able to run through a blow up obstacle course and slide down a inflatable slide. I definitely wouldn't of been able to do it over and over. I was able to have fun at a little kiddos Birthday party!  If it hadn't of been so damn cold I would of continued to do it but I couldn't feel my feet!

This surgery has changed my life.  I can finally do things I've always wanted to do but didn't have the energy to do it.

I feel young, energetic, and healthy. It's all long overdue.
This morning I weighed 161.4 and I have lost 77.2 pounds! I am not losing nearly as quickly anymore but I know inches are falling off.  Since I've started the Carafate I am able to eat much easier.  I am working on trying to eat every 2 hours. That doesn't happen everyday but the more I eat the easier the weight comes off.  Honestly though it's HARD to eat often!  I have noticed that I can eat more at a sitting than I used to be able to. It's all baby steps!
