11 weeks out

Things are going fantastic. I feel better than I have in many years. I'm down 42 lbs. I have 2 times as much enegery as I had before. I can't wait to see how much more energy I get after dropping another 40 lbs or so.

 

I had a great NSV this weekend. I hiked to the top of Helen Hunt Falls. :sneaky2: I cried when I got back down to the bottom. It was such an emotional moment for me. It took me an hour, but I did it!!! I had attempted it 4 other times (once when I was 20 lbs lighter) and failed. It was hard and every muscle in body hurts today. I could hardly get out of bed this morning. lol

 

Anyone out there wondering if this surgery works...it does. I'm a testimony to it.

    Rob, I've mentioned it to you privately before, but it is difficult or differnt the first 4 weeks or so. It's like learning to eat all over again. BUT, it is the best thing I've ever done for myself. So don't be surprised to feek overwhelmed in the beginning. But once you get a little further out, it will be second nature and you will be so happy. Looking forward to meeting up with you.
