First beer! Only 3+/- TBS but it was SO good!

We went to our favorite German bar/restaurant on Sat. night and I enjoyed every moment. I had most of a brat (no bun), a bit of Ayinger beer and POLKA POLKA POLKA! I'm feeling like I'll be able to live a 'normal' life with this new stomach of mine.

Tomorrow I'll be 6 weeks post-op and I've lost 26 lbs from day of surgery, 45 since heaviest. The weight loss is slowing down, but I'm OK with that. I'm walking 2 miles in 40 min now. I'm thinking I need to start some core work because my lower back is killing me every night and I still can't take Allieve! Grrrr!

The dry skin on my face seems to be subsiding since I really focused on getting the 64 oz of water in every day - who knew dehydration would effect your skin so drastically!

Off to the pool with the 'baby' - yes, he's 8 years old, but he'll always be my BABY.

I have no idea why the picture is sideways - and I can't seem to fix it. Sorry.
