While on vacation in Peru, I hit the halfway point in my WLS journey. 80 pounds lost, 80 pounds to go. I celebrated at the top of Machu Picchu, which involved 16,000 steps and 208 flights of stairs (presumably 104 up and 104 down). This was something I could never ever in a million years done before surgery gave me back my life. I am just 3.5 months post-RNY and have never been so thankful for anything in my life.
