Realization today

I was out working in my yard a few minutes ago, and it suddenly occurred to me what I was doing. I was actually out working in my yard after I had worked all day, harvested some stuff from the garden, cooked dinner, washed a load of clothes, played tennis and rode my bike. Three months ago completing one of these tasks would have me gasping for breath, and some of them would have likely resulted in a trip to the ER. 

Having this surgery is the best decision I could have made at this point in my life. After the removal of my lap band and my subsequent weight gain, I've watched life pass me by while sitting on my couch getting bigger and bigger. Even if I don't lose another ounce, my life has already been greatly enhanced by this surgery, and I'm so thankful for that opportunity.
