5 months post surgery

Sep 01, 2011

Well, I am over 5 months since surgery and am sure I could not be happier!  I am down 135 pounds and feel amazing.  I am wearing size 18 jeans and shopping in normal stores.  Every time I shop I am excited and surprised at how easy it is!  I bought clothes in a sporting good store!  Never even considered doing that before!  I am wearing size Large or XL shirts, buying the Larges as I am only shrinking more!!  I RAN A ROAD RACE!!  I was just a mile, but it was the first time in my life I ran a mile without stopping or walking!!  I loved it and want to train for a 5k.  I feel like a different person!  I went canoeing and thought I had died and gone to heaven!!! I was so in my element and can't wait to get back on the water.  I am planning some camping and hiking trips in the near future.  Returning to school after summer break was amazing...the reactions from the faculty were so cool!!  I get tons of compliments and enjoy each one, there was a time when I could not take a compliment.  I am totally a new person
