UPDATE

Just wanted to let you all know that on January 18 I weighed 342 pounds and had surgery February 14. Today(4/7/06) I weighed 294 and for the first time I was able to walk 1.4 miles round trip without stopping this evening. It felt great to be able to walk and not lose my breathe or have chest pains. Thanks very much for all the support OH brothers and sisters. Heather

That is super GREAT. Congradulation!!!! I know how you are feeling. I hope you keep walking it feels great to see the distance add up. I went from needing an electric wheelchair to get around the grocery store to walking a 5k (3.1 miles) I am training for a 10k, all in under 6 months. Congrats again!! Deb 392/275/180

Hi Heather, Wow you are doing great. Congratulations on your weight loss. Take care, Diana 379/176/?

Hey Heather, Man that is awesome news. I know you have to feel better. Thats like me. I was 397 when I started out and am now down to 315 today. I had gotten to where I couldnt even hardly walk or do much else either. So life if so great since WLS. Been ups and downs from normal things but great!! Hang in there and keep up the great work... Hugs Marge
