Congratulations on achieving such a great result! You look healthy and beautiful!
I often say that the biggest gift of my surgery is getting to be an athlete again. I can't run (back won't tolerate), but I cycle like crazy--I rode 200 miles last weekend. Whenever the topic comes around to obesity, as it does sometimes among the super athletic, I always identify myself as a member of the tribe. I am a respected cyclist among my peers, so I use that as a point of education. Usually "I am a strong person, and I couldn't lose the weight without surgery."
Congrats again, WTG!!!
