Congrats! I'm posting my good news today, too!

congrads you are doing great,,,keep up all the wonderful hard work,, sandy

27. To ride double on 4wheeler and not have the tires squat. 28. To fit three people in the cab of a pickup truck with me in the middle. 29. To bend over at the waist and pick something off of the floor without having to bend at the knees because my tummy is in the way. 30. Finally to be able to wear my teenage daughters jeans, not that I would, but its a great feeling to put them on and just look at the luggage in the trunk. 31. See #30, is that really my butt? No couldn't be. What are your 101 reasons???

I didn't realize how bad I actually felt until I think of how I feel now and then back to how I felt pre-op. I would do this again in a heartbeat, no worries, no 2nd thoughts, none of it. It's been absolutely the most amazing journey so far. I can't wait for spring either--hoping to be at goal!
