WOW! How fantastic do you look and feel now?! What an incredible change. The DS is truly the best surgery ever. What other surgery could you eat scrambled eggs with chili pepper and bacon bits at 4 weeks out? :)

Awesome!

Did you keep any of your big clothes? You will have to do one of those goofy stand in one leg of your pants pictures one day!

Nah, I got rid of most of them. I do have one pair of jogging pants that I've held on to. I like them and hate to part with them!

Feeling gggggggggrrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaattttttttttttttttttttt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have so much energy that I can go all the time. Last night we worked the high school consession stand for our football home opener. Went 180 mph all night, non stop and it didn't even phase me. I love the DS! Besides accepting Christ as my savior, accepting the call to the ministry, and marrying my wife, it has been the best decision I have ever made!
