Hump Day Java !!!

My surgery was the best thing I ever did for myself. I had RNY surgery on March 25 2008 when I weighed 460 lbs and could not climb a set of stairs or walk a city block. My knees and feet hurt all the time from the weight and my kneesurgeon told me that I need knee replacements but I am too young and at my weight he wouldn't do it. In fact he said why bother the way you are going you will be needing both legs amputated within 5 years. That was a wake-up call. I have since lost 180lbs and walk 5 miles a day Monday through Friday. I went from a size 66 pants to a size 40-42. The things I can do today that I could only dream of before are too numerous to go into. But I am looking forward to taking my 21 year old son with me white water rafting next summer.
