I'm 40!

I turned 40 on 4/29 and we went to Vegas for a little break. Had an awesome time, saw 2 shows, Penn & Teller and Cirque de Soliel "O" I had such great energy and even got up the first day and went to the gym and ran 2 miles (of course that only lasted on day 1, then it got a little hedenistic)

I am so happy to have hit the big 4-0 being as healthy and fit as I am. I have ltos of pictures up on FB of the trip for anyone who's interested. But here is my favorite side by side comparison to date.

 Pre-Op 8/08 ~ 269lbs                       The big 4-0 4/29 ~ 180lbs                            

Congrats on everything and hope you had a wonderful birthday!

CONGRATS! And Happy Birthday!!

Hey Melanie - you are one whole day older than me!  I had my surgery on 3/31/09 and did it as a 40th birthday gift for myself!  It is wonderful!  You are truly an inspiration - I love the side by side pics!  Thanks for posting them and Happy Birthday - This time of year rocks! :)
