Today is my One Year Surgiversary!!


Highest Wt 341
Surgerary Wt 325
Today's Wt 234
Goal Wt 195

One year ago, before surgery, I couldn't go up a flight of stairs without getting winded, now I can run up stairs and not get winded.
I had Type 2 Diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, sleep apnea, now I don't have any of these.
I was living a sedentary lifestyle, now I have retiled the house, ride a bike to and from work (8.6 miles) and last Sunday (18th) ran my first organized run in 21 years, a 6K that I finished in 52 minutes and felt great afterwards, tired but great.

Life is good now, my relationship with my wife has improved immensley, we celebrate our 25th this June, I am doing more things with my children and grandchildren. 

I've heard this said before but I only wish I would have done this sooner.

Seems like just last week you were going in for surgery and having second thoughts.  You have had a whirlwind of a year, congratulations for getting through it you skinny devil you.
