I had my WLS !!! I can't believe it's been 10 months already.
I had forgot about this special day this morning, until I was out on my run. What makes it so special is.....

I can now run 10km in 1 hour 2 minutes and feel great doing it.
I can control what I eat and still have the odd treat. Making healthy choices is becoming a habit.
I now weight 145 lbs, 5 pounds below goal. I have 4 pounds to lose, to make it 100 total loss but don't really care if that happens.
My blood pressure is 110/80 and my pulse is 56
I went from a size 20 to a size 6. I have no boobs left but we will deal with that next year!! I'm very lucky that I have very little skin to deal with.
I go to the gym faithfully 2x week and run 3x a week.
I ENJOY EXERCISE!!!!
I can shop where ever I want and enjoy doing it.
I smile all the time and still get embarrassed when I receive a complement .
My hair is growing back and not falling out.
I can have a glass of wine and be satisfied

I'm thankful for all the support from this website
