6 Month Gastric Update!

Well, it's been six months since the gastric bypass surgery, and I think, more than ever, that it's the best decision I've EVER made. I feel so much better now and I'm mad at myself for not doing this years ago. So many things have changed and can't believe what a difference there is in life now versus six months ago.

Some stats:

• I've lost 135 pounds so far.
• I have 65-70 pounds left to lose.
• I've lost 14 inches in my waist.
• I've gone from a 4X/5X shirt to a 1X/2X.
• You can see my eyes when I smile.
  
• I'm no longer Morbidly Obese.
  
• The High Blood Pressure is gone.
• The Diabetes is gone.
• I can wear regular clothes from regular stores. (For instance, I bought a pair of jeans at Wal-Mart for $8. The same pair at the Big and Tall store would be $65.)
• I can stay on the Elliptical Machine for 45 minutes. (I could go an hour if my foot didn't fall asleep.)
  
• I fit in the seats at Movie Theaters and Auditoriums.
• I'm no longer the biggest person in the room.
• It's becoming apparent that I'll eventually need plastic surgery if I'm ever going to be a Chippendale's dancer. As it stands right now, I could be a Chippendale's Jiggler.
  
• I feel normal, and I haven't felt like that in a long, long time.
