I won tickets in a drawing to a water park. We went this past Saturday and I actually walked around in my bathing suit!! I would have never done that pre-surgery! I am not at goal yet but I am feeling better about how I look. And I was able to walk the whole park with my family and I wasn't winded and tired.

I am 5 months out now and down 80 pounds! :)

That is so fantastic. What a feeling of freedom to be able to enjoy life and not be self conscious! I know exactly how you feel and love it.

Way to go.
One of my goals was to go to Great America. Last summer I spent 4 days there. This year I have a season pass. I LOVE to hang out in their waterpark.
So happy you had a great time.
Isn't it GREAT! to enjoy life again?
