100 reasons I love having Gastric Bypass

Here is my "exhaustive" list as to why I have loved having Gastric Bypass.

1. I FEEL SO AMAZING!!!!!! I still see the personal trainer and am loving every minute of it. This past Monday, I was able to jog on the treadmill for the first time is years! I felt so accomplished. I jogged for 10 of the 30 minutes I was on there. I am positive I will be a runner eventually. Marathon, here I come! I have wanted to run so badly for so long! I am on my way there, that is for sure!

2. Finally, I am able to use a normal sized towel. AND it is does not look like a hand towel wrapped around my body:) This towel actually fits! I am so so excited about this. I am actually covered....with a NORMAL towel. No more beach towels or supersized towels for me:)

I am so appreciative of everyone's support and even though I have encountered a few medical hiccups along the way, it is totally WORTH it!

Here are some before and after pictures I thought I would share with you. It if funny because I feel like I have not lost a ton of weight because I still have quite a bit to go, but after looking at these pictures, I am just shocked!
