3 months

Today marks 3 months since surgery. All lingering risks of a blood clot have passed. My stomach is fully healed. I'm here. We're vacationing at the coast sans kids so I can't weigh in today, but yesterday I was 215. So that means I lost 16 pounds this month. Not bad! Last month it was 15, and the first month after surgery it was 21. So a total of 52 since surgery. I went for a run on the beach today, which was awesome. My follow-up with the surgeon is coming up on Tuesday when we will review my blood work. I'm so sooo glad to be here. I think this surgery was one of the best decisions I've ever made.
