    Default My life is already so different!!!!

    I have lost 50lbs. It was a beautiful warm day where I live so I was just messing around in my yard today. I was bending, stooping, reaching, and pulling to see what was coming up in my landscapes. After an hour or so it hit me. Wow, I can bend, stoop, reach and pull and I am not dying. Before my sleeve I couldn't even tie my shoes. I can breath better, like when I go upstairs. My life is already so different and it has only been three months. Life is good, this journey is good. Hang in there everybody!!!
