I have to admit I am struggling with getting my food in. I still have no appetite. I was also told that I was lactose intolerant which is what I kinda thought. Protein shakes have been making me sick as of late.

Now for my WOW. They sat me down and said do you have any idea how many lives you have made an impact on. I had no idea. Since the series aired they have had more people come in that never thought they could do this. It seems I have inspired some to make to take the next step. They have also had people call who were not interested in the surgery but wanted to know how I was doing. I can't explain the feeling that came over me. I teared up and felt like wow I made a difference in someones life. It can't get any better than that.
wow that's so fantastic!!! I'm happy for you and your achievement and also very proud that you're going to help change so many lives for the better xx
