BrAdY's DoWn 50LbS

It's been 4 weeks since Brady's surgery, He has lost 54 lbs as of this morning and looking pretty good. It is amazing to me how much this surgery is going to help him. He has down sized to a whole new wardrobe. I spent the last couple of days going through all of his cloths replacing them with hand me downs from when his dad had his surgery. Thanks to Jack I don't have to go out and buy a whole bunch of new cloths for Brady to only beable to wear for a couple of months. Brady has been getting along pretty well beaing able to eat and all. I think that the biggest trial he has is just being so tired all of the time. He like to try and fit a nap in almost everyday...ha like that will ever happen with these kids around.

It will be a week tomorrow since Brady's surgery. He's doing really well. He's able to eat his whole two ounces of food and hasn't had many problems. He refuses to take any pain medication because he doesn't like the way it makes him feel and every now and then the dog or one of the kids will jump on him when he's least expecting it, other than that he is well. I just wanted to thank you for all of your support it really does mean a lot :)

This is Brady, Age 28 weighing 385 lbs. He was diagnosed as a diabetic Nov 2008. That's when he made a decision that would change his life forever.

Nov 2009 Brady had a gastric-bypass this morning. He is doing alright considering the fact that he just had surgery. I asked him how he felt he said "ok, it just feels like I just got ran over by a Mac Truck" Well if that is what OK feels like I don't know what terrible feels like. He is expected to come home from the hospital tomorrow and he is requied "by the boss" to take a week off and stay home to recover. I hope in a year when I post his after picture you won't even beable to recognize him. As my mother-in-law says...I look over at my husband (Jack, Brady's dad who also had gastric-bypass just over 1 yr ago) and I think "who is that man in my bed?"
