Default Before and After Pics

A lot of you asked to see pictures. So here they are. The after pictures are about 2 months old, and I've lost another 10 or so pounds since then. I just haven't had time to take more. There is only one before picture. I use to hide when the camera was brought out. My dh never takes pictures anyway, sorry it isn't a standing up one.

Before.


After

Wow, you look so good - in both pics. Most people look much happier in their after pics then when you seen them in the before. You look so happy in both sets, it must be a testament to the type of person you are

You look amazing!!

Gosh, thanks everyone.

Dee, you know, I was pretty happy before I lost the weight. I had really come to the realization that I was just going to be overweight for the rest of my life. I had completely stopped trying, and decided to just accept myself for the way I was. When I had my surgery, I truly believed that I was going to be the only one who didn't have success from it. I'm so glad that it worked! I was happy then, but honestly I am happier now. I feel better than I have felt in years. I can get down and roll around on the floor with my kids. I feel like Cinderella at the ball.

TimmyShawn, I had RNY surgery a little over a year ago. A lot of people think that doing it this way is taking the easy way out. But, for me it was the only way out. Nothing was working for me. And, I have to say that this has definately not been easy. It's the hardest thing I've ever had to do. You physically CAN'T quit; you have no choice but to stay with it. You literally have to learn how to eat, when to eat, and you have to force yourself to drink enough. I'm not complaining at all. Having this surgery was the best decision that I have ever made for myself. But, in many ways this has been the hardest year of my entire life.
