Your post and update is truly inspiring!!!  I know your head says to ignore that crazeee Aunt and snide comments, but I also know it hurts inside when someone mades  comments like that.

You look AWESOME and I can tell you are strong and beautiful person.  Keep up your vitamin and protein diligence and tickle those little sisters!! hehe.  I have 3 sisters myself.

Hugs,

 Thanks Ratkity! I actually have 9 sisters, but my dad adopted 3 with his first wife, and then they had my older sister. They spilt up and my dad met my mom and I was born and then my half older sister's mother had twins with her new husband, then my mom and dad split and my mom married my step dad and had my 3 younger sisters  I know. lol! So here at home I am the oldest, but when visitng my older sisters I am the youngest. lol. I have no brothers .

Thanks again.

Sweet Jessy!!!

HUGE!!! HUGE!!! DIFFERENCE!!!!

You look wonderful!!! I am so proud of you!!!

Congratulations on your wonderful success.

 Thanks Elizabeth! 

 Jessy!
I can see a dramatic difference!  

I don't know why some people treat loved ones so horribly.  Anything said by your aunt is only to hurt you.  I don't know why she tries to hurt you, maybe because she is so fearful of her own weight situation.  Try to pity her and you will be able to ignore her remarks.

You look great and your progress in your life, as well as with your weight, is inspiring. 

Thank you . The thing with my aunt is she is very very very skinny. When she first ever told us of her 'diet' we were surprised because she was already so skinny. And now she looks almost sickly. She said that her doctor said that she could lose 30 more pounds when she first started, me and my mom were shocked she did not look like she even had 30 pounds to lose! She has never been big, she has always been normal and a little underweight. So we don't know why she's even dieting in the first place.......

Thanks again.

Jessy, you are doing so well!  Don't you just love finding your waist?  You are transforming right before your mom's eyes, so it;s harder for her to see, but we can see it, and you look amazing!

BTW, my kids didn't notice I'd lost weight - they kept telling me "Mom, you're duodenal switch isn't working", lol!!  This is even when I was really close to goal.  Finally I showed them a "before" pic, and they didn't even recognize me! 

Jessy, you are abo****ely amazing! How could they even question whether you've lost weight?! The difference is incredible. You look sooo good! Your aunt just sounds mean to me (sorry, I'm sure she has redeeming qualities in other areas). I am so impressed with how you handled the nutritionist too.  You are a DS-superstar! You're such an inspiration to me, thank you for sharing!

Looking good there Jessy!  The dress you are wearing in your current photo is very flattering on you, and look at that waist! 

I'm sorry your having issues with family and support.  I hope they see the light and turn around thier attitudes.  No one should treat you that way, let alone family.  *hugs*

Looking forward to hearing you hit the century club!  Keep us posted on that, and on the pain your having around the incision.  Do you think it could be a hernia?

ETA:  Congrats on your grades, that is impressive!  Way to go, you!
