Here are some comparison shots and random pictures for you guys to see. Hopefully this provides motivation for some of the new post ops. On my hard days I would look at pictures like these and remember why I did what I did. Keep going! Keep fighting! The end is worth it!

WOW - you look fantastic. Congratulations! I think that this is great advice - when we get down or wonder if it was worth it - just go back and look at how far we've come and this will help keep us on track.

Congratulations! I am 7 weeks out and this is super inspiring! You look fantastic! Do you mind if I ask if you had any skin removal surgery? I am nervous about having tons of loose skin but bottom line, I want to be healthier.

You look amazing! Congrats!

I haven't yet and wouldn't consider it until i reach 180 pounds. I think I would be denied skin remov because I still have fat to lose. Stomach, thighs, arms. Argh.

you look fantastic! I would have thought you already had it done! That makes me feel really relieved, for some reason I pictured myself just having skin hanging off of me. I know everyone is different but you are someone who I would LOVE to follow in their foot steps. You look so healthy and vibrant. Very inspirational!
