I made it! I am officially one year post op today! 

I am down about 125 lbs, from 323 to 198 currently. It feels AWESOME. I am also about 6'1, so I look a bit smaller than I thought I would at this weight. I am wearing size L tops and size 30 jeans (as in, designer jeans that are sized by the waist!) 

I can't thank everyone here enough for all the support. I don't come by as much as I would like but I appreciate everyone so much. Especially at first, this place was my go to for advice almost every day.

Now for the highlights (in photos!) 

Here is me the day before my surgery (Feb 8 2011) 


Here I am in my hospital bed waiting!! SO excited!



Here is the highlight of my last year! Marrying the LOVE of my life



And this is me a few weeks ago: 



Thank you again to everyone that offered advice and support to me. I appreciate it more than you know!

OMG, you are absolutely beautiful!  That wedding picture is stunning.  It's hard to believe you're the same person.  This gives me so much encouragement for my outcome.  I was 1 month out yesterday and already down 24 pounds.  It's amazing.  Best wishes to you and your sweetie.  YOU LOOK GREAT

You look amazing!  I want to ask you about your legs... if you don;t mind- Mine look similar to yours pre-surgery.. how did the cellulite respond when you lost the weight? do you still have cellulite or does it go away?

You look fantastic!  Your pre-surgery body looks almost exactly like mine, like if I were to crop your head off my hubby would think it was me!  :)

So, I'm hopeful I get to look as amazing as you do one day.

Great work and thanks for sharing!  :)
