1 year post-op pics

Excuse the dreaded serious face which is required for passport pics... but looking beyond that, these 2 pics show my 1 year post-op accomplishment.

I still can't believe it most of the time... but more amazing.. I am only 14 lbs to goal.

I love my DS!!

You have no idea how much more bearable it is. Actually, I find myself freezing in AC'd rooms and quite enjoy walking out into the 50 degree Celcius weather to warm up. I also noticed that I no longer leave puddles of sweat wherever I am exercising...lol

As for the dreaded face.. I meant the dreaded way we look for serious passport pictures or driver's license. We never look happy or good...lol
