Well - this week I will be 3 months post op and going on vacation so I took pics today.




Pics on left are pre op May 2 - pics on right are almost 3 mths post op July 29th - 60 lbs down.

I met someone today who had WLS a while ago.  I actually have known her for a while, only just found out she had the surgery.  It was a professional environment so I did not have the opportunity to talk to her about her journey.

We had to order in lunch and dinner.  I was shocked at what she ordered and how much she ate.  I realize that I am pre-op and don't know alot about life after the surgery, but her food choices and consumption was certainly not what I expected.  In all honesty, she did ask for take out containers both times, but at lunch she ended up picking away at her burger until it was completely gone, along with her fries.

After surgery, long term, I am expecting to eat MUCH smaller portions and probably not very many french fries.  If I have made this committment and changed so much - why would I go back to my bad eating habits again?

I am sticking my nose where it doesn't belong and maybe I am being too hard on her - I am sure she knows what she can and can't do.  It just really struck me and kept me wondering all day.......
