Anne you looked marvelous in you last photo I can't wait to see you in your current photo. I cannot seem to get motivated to exercise either this has been a big problem for me. What did you eat? Are you eating normal now? I am about 10 lbs less then you were at 9 weeks out. I love your post but we don't hear from you too often. I will diffently keep up with you. You really do look good.

WHOO HOOO!!!!! :P Today is my rebirthday!! Thanks Kyla for that sweet post, I really really appreciated it!! <p> Here are my stats in case any of you were curious, especially those of you who are about to go to the other side shortly!! <p> Was:250Lbs Now:125Lbs Down:125Lbs In one year! Neck: 15.5" to 11.5" R Upper Arm: 17.25" to 11.5" L Upper Arm: 17" to 11.5" R Forearm: 11.25 to 8.5" L Forearm: 11.5" to 8.5" Bust: 48.5" to 35.25" Under Bust: 42" to 30" Waist: 49" to 28.5" Hips: 56.5" to 37.5"!!!

(Can't you tell I am a tiny bit happy??) For any of you who are still unsure about going through with this surgery.. for me at least it was SO worth it. Even through the problems I have been having as of late.. and that was recently proven to be ALL STRESS! So I am on Welbutrin and I know you can't tell any difference for like up to a month.. but I can already tell a difference in only 4 days! Wholly Cow, I am so much more calmer.. it's like my brain was so thirsty and this was the cool drink of water it needed. <p> But throughout it all, this Surgery I had, (Lap Prox RNY), I am so much happier, HEALTHIER, and know that I am going to watch my kids grow up. I would do this ALL OVER AGAIN in a heartbeat! <p> My love to you all, bless all of you who have had this surgery and those of you who are going to have WLS. You ROCK!!! Love, Annie :)
