WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW You look WONDERFUL!!! Yes I can see why people did not know you! AMAZING!! Keep it up girl!! Blessings Tonya

Thanks Tonya. All thought I see the difference I still have a hard time seeing myself as thin. I work in an assistant living home and one of our residents fell trying to go to the bathroom on his own without his walker. He was hanging on the side of the chair and I did not think I could fit over there to help lift him up as I kept thinking "I'M TO OBESE TO FIT" I was shocked when I fit over into that small area to lift him Donna 338/178

I can relate to that my friend!! I wonder why we still think of ourselves as we were before surgery?? I can see the difference but I'm still the same old Tonya!! Someone told me the other day..."I did not know it was you Tonya, until I heard your voice!" I'm thinking WHAT???!!! I wonder how long it takes us too see ourselves as "normal weight"? At times I hope I won't so I will always be aware of where I started this journey. Does that sound really weird?? Blessings Tonya

Don't sound strange at all. If it keeps you on track that's all that matters. It's easy to fall back into bad habits. Like eating the wrong foods or no****ching how much we eat. I don't eat right at times and I could kick myself in the butt. I have been walking my dogs every day so that's a plus in my bonnet My only big down fall is that if I eat something that don't agree with my pouch I use the old finger down the throat trick and up it all comes. I'm not sure if this is good or bad Throwing up is so easy now that I do it more then once a week. Even if I feel like I ate to much up comes the food. Donna 338/178
