8 months out (Saturday) - GOAL (long and with lots of photos)

You look absolutely gorgeous: before, during & after!  Congratulations to you!   Way to go!!!

Thank you!!!!

congratulations Raven! You are beautiful and you look so happy and glowing. It is wonderful to see! 

I feel like I'm going to burst with fruit flavor!  Thank you :)  I feel like we've been on this journey together bc we had surgery within days of each other, and I'm always cheering you on! 

Raven - I am so, so excited for you! You are really an inspiration for me and LOVE reading you goal post, especially when I am struggling so much at the beginning of this journey.  I appreciate you sharing so much of you and being so supportive to everyone!  You are gorgeous and will get to your revised goal in no time!

I remember the beginning.  I had a really easy recovery thankfully, but the head hunger, the nausea, the terrible amount of acid I had.  It gets so much easier, and so much more fun.  I have bad days, and I've been trying to reach out for support in whatever fashion I can get it.  It always helps in some way.  Keep posting, keep getting support, it shows strength to reach out.  You will be have your own goal post in no time!

So very happy for you!!!!  I'm bouncing in my seat with joy.

You are a true beauty (and that baby girl, too!).  Enjoy your initial goal.  I'll be cheering you all the way to your ultimate goal!!

Thank you!  I'll be cheering you all the way to yours!

Wow! You look great! Congrats on reaching your goal.

Thank you so much!  You've been really inspiring to me, and I'm very much looking forward to your goal post.  You are always so honest and forthcoming about your journey.  I appreciate that so much.
