1 year surgiversary! (a day late with photos you've probably already seen)

Aww, thanks, Frisco.  You should read some of my college poetry, you'd take back that comment ;)

Thanks

Awesome!  Happy surgiversary!

Thanks!

Wow, I can so relate to everything in your post! That is so me. You are such an inspiration and I have faith that I can do this because of stories like yours. Thank you for your honest and wonderful post! You look amazing!

Thank you!  I'm glad my posts can give people some faith they can do it too.  I think feeling like you're not alone in this can go a long way to feeling like you're strong enough for this war. 

Deena - congratulations on one FANTASTIC journey!  I'm happy to hear that by peeling back all the layers of excess weight that you found your true self and are allowing her to live life LOUD and PROUD! 

You are a true inspiration - thanks to you for everything you contribute to these boards. 

Thank you!  I really appreciate that.  It is amazing that by removing the fat, allowing myself the vulnerability of living life exposed without the protective layers of fat, that I have managed to really embrace me and what it means to be me.  I hope I can continue with this.  I will work to continue this :)

That was beautiful! I'm so happy for you that you found yourself. I get that...thanks so much for sharing your story, your beautiful pix, your experiences and so much of your joyous new self with all of us....and BTW, Congratulations on your surgiversary! You Rocked It!
