wedding photos...after 240 lb weight loss

hi all!
I had my surgery back in May 2010.  Since then I have lost a total of 240 pounds.
My new husband proposed to me a month before surgery because he said that he did not want to wait any longer because he didn't want anyone to think that he proposed just because I lost weight.  We had been together 10 years at that point and I had told him not to propose all those years because I did not want to be in a wedding dress in a 400lb body. 

he has been with me through it all.  he never judged me, always supported me.  he is so happy that i am healthy now and am a happier and more active person. i really lucked out, he is an amazing man.
here is one of my "before" photos" taken a month after surgery


We were married 9/24/11.  Here are some photos (non-professional)!!
hope you don't mind alot of pictures!!
the wedding dress turned out amazing...however, i had to have it taken in a total of 27inches!!! and she made the sleeves.  I was so nervous...but LOVE the dress!!!
i still cannot believe that this is now my body.

my gastric bypass saved my life and helped me start living it to the fullest!!!
