I'm sitting here this morning dealing with lots of emotions as I think about WLS and the 7 years that have passed.  Lots of joy in knowing so far I've been able to control the food monster and regain.  Sure I mess up I'm not perfect but knowing that I never want to see myself like I did before I'll keep fighting forever to maintain a doable weight for ME.

My sincere thanks to all of you that have shared the ups and downs of WLS and life in general.  I'm forever grateful for the friendships that I'll treasure my entire life.

Taken before surgery 239.8 lbs, after a pre-op diet and losing 21 lbs.



Yesterday 119.8 lbs.

Fantastic!  Also, I recognize that top in your "before" picture.  I had one just like it but in brown!

I see you lost a lot of weight off your face.  How did your skin hold up?  I'm halfway along and one side of my face is a bit droopy and uneven compared with the other side.  don't know if it's normal, if it will even up or what is going to happen,  but YOU look gorgeous.

God you even look taller!  At 4 ft 11, I hope I end up  looking taller too.
