6 month pics

First of all, I cannot believe I am finally one of those peeps on here who get to post 6 month photos! It's been almost a year since I found this website and started lurking (and then fortunately, lurking from the lapband board to DS board here thanks to the infamous surgery wars that saved my life! I am thankful for that...)

I have lost 96.5 lbs since surgery (although I could say -100+ from my highest but I am not counting that because i never got on the scale -- i just know I was over 300 lbs) and doing great! No complications, no major hair loss, no bathroom issues, no food intolerances except for cheap ice cream (Hagen Daz = no prob!), no nothing!

Shopping in regular department stores and loving it a bit too much. Very active, including running races and weight training. I hate running though, so I may switch to bike races. I love my bike!

I've had nothing but major support from everyone. I didn't hide my surgery from anyone. Still have to constantly explain to the same people over and over and that this isn't lapband or RNY. But oh well...:)

Here we go: 2008 highest weight pic, 2 weeks pre-surgery and today! :)

Guess what? You're gonna get smaller and smaller and smaller until you automatically pick up the size S off the wrack and worry that it may be too large!!!

Enjoy it is amazing.....Haagen Daz is the food of the Gods!
