The first photo was taken just 3 days before my gastric bypass surgery so I must have weighed 287 lbs then. I remember this day very well. It was father's day and I was scared to death that I was going to die during surgery. I can remember thinking "well at least my family will have these last photos of me." (Yeah I was that morbid about it.) I am so happy that I put my big girl panties on and faced my fears. Life is 200% better now!

In the second photo I am 13 months post op and weigh 147 lbs! Life is hectic and far from easy BUT I have to admit...it makes things a hell of a lot easier when your not carting around an extra 164 lbs!

[Starting Weight: 311] [Surgery Weight: 287] [Current Weight: 141 [Goal Weight: 150] 9 lbs BELOW goal! Yay!

You look awesome. I just showed my 7 year old because I am trying to get her to understand about the surgery. She doesn't believe that you are the person in both pictures. Amazing!
