I'm not a vet, but a work in progress. I don't post a lot of pictures, mostly because I don't have a lot taken of me. I still struggle daily with the inner fatso and it really hurts me to look at pictures of myself at my largest. I wish I had taken more (any) true before/after pictures because after I got done fighting tears off about my before pictures, I felt some better after finding an after. Here goes nothing!
February 2011 - probably 30 pounds lower than my highest weight
July 2011 - Beach Vacation with my family. I was super fat and miserable, probably my highest weight ever.
And finally, the work in progress.... December 2012, a little less than 13 months post surgery.
This is a five generation picture my family had done the beginning of December. The back row is my mom, daughter, and grandmother, the middle row is my other daughter and myself (blonde) and the front row is my beautiful granddaughters that bring so much joy to my life. I am thankful I had this surgery 9 1/2 years ago, so I can be here to spend their lives with them.
