Before and After Pictures...
Yes, I speak spanish perfectly. I am from Los Angeles, California but my parents are Mexicanos. My dad was from Chihuahua and my mom is from Jalisco. They have been in the US since 1960's. I have one confession though, I have never been in Mexico except Tijuana and I don't like that part of Mexico. I have heard that it is beautiful there. Maybe one day!

Hola Nik!!!
I have seen your pictures from your last post... when I look to your picture at the hospital, I think "WoW, she looks like another person... and look at her now... she is wearing a bikini... it's amazing how huge is the change in our body and in our mind... some times in our spirit too..."
Wonderful job... you look beautiful
My best wishes for you...

Alejandro,
Thanks so much for the compliment....
I think the whole changing of the mind process was worse than the changes we had to go through physically. With recently having my TT done, I know see more than before how thin I am, before I still thought of myself as heavy, because when I looked down I still had my "belly" of extra skin. I don't know how men are, but as a woman, I constantly compare myself to other women....I think most of us do. I still have a problem with that, because I really don't know how large or small I am compared to other people. My husband says I am weird
, but I think that is how most of us grew up...worrying about how we compared to others. Goofy I know. Still adjusting!

Nik You are not alone Nik...
Some times I feel like going nuts too... I am still adjusting mentally to my new body.
Some times when I am ready to go to the bath and look at the mirron I say: Wow!! you are skinny!!! which is, at the same time, funny and amazing to realize for my fat mind....
But back at the subject... have you seen yourself in a position in which you think: " No way, I will not be able to do that !!!, I am too big!!" ?
The other day a car parked reeeeaaaally near to mine. When I openned the door I said to my self: "Myself: No way, the gap is too narrow for you to enter to your car", and before I knew I was sitted in my car with no effort at all!!!.
Keep up the good job Nik... we still have to deal with our fat minds with all our compultions menazing us to gain weight again...
Best Regards

You look amazing! Keep up the good work.
I did find a picture of me from 2002 but I wasn't at my highest weight and you can just see my face. I'm on the left. Probably about 285 in this picture.

Sorry Godmother...
I wasn't able to see your pictures... but I entered to your profile... what a difference from the picture taken in the kitchen when you are three months postop...
Congratulations!!! I am sure you feel much better now... if I recall right you were highly medicated at those time. How are you doing now? you had diabetes righ?
I hope you are well...
Best Regards and a lot of hugs from your godson
