6 months post-op PICTURES!

Hi all Well, yesterday was exactly 6 months since surgery. I feel great and I am so happy I had this surgery. I'm doing really well...still trying my best to drink all my fluids and yeah sometimes I forget to take the calcium or the iron pill but I do it on most days. I still struggle with exercising but I never give up. Anyway, just wanted to share with you all my pre-op & six month post-op pictures. They are towards the bottom of my profile. Thanks everyone for your encouragement and support, you all mean a lot to me . Elisa

You look awesome sistah! The 70+ pound loss really shows. One of the things I noticed is in the forward facing picture. On the before, you loowed knocked kneed. Now, you look normal with your legs together. I remember when I first noticed that on my pictures. I'm on vacation, typing from my hotel room. I got to have my picture taken wih Gigi Edgely. Who's that you say? Then, I guess you're not a Farscape fan! LOL I haven't weighed myself since I left. I'll weigh later when I get to my mom's house. We have a 4 hour drive ahead of us in a bit. Take care and keep up the good work!!
