Pic on profile

We went to Bump Day in Indianapolis this weekend and Tom took a picture of the kids and I before we went in. It was just amazing. I would have never been able to go before and would have made up some excuse out of embarrassment as to why I didn't want to instead of saying "I'm too fat and I can't even walk from the car to the entrance." I weigh 242 now (well, before the water weight that PMS packed on) and have lost 223 lbs so far! I can feel my bones all over from my shoulders to my ribs and hips but I have sooo much skin. You just wouldn't believe it!

LuLu, You look great. You have done so well. You also have some cute kids. I'm so happy that you are able to go out and be a part of life. I'm sure your husband and kids are so proud of you. Thank you for letting us share in your success. Life is great, Rick

WOW-WEE-WEE Lulu....you look amazing - absolutely beautiful. Your kids are equally adorable. Congratulations on such a good job...you are an inspiration to everyone who goes through this surgery. Keep up the good work...Hugs to you, Barbara

Thanks guys. It seems so slow going now and I still have a long way to go but every day feels better than the last. When I posted the pic I looked at my before pics again and they never cease to shock me. Stun is maybe a better word. Ack!

WOW! Lulu, you look so gorgeous! I'm so proud of all that you have accomplished. Isn't it wild to feel bones?!?! It shocks me every time I accidently touch my collar bone area. Who knew that was there??? Congratulations and thanks for sharing a new picture! Hugs, Stephanie
