Okay I did it... posted some pictures.

I posted some pictures on my profile if you want to take a look at them. The one's that I posted you can tell some but tonight I will make hubby take some more recent ones. I also fit into an 18 shirt today for work...I am so HAPPY. Before surgery I was wearing a tight 24 size pants. Since then I have put them away (keeping them to see where I have been) I have been wearing 22 size pants but they were falling off...wonder why but this morning I thought what the heck. My oldest son did not like the outfit as he told me that it did not match (darker red and black hose and shirt with multi colored sweater) Kids!! Enjoying looking at the photos and I can not wait to hear what you have to say about them (if you can tell) Hugs~~ Deanne

WOWWWWWWWWWWWW lookin good!!! Your right about your face. HUGE change. You look awesome!!! Great job getting into smaller sizes!! I cant wait to go shopping for new clothes. I am being stubborn though lol. I am not buying new till the ones I am wearing have to be held up with rope, duct tape and pins lmaoooo I am keeping a pair of "fat" clothes myself lol. I will keep them forever so they are always a reminder. You have a beautiful family!!! *big hugs* Felicia =)

Thank you so very much. I knew that I could tell but was not sure if others could. lol I am the same way about the clothes I have not even thought about (okay I have thought about it) but have not even went out to look at new clothes yet. I feel the same as you the old ones will do fine unless they fall off. lmaoooo!! I will be taking some more tonight and you will be able to see the difference I am sure. My Dad told me that I am not as thick in the middle...I guess it is a compliment but not sure I would of said those words. Thanks Again!! Hugs~~ Deanne

LMAOOO thats a "guy" for ya lol. They always use the most tactful wording don't they lol. Cant wait to see the new pics!! *hugs* Felicia =)

I'd say...WOW!!!! You look amazing. Your face is looking so thin. I bet you feel great. I've got a while to go before having a family picture taken. Actually, my husband is planning on having WLS after the first of the year, so maybe next summer we will have a family picture taken. I bet you are so excited to be in an 18 top. I have not worn an 18 in years. WTG Girl. I actually broke down and went shopping this past weekend. I was a 26 when I had the surgery and am now into a 22. I have some 22's in my closet, but I needed more jeans and Fashion Bug had a 50% off sale on Sunday and I figured that would be a good time to buy stuff. I also needed bra's I have been wearing my nursing bras for the past year, since I quit nursing my daughter. Time to get rid of them. I found some AWESOME push-up bras at Fashion Bug that with the sale only ended up costing about $8. It finally felt good to try on clothes.
