I can totally see the difference in your pictures!  I wasn't seeing a large change for me  until the doctor gave me my pre-surgery photo that they took in the office back in November. OMG .. I was SO freakin' disgusting!  No wonder I was so miserable!

This has been one of the best things to happen to me in my lifetime!  Right up there with having my kids!! 

Congrats on your hard work as well.  (I commented more on your 6 month post!)

Keep it up!

Julie,
I am so happy for you.
Keep up the great job.
Hope to hear from you soon.

Thanks Kristy.  It feels great to be under 200lbs.  Especially since my dr said that he thought that I would end up being about 200 lbs when I was through.  He didn't think that at my starting weight and my age I would get much lower.  I am 51.  I didn't like hearing that at all.  I hope he tells me something more positive when I have my appt next week.  I think since I am where he thought I would be at the end now at 6 months he might have to change his mind.  I work out at the gym 5 days a week.  I try to do everything I can to make this work for me.  I want this so bad.   

Way to go getting under 200. I've got 22 to go before I'm there.  Keep up the good work and remember even if you're losing slower than others, you're losing way faster than you did before WLS. 

Congratulations, you're doing great! I'd be so stoked to be in a size 6.
