5 weeks Before & After Pic
I used a paint program and cropped my pre-op photo and my 5 week post op photo and put them side by side, so that I can see the difference and I posted this in my albums in case anyone else wants to see. I am now at 60lbs even weightloss, and somedays it is closer to 65lbs lost.
I got to shave my legs the other day, first time since like the beginning of spring. I was glad that I can now get my leg up on the shower bar without pain or my stomach in the way :)
Also I can finally fit into a pair of jeans I got almost 2 years ago, so that was nice. I care more about my appearance now that I have something other than my sweatpants to wear.
Also on my bra I got to make the shoulder strap a little smaller too.
Don't mean to sound like I am bragging or anything, but these are big things to me. I can scratch my butt standing up too, LOL I guess my butt is shrinking too. I can hold my hands behind my back and I can almost touch the floor when I bend down with my knees straight.\
Yay yay
Thanks everyone for your support.
