THIS IS WHEN YOU REALIZE....

Just how friggen BIG you once were.I have kept this pair of jeans that I wore  right up to surgery day.  Let me tell ya...they were TIGHT! You know the tight when you are uncomfortable and have marks all over your tummy from them being too tight..ya well thats where I was....miserable! Here I am a year post op and so loving life and the much smaller me! I am so thankful for this surgery...whoo hoo!!!! Before: Size 26/28 a.k.a HUGE Now: Size 10/12 a.k.a. HAPPY!

That is so awesome!!  I have a pair of size-26 jeans I'm holding on to so I can take a similar picture someday.  Afterwards I think I'll re-upholster the sofa with them. :)  

Congrats on your success Lisa, you look so happy!

HIJACK Dang! Look at you!

Thanks Monica! Its a great idea about upholstering the sofa... I am so glad I saved them. You are looking great girl...keep it up!!!

OMG put some shoes on, aren't your feet freezing???? I know how great you are doing I see your skinny ass once a week.  You look so good...just in case I haven't told you lately.  I found the blouse that I wore on my before pictures last night when cleaning that closet out, I can't wait to try it on and take a picture.  I still have some pants too, the good old 32's. I am VERY proud of you, and I am so happy that we are great friends.  I know how different life can be losing so much weight, and it's so wonderful to share all those moments with you. Keep up the great work my friend.  You are one of those very fortunate people who are a walking commerical for WLS.  No problems and nothing but success. Love U lots, D

You always tell me and are a constant support to me. I am so lucky to have you for a friend! I cannot wait to the pics of you in those 32's...that will be fun!!!! Love you!
