I have a new "before" picture in my full glory

Just a note to say I updated my "before" picture. I couldn't find one of me alone so I had a group shot, but now I've got one of me by myself. Taken amidst the majesty of the Grand Canyon, I take up half the space of the canyon itself it would seem -- and that wasn't even my heaviest weight!! I got off of my very loooong plateau in the last week or so, and I am moving close to -70 lbs. That leaves me with 45 lbs. to reach dr.'s goal, 60 lbs. to reach my ideal goal. I had the pleasure of shopping for bras this week. I started out before the surgery in an overwhelming 44DD; I'm now fitting into 38DD -- still got some pretty serious "girls" but they are shrinking!! It's a nice little victory to know I don't have to be relegated to the plus-sized corner for that. Hope everyone is having a good day -- the rain is over!!!!

Kathy, I don't think your thighs could fill the canyon..lol You sound like me. I'm always making comments like that. You look fantastic in your newest pic. What a start it is!!! Celebrate all your little victories. And Hoooooray for no more rain..It looks like a beautiful weekend is on the way!!!! Maggie

I think you look great now too! Keep up the good work. You are an inspiration for us pre-ops who STILLl have thighs the size of the Grand Canyon! Anne Pre-op

Kathy, you look great! You have a radiance around you that doesn't seem to be in your before picture. I see blue skies...
