Hi Michelle, Way to go and cannot wait to see next pics for 100 pounds lost SMILE! Kathy K

Thank you ladies. I just wanted to add.. I had some requests for the pics. I was rushing out to a movie last night and posted them in a hurry. My message came off sounding more self promoting than I wanted it to be. So, sorry about that. Mostly, I wanted my mom & Grandmother in Texas and a few other people contemplating surgery to see them. I'm such a skeptic and didn't think it would work for me.. so I thought taking pictures so I could see the results would be a good. I know it's crazy, but part of me, the big whale part of me, thinks I might have actually gained weight since surgery.. so I need that pudding for proof. (I'm a weird one, I know) Lastly, before I had this surgery, I looked at tons and tons of pictures and was so motivated. I was hoping that I could do the same for someone else. I didn't mean for it to come off like "look at me".. because that's just not me. It's more like "please make me invisible". A close friend pointed out after the fact that putting my pictures up might make someone else feel bad. I hope that's not the case. Anyhow.. thanks for listening. Take care, Michelle

Michelle, I don't think putting your pictures up would make someone else feel bad! I think it is would be motivation for all of us. Just like the before and after section, which I check daily! Keep up the good work! Anne

You have every right to self-promote! Look at all the hard work paying off. Damn straight you are going to gloat and you should! We are all so very proud of you and on the by and by .. those that would feel bad, might just be a little jealous. But shhhh, I didn't say that! MORE PICS!!! Tara

Hey Michelle, Do not ever, EVER feel bad about your accomplishments!! Thats why we're here, to celebrate our success! Like I told you before, your "before" picture was beautiful, and it still is but now you can really see the happiness in your face! You go girl! Keep up the good work and keep us informed of your progress! YOU are an inspiration!! -Deb

Michelle, I just read your profile and saw your new pics. CONGRATULATIONS! It must be a great feeling! I can't wait. Much more success to you!! Phyllis
