I wanted to share my happiness and excitement.  It's been 4 weeks since my surgery and I've lost 28.5 lbs so far.  It's sooooo amazing to see that scale continue to go down instead of up! I posted a photo with a pre-op and 1 month comparison in my profile.  I couldn't remember what pants I wore the night before my surgery.  LOL!  The pre-op pic was taken at my brother-in-law's house the night before my surgery...don't I look LOVELY!??  OMG.  Thanks for letting me share my excitement!

Thanks Sheila! Most everyone has said something about my face being slimmer...I guess I lost about all 28 lbs from my cheeks.  haha!  I do notice it a little with the side-by-side but definitely don't otherwise. I hope to meet you tomorrow too!  It's going to be great!

Yeah.. but about 25 of that I lost before surgery.  I decided to loose as much as I could before I went under the knife.  So.. basically I have only lost 34 pounds since July 16th.. but hey.. weight loss is weight loss and I am counting it!!!  LOL
