Ok ladies and gentlemen, I finally got around to posting my 6mo post op photos. As of this am- 187lbs- total of 59lbs GONE FOREVER! I'm hoping to be brave enough by my 8month post op to actually post bikini photos

( Yikes! Did I really just publicly commit to that????- she's lost her mind....must have been out in the sun too long!

I know how much reading everyone's up dated blogs help me, so I even did a brief blog up date as well..... Thanks so much for all the love and support found here!

Sheila

I am a work in progress and I am committed to progress with the work ahead of me.....

Barb- it's about time for you to leap frog past me....I usually hold for 2-3 weeks after a loss, but I'm hitting my exercise HARD......or is it hitting me hard????

Be careful with those wedding rings! But- what a great feeling, huh? I've been putting candle wax in the back side of my bands to keep them safely on my hand- just took an old candle and dig a lil wax into the inside of the band- its quick and cheap. Can't wait to see you in Oct! Sheila
