Hi everyone,

I saw Dr. P last week and all is well with my bloodwork.
She's happy, the Nut is happy and I'm happy :)
And at 4 months out, I am down 104lbs!!
Of course 33 of that was right before surgery but I'm still counting it :)
I can't believe it!

But as thrilled as I am about losing 104lbs, here's where my real progress is being made...

I'm sure a lot of you can relate...I have always despised having my picture taken, even before becoming morbidly obese. And as some of you know, I have a 14yr old daughter that is my world and up until my RNY there have been no pictures of me or the two of us anywhere since she was a baby (to be honest there are only a few of those). This is a huge regret and is so sad and embarrassing that I can't believe that I am posting about it. But since my RNY, I have been trying to leave my comfort zone and take pictures with her. I have so much catching up to do! I love her more than anything and I have to do this for her and for me.

So, I've decided to include some pictures in this post....I hope they show up :)
If not they are on my profile.
[The pics are from the day of surgery, 3 weeks out, 3 months out and now - 4months out]

Congrats Steph,
You looked wonderful at the OH Event yesterday.

Keep up the great work.  And yes, you have every right to include that 33 lbs before surgery to your total.

I include the lbs I lost before surgery too.

Don't be embarrassed - many of us can relate to that!!  Your progress is great - and good for you for stepping out of your comfort zone.

You are looking FABULOUS dahling!!  104 pounds in 4 mos (including pre surgery!!) is just amazing!!  Whoo hoo!!  And yep - count those presurgery pounds - they came off too!!

Instead of complaining that the rosebush has thorns, be happy that the thorn bush has roses.
