Long time no post (Before & After Pictures!!)
Hello PA,
I know I don't post here often but as most of you know I'm a crazy Facebooking fool.
anyway, things are great. I'm down 113ish lbs from my 8/25/08 RNY surgery. I stalled at about 9 months and then out of no where lost 10lbs in the past 8 weeks to finally hit my goal that I thought I'd never see. (159lbs)
I have no issues ever, aside from the ocassional sweastly clammy naseua of dumping when I think I'm smarter than my pouch. My surgery is the BEST thing I've ever done for my personal health, my well being and my state of mind. Aside from that nothing in the outside world has gotten better or worse so it's not the cure all for everything. 9I havent' gotten an raise in 2 years, drive the same car, my bills are always late etc etc)
Anyway, I had to borrow my MILs camera card last weekend when mine was full and when I got home and plugged it in to download my pictures I realized the woman NEVER deletes a picture (seriously pictures on this card from Christmas 07) And if you're like I was you really never let people take pictures of you BEFORE or if they did I had to approve them (right angle, someone standing in front of me, me peeking out from behind a tree..you get my drift)
So I'm perusing the card and ran across an amazing sight! ME! All 272lbs of ME! I swear on my life I didn't even know who SHE was. I recognized everyone else in the picture but was like - "who's that chick" YIKES!
In a strange kind of way, this picture is something I will cherish forever and ever and I am so thrilled my MIL somehow snuck and unapproved picture past me.
BEFORE 272lbs 42.2 BMI Size 24
