new avatar and b/a pics (hopefully)

I hope I can figure out how to post pictures.  The before picture was the night before surgery June 4 and the after picture is our family Christmas picture taken last Saturday.  What a difference 6 months makes!!

you look wonderful!!!!!

Unbelievable!!  Great job and congrats.

WOW and only six months out! You go girl! Good looking family too!

It's so funny because when I look at the Christmas picture, I still see fat at 156 pounds.  Will my brain ever catch up to reality?  I know that the top I am wearing is a Petite Small and the skirt is a 12, but still I see fat!  Really though, the first thing I notice is the difference in the look on my face.  I always thought I was a happy person, but apparently by looking at the before picture, I was not.  Oh but look at me now, I can't quit smiling.  I even found dimples I never knew I had!
