I finally figured out how to add pics :)

Still preop so only "befores" but they're there.

You're GORGEOUS!!!! Uh - not that I ever doubted it, being a Princess and all... hehehe ... but it's nice to finally have a face to put with a personality. Loved the Super Bowl one - theres a lotta' ***** and sass smiling back at us, in that photo!

Y thank you ma'am! And let me clarify...I am NOT a Steelers fan! I lost a bet and had to wear the jersey! I'm from NY! We don't like Steelers...GO GIANTS!!

LMAO! ....that's just cruel cruel punishment, who'd do something like that to such a sweet lady? Let me at 'em! Er, unless they can kick my butt, then let my hubby have 'em.

Beautiful Princess Christine. Such a bright smile. Courtney 10 weeks out - 49 lbs

Princess Christine, You are absolutely stunning. And I agree with Lei, it's great to have a face to put with the post. Makes you more knowable....(is that a real word or one of those things I made up again)? LOL I love to see the pictures of all the people on the Virginia Board. I too am pre-op and playing the waiting game. Who knows, perhaps we will end up being surgery buddies. You have a blessed, wonderful day........... Lots of Love Kathy

Hey Christine, I had to post tonight, cuz I took the time to read your profile this morning (yes the entire thing LOL) and didn't have time before the morning routine to post to you. Anyway, You are simply stunning in your preop photos! I hope the no-smoking thing is going well. Sounds like you are a high-stress driven individual, and you've got the motivation and drive to succeed. I wish the the best of luck! Wendy

Thanks so much ladies! You all have NO IDEA how much I needed those compliments today! It's been one of those couple of days! You all really brightened it up for me! And Wendy, is my high-stress that evident in my posts! WOW never realized how "out there" I am! I always thought I kept it hidden pretty well...oops...guess not! One of these days I'll get the guts to take a full body pic... As for the no smoking thing...ehhh it's on and off. I'm still not smoking near as much as I was so still going in the right direction. Thanks again! Christine

Hey Christine, High stress is a good thing in your case! As you indicated, it keeps you motivated and you seem to thrive on it! As far as being "out-there" in your profile, that is a GOOD thing! Keep journaling, its therapeutic! Wendy
