Great job! You look awesome!

50 lbs lost pre-op-the rest is post op.

The best changes often start as a single, simple thought. Think big, and discover the ways to make your dreams real. CheryL

Thanks everyone......It's such an odd experience. You get used to yourself and if you are like me, avoid the mirror as much as possible. This picture really spoke to me. The early one said....YES you do need the surgery!

and the second says there is a new me lurking......I am so excited. Today I weigh 205, 210 was my lowest ever as an adult and I have not been under 200 since high school in 1980! I can't wait.
I'm cheering for you all!
