It’s been 4 months since I’ve had surgery and so many things have changed. I’m down 93 pounds, I went from a size 26 to a 16 (or a tight 14), I went from a size 3x to a 1x, and I’m just lovin life. This has been such an awesome journey and a rollercoaster of emotions. The beginning was really tough on me, and I went through the classic buyer’s remorse but now I would do it again a hundred times over. As for personal changes my husband has mentioned that I’ve become vainer. Now it’s me hounding him so he can take photos of me instead of me running away from the camera. lol I wear form fitting clothes and always always wear makeup. Biggest change now is that I can wear my really high heels (aka my hooker heels, lol) comfortably. I wear them every single day and can’t imagine myself without my beautiful heels. Oh and now I always want to go out to the mall, park, basically anywhere but home. I also have to admit I don’t mind the extra attention I’m getting either. Before I use to be invisible but now I am defiantly getting noticed more everywhere I go. (That’s the one thing my husband isn’t too thrilled about lol) Anyways here is a link to some pics. Enjoy!!   http://s219.photobucket.com/albums/cc80/aphrodites59/?action =view¤t=1e500ee1.pbw

You look fantastic!! I am in the process of getting the surgery myself. I'm a little bigger than you at a starting weight of 356lbs but am hopeful that the process goes quickly for me too. I'm a little nervous about all the food restrictions but want more than anything to live a healthier life. My surgery is scheduled for August 21st which is right around the corner. My clinic has advised I go on a high protein diet for 30 days prior to surgery to make sure my liver is nice and loose and easily moved out of the way for surgery. Did you have to do something like that too?? How are you handling the extra skin? You're pictures look great so you may not have any trouble. I guess I'm just trying to get myself prepared. Any advise for this nervous patient?? Thanks so much and my best to your continued success!! Barbara

WOW you look great.  What a wonderfully feeling that must have been to be able to get those pants zipped.  Heels too!  Way to go.  Keep up the good work.
