(x-post) 4 months post op with pics!

Feeling like a million bucks, ladies and gentleman!!!

I am down 75 pounds since my highest weight - and about 66 since the surgery.  This includes a leak and a ONE MONTH STALL between the third and fourth month (hence the lower numbers those months).  I am finally starting to lose weight again.  About 1-2 pounds per week, which is what I was told to be doing.

I had a leak.  I spent an extra week in the hospital.  I spent 5 weeks with a stent in my stomach (which was more uncomfortable than being 9 months pregnant), and I have had to learn to do things a lot differently than I used to do it.... But let me tell you... I would do this 100 times over again.  All the post op photos were my inspiration, so here are some of mine..

 

These first two were taken just a couple weeks before surgery.

This was taken about a month ago

And this was just last week.  I'm on the right.  (yes I'm promoting the VOTE NO campaign in both photos - The marriage amendment in MN)
