Taken last night at Jake's barbecue joint, because we like the irony. ;) Here's me, finally-- post plastics!

We had brisket and corn nuggets and corn and garlic bread and mashed potatoes and coleslaw...and later for dessert, frozen yogurt with ridilculous mix-ins-- brownies, cookie dough, peanuts, etc. (I put one of each on my sundae-- so I can get a bunch of little tastes-- kills the cravings for weeks!) As always, we enjoyed every bite.

Anyway-- here's us! He started at 379 pounds and is now 204 (RNY 4/08)-- still has a way to go (about 20 pounds)--- I started at 368 (RNY 7/07) and am now an even 150 pounds-- still have some water and future plastics weight to drop (maybe 7 pounds). But we're getting there! Shootin' for a 400 pound loss...whee!

Thanks so much Hala.

Hala, I hope you don't mind my asking-- but I love languages and dialects. and sometimes your sentences are constructed in a neat way-- a slight "accent", I'd call it. We're you originally from another country?

Wow, you two look fantastic!!!    

Congrats to you both on all your hard earned work!!!    It has surely paid off.   

You both must be so proud.......and rightfully so!!!

As always Jupiter, you're such an inspiration to us all.

I love reading your posts......You're so honest and straight forward.

Have a great day.

P.S.  The food you had last night sounds wonderful......you have my mouth watering for it at 9:29 a.m.  (lol)

I post my food excursions so that pre-ops will understand that one day,  you WILL be able to eat tasty, fun stuff on occasion and make it work-- I didn't know that and spent my first year so damn depressed you'd think I'd lost my best friend-- which in a sense I had. It's certainly not for everyone, but so far, it's worked for us. Thanks for your kind words!
