Tonya, I haven't logged onto the scrapbook site in quite a while. So glad to hear that you have had your surgery. WAY TO GO, GIRL! How are you feeling? Judy

I will have to post pictures of the pages I have done. I have "before" pictures, of course. While in the hospital I saved EVERYTHING! I have the Heperin bottles (good for fairy dust), the rubber strips used for taking blood (used in place of ribbons), all hospital bills, etc, lemon swab packages, pics, IV tubes, steri-strips as they fell off, etc. I saved it all and the nurses and docs loved to help me save it. Now I make sure I have at least a two-page spread at each month. I even have pages of major milestones - Century Club, 100 pounds lost, single digit clothes. I am having a ball! Judy

Good luck on your scrapbook! I'm planning to do one too...try to use my monthly pictures and although I didn't keep a journal...I plan to do some writing about how my life has changed, how I feel, etc. I do have a title though (and if you like it I'd be pleased to share it with you) ....it's "Journey to Small". I always take pictures at my monthly support group and plan to include pictures of them too...as well as other WLS friends I've made. I wish I'd taken a picture of my surgeon...but guess I can do that in March when I see him for my 'one year' check up. I'd love to hear what kinds of ideas you have for your scrapbook. It's fun to read the replies to your letter....everyone has such great ideas! Again, good luck! ~Kathy~

I've done mine! I have always loved Snow White and used that as a theme for the princess that I always wanted to be. Used all of the drawfs as emotional icons. Used Doc to make a page for my surgeon, Grumpy for one of my bad days, Happy for the new me and so on. I started my book with a baby pic of me and ended it with a 2005 pic of me and Santa. I love the way it turned out. I had pics taken every month after my WLS and my book turned into an epic! Its huge but I am thrilled with it. I had moments of sadness while doing my book, seeing where I was, and how much time that I lost being so big and unable to do the things that make me so happy now. Hope this helps! Good luck! Cathy

I am getting ready to begin a WLS scrapbook, and was wondering if anyone had done one...if so, do you have any ideas you would be willing to share? Thanks, ~~em
