6 months today (pics)

I can't believe it has already been 6 months and what a ride it has been!  I feel so lucky that I haven't had any complications and it really has been a very positive experience.  I feel so much better, both physically and mentally, and I have so much more confidence!  I am so, so very glad it finally worked out for me.  I was trying to have surgery in 2008 and with insurance complications, it didn't happen until Oct, 2010!  It was definitely well worth the wait!  Some days I feel like I just can't quit smiling!    

Thanks to everyone here for all the encouragement, support and advice!  I love you all!

Check out the photos!

You look AWESOME!!! What a lovely change. The sleeve is a gift of good health and getting one's life back.

Absolutely beautiful!

You look great and he looks very proud of you.

Thanks, and Price,  he is very proud of me!  He has been so supportive during this whole experience.  He said the nicest thing to me the other day...well actually two things....one, he told me I was HOT!      Whoa,  who me??   But the really nice thing was, he said to me was that if I had never lost one ounce, he would still love me just as much.  He is definitely a keeper!

Hail to LW Goddess Beverly, who ROCKS her sleeve and looks divine.


Thanks for posting the photos.  As a sleevie, I'm wondering what's possible for me at 6 months.  Your stats are very similar to mine, so I'm going to hope for similar results.
Any suggestions on how you did it, what you ate daily, and any words of wisdom?
