Wow Linda - you look great!  Now - instead of the blue shirt  how about a more fitted one... or perhaps a small fitted jacket type of shirt... waist length to just above the hips... you would rock that big time!

This was taken 2 days after surgery - I was all swollen and in comfy pants - I look like a box!  I was appalled when I saw it then!



After - 2 years out (last Oct)



I really need a new full length pic - not that I'll be happy with it.  Tom took one of me in DC... I'm going to see if I can get it from him.

Jody, I don't think I've ever seen that before picture.  You have done an amazing job and I love following your journey because you let us see the struggles to maintain.
You are looking good.

Thanks for the advice on the shirt.  After DH took the picture I thought that the overshirt looked a little big on me too so I posted the one without the overshirt also.  I wish I could wear sleeveless, but even without WLS I would not have done that my arms already were sagging!!

Linda - I thought your arms looked great!

I usually don't post t his before pic because I AM so embarrassed by it - usually its one with my son 4 months before surgery. 

I found a picture of me from 2 summers go in a pencil skirt with shirt and a sweater - They were all size 4's and smalls, but they just HUNG on me - well, I can say they don't do that anymore - LOL..  its amazing how a picture shows what we really look like versus what we think we see in the mirror.

OMG Jody - replace your head in your before picture with mine and I'm betting we are twins separated at birth!  Same exact shape.  I will post my day before op pictures next week...

What a great thread!  Thanks, Linda!

Jody, that is because I've got them flat to my side!!  LOL-- if I held my arms out you would see what I mean!!

I'm thinking that as long as I keep this very embarassing picture around it will help to keep me from getting too far out of control.

Jenn,
You did an amazing job with your first surgery.  You don't look like you have much to lose after your revision.   
I loved your hair with that short cut!!  Sometimes I wish I had the nerve to do something cute like that.

I miss my short hair...LOL...But I figured after about 4 years of it I had to grow it out for a change.  Usually my hair is straight and has a cute angle.  Perhaps I will post another picture tomorrow---but everyone with their size 2 / 4 /0 make me look bad.  At my lowest I was 172 and I was a medium or an 8 skirt / 10 pants....I am not sure if I will get there again...trying hard.  My DH was purring when I found the skinny me picture- though he was quick to say he finds me attractive in all of them.
