Crosspost - Ruggie's before & after pics

Ruggie, Ruggie, Ruggie... 
I don't post much right now (going through some stuff...) but I am here daily reading everyone's posts. You are a treat, I love your posts, and your genuine self... Thank you for your contribution to the boards. You are such an inspiration to so many people.
I must say, that guy you used to be, I am all over that. You look like a lovable bear. I just want to hop in your lap and snuggle and chat. You look like such a sweetheart. I admit you remind me of my hubby, he is a lovable bear and loves to snuggle and is always there for me.
And the you now, wow... long and lean and handsome. You look great, and should be so proud of yourself. Congrats on your relationship with your partner... nothing like a good relationship.
Big hugs, all the best in maintenance...

Some people might not support my WLS decision.
Those people remind me of slinkys. Not good for much but it would would bring a smile to my face if someone pushed them down the stairs.
Ticker includes Pre-op weight loss 24 lb.
