8 Months Post-Op, 94 Pounds Gone Forever! With Pics

[Lissa 2,631]

Here are my 8 month post-op pics, along with a new pre-op picture of me I discovered tonight. I have to say that I feel like a whole new person... and, just for reference, I've probably lost almost as much as the bride in the picture weighs!!

You are looking awesome!

Very cool, Lissa! Love your quilt, too!

LOL BK Mama! That's not a pole. It's the divider between my mirrored closet doors. That's hilarious because a friend of mine's son keeps telling me it's time I took up stripping!

JSWilbur, Thanks. I love the quilt too! Would you believe I found it at Goodwill? $5 bucks! It's pretty well made, although it needs some hand sewing in a couple of places. I keep looking at the lost and found quilt site to see if anyone is looking for it.

Benisa, In Florida, notaries are allowed to perform weddings, and I am a travelling notary. It's a little different from what Louisiana notaries are allowed to do. Your state allows them powers that almost mimic an attorney's role in other states; mine doesn't.

The bride happens to be the daughter of one of my best friends. I was extremely honored to be asked to perform that wedding ceremony!

You look so different in the now pic, from the then pic. Dramatic difference! I know you are feelin fine!

Thanks, Mama! I posted it to FB earlier and JOKINGLY said that I was the blimp in the black dress. I got a TON of yelling at for that one. No, I don't think I was a blimp, just wanted to make sure folks knew I wasn't the bride in the picture!

Wait until I hit 100 pounds lost!! I'm gonna have to do something big! I believe the traditional thing is to post a dance on You Tube???
